1st principal rehearsal last night … read through of the entire show and general discussion of characters, set, costumes (in particular, the underwear) Only a couple missing …. Suitable and acceptable excuses were furnished in advance!The dialogue is very funny … and sometimes a bit risqué ….. I wish I was in it!

First Entry

Auditions last night …. A marathon, nearly 4 hours of excellently prepared auditions and some very hard decisions. The auditioning panel, after ratification by the committee, announced the cast to the few patient auditionees and WWOS members who stayed to the bitter end. A big thankyou to our pianist Paul Showell and the readers, Louise and that well known training bra expert .. Jonathan!
The only part uncast was Michael, the son. We are asking the two members who auditioned for that part to come back next Wednesday, to sing with Nicola, who was cast as Jennifer, before we make a final decision.
The full cast list is available on the Witches web page. The rest of the parts are being worked out & will be posted as soon as they are available.
I think we have a very strong cast and now look forward to finally getting down to the floor work and watching The Witches Of Eastwick as it pulls together into the spectacular show it must be.
All principals are called to a read through next Monday at Theatre 62 (Wickham Theatre Centre) at 8 pm (all are welcome to come and listen and find out exactly what it is all about) and then another full company rehearsal on Wednesday when (hopefully) a full rehearsal schedule will be available.

Onwards & Upwards
