New musical based on Craigslist ads captures human longing - The Globe and Mail:
"We’ve all read them: those Craigslist ads so good (or bad) you just have to pass the URL on to a couple of friends, before resuming your search for a couch/babysitter/love.
Or turning them into a musical.
Next week, as part of Vancouver’s PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, veteran CBC broadcaster Bill Richardson and local singer/songwriter Veda Hille premiere Do You Want What I Have Got? A Craigslist Cantata, made up largely of verbatim ads Richardson has found while trolling Craigslist."
We went to see this with Richard and Emily last night...hilarious! A definite recommend if you're in Vancouver. I can see this becoming a great hit all over the world and deserves to. The cast was wonderful. Now, the last time I made a prediction like that was when Jim and I heard Placido Domingo in The Flying Dutchman for a last minute student rate of a dollar in the 60's before he became famous. Heh....I was right about that!
