As it is the Saturday night before Halloween there are some pretty scary
costumes on the streets of Brisbane tonight. I've seen vampires,
ghosts, ghouls and skeletons. There was even a girl wearing a tunic
splattered with blood and decorated with small Kellogg's boxes with
knives through them. She was a cereal killer. But for scare factor not
one of them came close to some things I saw my son wearing on stage
tonight in Fame's senior musical. The Nazi from The Producers singing
Der Guten Tag Hop-Clop was simply terrifying, helped not at all by his
obvious joy at such a character role. And that was in Act 1. He followed
that up in Act 2 with this most hideous brown suit with tie asunder
and fly part undone for good measure. Douglas Panch in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is the bloke who reads the words to the contestants and puts them in sentences. Let's just say neither the sentences nor Douglas really should be anywhere near children. As such it was another role Drama Teen adored. Truly terrifying. Why can't he just dress up like a pumpkin like everyone else? Well because that would be being like everyone else and where's the joy in that? Scary.
