Muriels Wedding Musical Reviews. 29 april 2020 at 3:34 pm. Gabriela tylesova’s costumes feel even smarter in a bigger space.
This film is a poignant and still hilarious examination of how young people, especially girls, navigate the minefields of family, friends, media, and their own dreams. But despite the droopy mouth and terrible fashion choices, viewers see muriel's unquenchable passion for life, her romantic dreams, her gutsy attempts to be someone special. Technically, muriel’s wedding the musical is excellent.
The big brash colourful tale of muriel’s wedding is brought into visual realisation by the palette of designer gabriella tylesova.
Saw the show in sydney back in 2017. Unfortunately, there’s one thing missing. The spinning chocolate box of delights includes bright queensland tropics, sumptuous wedding dresses, a gaudy chinese restaurant, and sydney’s two most famous icons with clockwork simplicity. Muriel's wedding has a lot of big and little laughs in it, but also a melancholy undercurrent, which reveals itself toward the end of the film in a series of surprises and unexpected developments.
