Shane Warne: The Musical is a musical comedy based on the life of Australian cricketer Shane Warne. First performed at the Athenaeum Theatre in Melbourne on 10 December 2008, the musical was written by Eddie Perfect and directed by Neil Armfield. The Daily Telegraph described the musical as "a warts-and-all account of the spin bowler's controversy-laden career and roller-coaster personal life set to soul, rock, opera, gospel music – and even a bit of Bollywood." While initially suspicious of the project, Warne later gave his approval after watching the show, saying "I think Eddie and his team have written the musical in a respectful and sympathetic way, and that they have captured my fun, larrikin side."〔 The musical has been able to draw an audience that would not normally attend musicals with Perfect saying "You see young blokes making their way to their seats carrying armfuls of beers for their mates, just like they do at the cricket. It's like Reformation theatre when people were buying oranges to throw at the actors – why shouldn’t they have fun." ==Plot== The musical consists of two acts: the first act covering Warne's aborted Australian rules football career, his marriage and his rise to success as a Test cricketer while the controversial issues that Warne was involved in; such as his drug offence, infidelity and the John the bookmaker controversy feature in the second act. The musical finishes with a chorus "Everyone's a little bit like Shane". The musical contains a series of songs about various incidents in Warne's life both on and off the cricket field, including: *"The Tale Of Warne"; *"Run"; *"Get Offa The Couch"; *"How do you spell success? AIS"; *"We're Going There"; *"Piss It All Away"; *"Hollywood"; *"The Ball"; *"Payin' Attention Now"; *"Dancing with the Stars"; *"We Never Cross The Line"; *"The Away Game"; *"Is The Sun The Moon?"; *"I'm Coming Home"; *"Shine Like Shane"; *"What About That, Shane?"; *"The Ashes"; *"Bunny in the headlights" (about Daryll Cullinan); and *"What an SMS I’m in". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shane Warne: The Musical」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
