Nice couple of dress rehearsals ..... the set looks good, the company look good, Annie & the Orphans will steal the show!
Heads up now, vocal chords on MAXIMUM (& preferably in tune), left & right feet at the ready (& spare one in cupboard). brains in gear and AWAY WE GO!
Good luck to all and thank you for you hard work - to - date!

Lee's back! or was that Scott?

Another good run!
Time is tightening up ... 1 hr 5 min 1st Act & 1 hr 7 min 2nd Act .... we can still shave a bit off that.
Needless to say, Annie & the kids will steel the show ... although there are some other great Duster Winning performances building!
Friday is the final run before The Churchill, could everybody please make a mental note on Friday of Costume changes & props needed so it doesn't come as a complete surprise on Monday!!
Wasn't it nice to see Lee last night ... better late than never!

THE END (clap, hand out!)

Few bits sorted out last night, plus the final bit of Choreography.
A few words still seem to be eluding some members of the company, I’m sure they’ll be there on the night!
Tickets, Tickets, Tickets!
See you all on Wednesday (8pm start with Grace team) & Friday (8pm start with Oliver team)
DON’T BE LATE!

Thanks

Last Push

Saturday in The Glades went Marvelously ... a big thanks to Ian on the Piano, Philip for his piano & invaluable help, Gabby, Shannon & all the orphans for their performances and all the other supporters who turned up & gave out about 5000 handbills!
Sundays run was a bit limp! Everybody seemed like they were just going through the motions .... we all need a bit more energy (and words!)
Full company with Annies (no orphans) tonight .... Be there or be talked about! you have been warned!

ps ... I'm learning my lines!

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! (whistle)

Got lots of bits done last night, with the company & the orphans …. Plus the highly complicated Station Scene, in which there are a few Duster Winning performances!
SO….. Publicity drive this Saturday in the Glades … (Please turn up at some point & support the girls!)….. Orphans rehearsal Sunday Morning, Run show Sunday afternoon, the Full rehearsals Monday, Wednesday & Friday next week …. No apologies so far!!!
The ticket situation is not good, but we have a bit of Publicity & paid ads going out next week, and we must all keep trying & keep our fingers crossed. IT IS A GOOD FUN SHOW ….

Ps Tracy … stop talking!

2 weeks to go!

2 weeks from tonight will be our final dress rehearsal ..... it's getting close.
Sunday's jog through was encouraging ..... it will be a good show.
The ticket situation is still bad ... particularly Thursday Eve performance. If anyone knows any association we can offload a group booking on at a low price PLEASE contact me now!

See ya Wednesday

THE END!

We've set everything now ........ even the Who's Bests at the end ........ now comes the polishing!
It's all looking good BUT EVERYBODY ... that's every member of the company, needs to do 3 things:-
1 Turn up to ALL remaining rehearsals (no more illnesses or part time plastering!)
2 Learn lyrics to songs & all dialogue (there are still plenty of goldfish on stage!!)
3 SELL TICKETS!
Thanks ... onward & upward ... it will be a very good show!
See ya next week
