Audio recordings from the 1968 Uni Revue – Casinova
During the Theatre Royal open day, Peter Reardon lent me some audio recordings of two previous Revues – Casinova from 1968 and Unicorn from 1952. Both are on LPs (you know, round black things like CDs, only bigger and … blacker). I’ve started to transfer these to audio files.
Casinova is done, and the results are presented here. The Unicorn disks are in a bit worse shape, and will take longer to do.
To hear the files from Casinova, click the “read the rest of this entry” link.
Don’t expect great quality. The recording has a bit of reverb from the venue. I’ve cleaned up the recordings as much as possible.
Next Revue Club Meeting
Just a reminder that the next Revue Club meeting is 7:30 Monday, 7th December at the Old Nick rooms at Letitia St.
Revue Club
From the 2009 Uni Revue
Announcing the Revue Club. From our newly elected President, Graeme Paine:
“The first Revue Club meeting will be next Monday 5th October at 7.30pm at Letitia Street.
The plan is to hold the club on the first Monday of each month at 7.30
The club is open to anyone interested in Revue. Either those who have been in revue or those thinking of getting involved.
The idea of the club is to brainstorm events of the past month, discuss potential material, script development and training. In the future we might arrange guests to come and give training on various aspects of Revue, such as joke delivery, song writing, set design etc
Anyone interested is welcome to come along.”
So there you have it. This gives you a chance to see what Revue is all about. Believe it or not, it’s not all about crude jokes, rude words, or nudity (though some people believe it should be).
Look forward to seeing you there.
2010 Uni Revue Director
It’s that time again.

P.O. Box 180

2009 Uni Revue final dress rehearsal pictures
Obama Mia! final dress rehearsal pictures are now on-line here. These are mine (johnd) but more will be posted soon, including some from the technical rehearsal.
(P.S. I’ve noticed a few hits on the site from people using Google to search for “old nick revue nude photos”. Sorry, you won’t find any here.)
P.P.S. There are more pictures avaliable here. Thanks to John King Smith.
Goodbye to the 2009 Uni Revue Obama Mia! …
…and hello to Hamlet.
The 2009 Uni Revue has finished it’s season. Well done to everyone involved.
You can buy tickets now to our next show, Hamlet.
How old is Old Nick?
Apparently it’s older than we thought….
Revue Closes in Hobart, Opens in Launceston!
The 2009 Uni Revue, Obama Mia!, closed in Hobart tonight. Everything is packed up and ready for the trek north to Launceston. Thanks to everybody who came to see the show in Hobart.
If you are planning on seeing the Revue in Launceston, then you had better book soon, as there are only a few tickets left. In fact, do it right now the hi-tech way – On Line.
Jake is a hit!
The 2009 Uni Revue Omaba Mia! is now on stage, and so is Jake! Jake has confirmed the faith Revue director Craig Wellington showed in him, and last night showed that Revue can take any down-and-out kid and turn him into a star!
2009 University Revue Obama Mia! Now On Stage!
Obama Mia! has finished it’s Hobart season, and opens at the Princess Theatre Launceston on Tuesday 26th. May.
Obama Mia! opened on Friday night (8 May 2009) and the audience enthusiastically showed their appretiation for the slick, fast and funny show. The new format of one 90-minute act with no interval was also well received.
From The Mercury review:
“This revue is not short of pep, and has its audience warmly by the throat. It’s not perfect – of course they never are – but the giggles far, far outweigh the groans.”
“It’s a young company with quite a few unfamiliar faces but their energy and dancing discipline keeps the show high, wide and handsome.”
“The grand finale about American politics, with a dash of Oz, is long but great fun.”
The Launceston season is 26-30 May at the Princess Theatre. To book for the Launceston show, phone 03 6323 3666, or book online here.
And if you missed it in Hobart … well … Launceston is only two hours away on the Midlands Super-Highway. After all, most people in Melbourne or Sydney travel two hours (or more) to see a show in their own town!
Old Nick & the Uni Revue’s social conscience – we give Jake a chance
Wednesday, 29th April 2009
Several listeners rang Heart 107.3 on Wednesday morning to tell Kim and Dave that there was a guy standing on the Hobart approach of Brooker Highway with a sign reading “Need a Job”. Mostly they rang to say the guy’s sign was rubbish: poorly painted with no phone number.
2009 Uni Revue – “Obama Mia!”
It’s “that” time of year!
The 2009 Uni Revue Obama Mia! opens on Friday 8th May at the Theatre Royal. This promises to be Revue as you have never seen it before. A new format makes the show slicker and punchier than ever before. Director Craig Wellington has assembled a cast and crew that will deliver on that promise.
The season is 8-23 May at the Theatre Royal. To book, phone 1800 650277 or book online here.
For Launceston, the season is 26-30 May at the Princess Theatre. To book for the Launceston show, phone 03 6323 3666, or book online here.
Why just go once? No two performances of Revue are ever the same, so why not go twice? You know you want to.
