It means having a strong personality, and being a person who is determined, and willing to take risks. A good synonym is "bold."

Re: December 2010 - Reviews - London
Ok, thanks for the explanation.
Re: December 2010 - Reviews - London
Well there you go, thanks everyone.
@ Sam: nice to see you're still with us!
@ Brad: you're one to talk, I remember you leaving a show with an esteemed American colleague to continue the festivities up the road
Re Aaron: I felt that he was always trying his heart out and wasn't ever coasting along on autopilot.
Couple of other thoughts:
** Like how Small Boy pushes off the "Her name was Lola" man and drags Dad up before Deep Into The Ground. An import from the first tour.
** Dislike the skipping in B2B. It's never right and all that time spent rehearsing it could be better put into ballet for the swan lake pas de deux. And what's Billy doing with boxing gear in his bag given he's now banned from it and ballet?
** Also continue to dislike having a high female voice in the chorus at the end of Once We Were Kings. It detracts from the masculine power of the miners as they descend and spoils the emotion for me. They don't do it in USA or previously in Aus and all the better for it.
I'll stop now. For a couple of months

As far as I can remember, the high female voice is there in "Once We Were Kings" in NY as well.

I must agree regarding B2B. No matter how many people say they like it, it will not change my mind.
