Wasn't it nice to be back at WTC .....
The kids are working hard & getting alot done and the adults ... turned up again.!
Although the story, action and dialogue maybe a little naff, the Music, as we are all experiencing, is a bit tricky and very good. The variety of songs (solos & concerted number) is vast and all audiences tastes should be met. We all have to do a bit of homework to learn the words & harmonies because it is not a well known show, like Annie, and because of that it is important it is done well.
Next week, apart from the usual bit of revision, we will be setting a new company scene so PLEASE do a bit of swotting up at home between now & then ... thank you.
Tickets are limping off the shelf ... but the new Churchill season brochure goes out at the beginning of March, so hopefully the public awareness will give the tickets a kick start. WE HAVE TO SELL THIS SHOW!!!
Bye for now

GRACEful rehearsal!

Thanks .... we got the GRACEful number finished, fitting in the missing bods (and coping with others going missing!)
The Orphans are working (and Talking) hard ... and will, once again, outshine the adults if we're not careful!
Rehearsal schedule has been given out ... if you need one, let me know (I can email you a copy if you are desparate!) simarly, if you want a cd of the music, let me know!
COSTUMES ... Men, please find yourselves a 1930s suit again (if you want to know the style, speak to Eileen or Lucy ... or look at what Adrian wears!) and Ladies, we will be looking for you to possibly find a 1930s dress .... (Must be Blue ..patterned or plain... start looking) All uniforms will be hired, but if we can find other bits ourselves it does save alot of money!
KEEP SELLING THEM THERE TICKETS
And, see you next week back at Th 62 (WTC) Horrah!

Oops .... New Blog (at last)

Back on course again!
Good rehearsal last night, for both the kids and grown-ups!
As with Annie, there will be an overlap between the Adults & girls rehearsals so to set the bits with us all in.
We set most of the GRACEful number last night .... it will be interesting next week fitting the missing few in. We will finish it next week and also look at the opening number which we set 3/4 weeks back (when Stephen was plastering!)
Start thinking about and arranging those block bookings and generally selling this show .... we still have to sell about 5000 tickets.
Thanks & see you next week at WWMC once again at 8!
