good run inish

Good run - ish last night ... alot of work on words still needed, but well done for those of the cast who have made a huge effort at this stage with 4 weeks to go.

To echo one of the Comments to the last blog, the Orphans are going to be Fab, the dancing is looking marvelous and the singing sounding great.

Tickets are a big worry at the moment .... the Society alone are about 400 tickets down on the last show at this stage ..... please make an effort now to sell as many tickets as you can. We can offer, the group discounts, if needed to secure booking is. There are special school rates available, which we can offer for most performances. Please contact me or John to obtain further details.

Please note the selling points of the show.

Firstly, it is a new show, and we are presenting the London Premier.

Secondly, it is the sequel to one of the most famous musicals of all time-Annie.

Thirdly, as it is a family musical, and we are performing it in half term week, there are 3 matinee performances available on the Thursday Friday and Saturday at 2:30 p.m.

Fourthly, the music is wonderful, there are some great new songs and dances in the show.

Finally, the kids are great and worth the price of the ticket alone.

Please try and sell as many tickets as possible.
The rehearsal of this Wednesday is back at the Methodist Church. See you there.

Looking good. Kids & adults, although alot of words & music still has to be committed to memory!

PLUS ... tickets need to be sold. The matinees are going slowly but surely .... but the evenings are looking very sparse ... it needs a kick NOW.

The Final Countdown!

Back from short hols, completely tired & Chilled out (NOT)

Good Orphans rehearsal Sunday afternoon, still a few missing on Easter Hols ...... but with 5 weeks to go, we now have to get going and finish the show.

The set has now been finalised, with a couple of extra"bits" coming from Scenic Projects, including the Statton Island Ferry (looking very like a bit of The Titanic!)

It's going to look great .....

Keep selling the tickets ... if you know of any publication or website that could use a press release please email me & I'll send you one ( kevin.gauntlett@thackraywilliams.com ) We must get the message out there that this show is being performed. Posters can now go up ... Sell, Publicise & Sell NOW please!

See you all on Wednesday back at The Methodist Church

Only 10 each a week! (see below)

Good rehearsal last night. Numbers better .... still no Lee, Scott or Phillip .... I live in hope!

All looking Cheesey & good. Alot of words need learning and moves co-ordinating ... apart from that ... OK

We are now working from the Yellow rehearsal schedule (unless you are an orphan, who have a pink version) ... please transfer the rehearsal info to your diaries, calenders and memories ....

7 weeks to go, about 4000 tickets to sell, which works out about 600 per week, divided by the 60 odd cast (including orphans) is about 10 each per week .... GO FOR IT!

Thanks ....

Kevin xx (a bit calmer this week)
