God damn I’m excited.
Another poorly planned and ill conceived Uni Revue is about to be birthed into the world and we want your help delivering it. Open auditions for Uni Revue 2013 are being held at Old Nick HQ
Sunday March 3 @ 9:45am
&
Monday March 4 @ 9:00pm
The audition format is group singing, dancing and performing. This is followed by a one on one interview where you can sing solo (if you want) and tell us a joke (if you can).
This year over 55 teenagers from 19 different schools have joined with Old Nick to rehearse their summer holidays away.
Old Nick Hobart Summer Theatre School is proud to present the 2013 production of The Drowsy Chaperone. The show tells of a die-hard musical theatre fan who invites us into his dreary living room. As he drops the needle on his all-time favorite album (an outrageously funny musical from the 1920s) The Drowsy Chaperone bursts into life complete with a pampered starlet, gangsters, chorus girls and all manner of mayhem.
Directed by Darren Sangwell with musical direction from Aaron Powell & Ian Williams - tickets are available from the door or Centertainment.
This is not an Old Nick production but some of our members are performing in the Port Arthur History Plays this season.
Performed on site at Port Arthur, the season runs 27 December – 25 January every day except Saturday.
There are three plays, each showing twice a day. More information can be found here and here.

Coin in the jukebox
The Mercury – Tuesday, October 23, 2012
By Robert Jarman
Back to the Eighties is a jukebox musical.
The plot is just an excuse to perform more than 20 of the most memorable and pleasurable hit songs from that fashion blighted decade.
With 27 bright-eyed and mullet-tailed youngsters and three adult performers, this Old Nick production looks and feels very much like the annual Uni Revue.
There’s a slightly witty set and a host of colourful costumes.
Also, a terrific band and good singing, solos and chorus.
The numerous dance routines are thoroughly drilled and performed with zest.
Above all, there is enough energy to power several love shacks all night long.
As with Revue, jokes are telegraphed and followed by pauses for laughter.
All the dialogue is slow.
Opening night clocked in at three hours.
The performers could shave off 40 minutes without even breaking a sweat.
The staging is up-front, the performances in-your-face.
There’s an awful lot of colour-by-numbers acting but a few performances are infused with individuality and originality.
Sam Dean is understatedly charming as the soulful lead.
Sophie Tyrrell delights and her trio with Vicki Croall and Hannah McGowan of Let’s Hear It for the Boys sparkles.
Noteworthy, too, is Nick Paine’s winning rendition of Video Killed the Radio Star.
Paine also teams up with Zac Lennon as an accidental pair of very funny backing dancers in a well-staged version of The Proclaimers’ 500 Miles.
Back To The 80s runs until November 3 at the Theatre Royal.
Tickets are $39 ($29 concession/group) from the Theatre Royal Box Office or Centertainment.
Tickets are still available for our latest show Back To The 80s
$39 ($29 concession/group) and available now from the Theatre Royal or Centertainment.
All Old Nickers are hereby requested to initiate our New Nickers at the 2012 Old Nick Dinner.
This years slex fest will be held at Soho Friday 30th November. More importantly, our theme is Naughtycal (the bastard child of naughty + nautical). Interpret that how you will but I’ll be coming dressed as a boat that just can’t play by the rules.
As always there’ll be food, drink and mediocre prizes for best dressed, worst dressed and whatever else we make up on the night.
Slightly differently this year, we’re charging EVERYONE $20 to attend. If you’re confused by that, here’s a breakdown:

For questions, dietary requirements & RSVP (no later than Tuesday 27 November) please email the organiser.
