THE BACKSTAGE CAT SEZ

NOTHING official yet, but it’s more than a definite maybe that a new Reg Livermore show is not too far off. That is, a Reg show rather than Reg in somebody else’s show. And Madam Wondrous, Nancye Hayes, is closely involved in it.

Whether it’ll be titled Living National Treasures on Tour is anyone’s guess, but as uber-indie producer Christine Dunstan is also up to her neck in the undertaking you can be sure it won’t be afraid to leave the metro area and travel. Regional Australia: watch your theatre schedules for late 2010 and 2011 and watch this space. Btw, pictured here is Reg as a gorgeous young thing, a role he played almost as well as he does the Gorgeous Mature Thing.

APPARENTLY there’s an idea in the wind to do another “three divas” – this time with Yvonne Kenny joining Judi Connelli ad . It’s a great idea, if you think about it for a minute. Aside from the great voices, there’s the humour – all three have over-developed funny bones. And Kenny came up with a possible title: Jurassic Divas. True.
