Seriously

This Australian show, “Seriously: Pet Shop Boys, Reinterpreted”, was a musical reinterpretation of songs by Pet Shop Boys. Director David Knox and music arranger Dean Lotherington collaborated on a series of storylines dealing with love, happiness, infidelity and loss, based on a number of hits from across PSB’s career. Lotherington took songs like What Have I Done To Deserve This?, Jealousy, Rent and Red Letter Day, and swapped the electronics of the originals for jazz arrangements incorporating pianos, cellos, violins and double bass. Five vocalists delivered unique renditions of the songs, guiding the stories along the themes of Monotony, Rendezvous and Confrontation. With a stunning stage design by Jeremy Smith and passionate performances from the cast, Seriously was an inventive and enthralling addition to the world of musicals.
