This was the last show that Kris directed in Australia before moving
overseas. It allowed him to work with a cast of young performers who
were really emerging in Melbourne.
The staging conceit was to try and find a way to link the pieces,
so it wasn't so "revue-ie". It ended up being staged in
a "magical promenade" - a kind of dreamlike environment
where you could imagine these characters were coming to answer critical
questons in their life before they moved on. The specificity of the
Kander and Ebb songs really worked well in a context that was more
unreal.
