ABOUT RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET
Eons ago, before Star Trek and Star Wars, there was RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET, an ingeniously high-tech science-fiction movie that drew its basic story line from The Tempest. Return to the Forbidden Planet, Bob Carlton's musical version, which incorporates rock and rhythm-and-blues of the 1950's and 1960's, is a case of Shakespeare rattled and rolled.
The show won an Olivier award as best musical in London, in a backlash beating out "Miss Saigon. It is a febrile, hectic attempt at blending diverse modes. On stage the worlds of Shakespeare, science fiction and classic rock collide.
Musical numbers include such rock classics as Great Balls of Fire (Tempest, Cookie, Crew) Good Vibrations (Tempest, Ariel, Crew) Why Must I Be A Teenager In Love? (Miranda) All Shook Up (Prospero, Miranda, Cookie) Gloria (Crew) 5-4-3-2-1 (Crew) Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (Science Officer) Who's Sorry Now? (Ariel) Only the Lonely (Cookie, Bosun Arras) Shake, Rattle and Roll (Ariel, Cookie, Crew) The Young Ones (Captain Tempest, Miranda) and many many more!
Monash University Academy of Performing Arts will produce this show in September 2012 and will be drawing on the wide student population across its many campuses and well as interested performers from across Melbourne.
