Passive audience

Holiday spirit was lacking; the audience before the show and during interval was bovine in passivity; there were much fewer darts, no haka party, and no interval entertainment. The interval show has been an integral part of the Extrav. tradition for many years; it is a pity that over the last two years it has been allowed to lapse.

Of the eight Extravs we have seen, none gave greater promise than "The Seven Year Switch." Rumour has it that Bill Sheat is already writing the next show. Such talent as we nave in Sylvienne, Rosemary, Dennis, Ted, Ron, Ross, Tony, Derek and especially Ted Shroeder, should not be wasted.

This year's show was good, very good; what it could be next year is foreshadowed by the "Bewitched" number, the two Teds' songs, Sylvienne and Rosemary's dances, Dennis' and Ross' sparring match, and Derek and Tony's cross-chat. No one at Vic. should have missed this show.
