Below is the latest TV spot for the new production in Melbourne. At first glance, I can tell you the staging, sets, and costumes are absolutely nothing like the London production. They have really revised it quite a bit.
It will be interesting to see the reaction, because one of the comments I made when I first reviewed the production in London back in March of 2010 was that there was a lot of bare stage and the costumes were not spectacular compared to the original POTO. I'm happy to see the creative team in Melbourne has infused new life, and it will be interesting to see if these changes will impress the critics.
