Muriel's Wedding looking foreword to the new stage version...

I can't wait to see the nasty snobby girls in the new musical version of Muriel's Wedding. I wonder how they're going to do that scene at the wedding...

There are a lot of dramas about weddings in the girl fighting group where Muriel grew up. They're all sleeping with each others boyfriends, fighting, beating one another other up. Why? Because they are jealous, aren't they. Tanya, played by Sophie Lee thinks she's above everyone else. She's the air-head, which means she's not very thoughtful. It looks like she thinks she is the queen of them all. But she doesn't really have a clue, she's dating a guy who's not that good to her, but she doesn't really realise that.

In the beginning Tanya is getting married to her surfer boyfriend 'Chook', Muriel catches the bouquet, but her "friends" won't let her keep it. They say, "you've never even had a boyfriend", its not nice to say that is it. They're all desperate for their own weddings. Muriel follows these girls on their holiday, but luckily she meets Rhonda, played by Rachael Griffiths, who says to Tanya, that she can, "stick her drink up her (beep)", because she's hanging out with Muriel. I just like Muriel catching the bouquet. Muriel and Rhonda move to Sydney and have a fun life, but she's still a bit upset, just a bit, about this Tanya. She goes to all the shops and tried on wedding dresses. Its like she wants to fit into the model life, like in a magazine. But the truth is that no one really fits in.

Its a little bit like 27 Dresses, the film about a girl who is a always planning her friend's weddings. , and then her little sister Tess falls in love with the. Jane makes a slide show about her sister's real life, that she wouldn't tell her fiance. Because she lied to him. And she cut up her mother's wedding dress to use the pattern. Because she wanted to use the dress for herself. Jane is always concentrating on other people's lives. Its a little bit similar to Muriel's Wedding because Jane doesn't fit into the mould either.

Whats the big fuss about weddings? In all the movies, like in the Bride Wars, where they compete to have the biggest wedding. I like the brides fighting they compete to see who is the best. Its a bit different to real life where it pays to be kind and wait your turn. In real life its not nice to slap your friends faces or cat fight, or betray your friends. It uncomfortable. But to concentrate on your own life and wait for the bouquet, or love thats coming to you.
