Preparing for the show

It’s always somewhere between exciting and petrifying when the show starts to get closer and this year is no different. It’s exciting because the show really starts to come together. And that’s definitely true this year as Ian has already mostly constructed the set. We can stand on the stands, or whatever they are officially called. We can practise carrying on our boxes, guns and racks so that we get a better idea of the space that we need and how long it’s going to take to manage things. That means that the show will be even better – right from the first night! So if I were you I’d be getting online and booking my seat just as soon as I possibly could. Since over half of our seats had sold out for the Saturday matinee before the year began, it’s great to know that tickets are already selling fast. Who knows we may be in the situation we were in with the King and I, where we had to turn people away from the shows as there were no tickets left and we couldn’t get any more seats into the theatre hall. Seriously – book soon to avoid disappointment.
As well as all the excitement of a show that’s starting to come together so well, it’s also kind of petrifying! There are only about four weeks left to the show and that means only four Sunday rehearsals left to get everything in place and make sure that we are as slick as possible with our lines, positions, dances, songs and characters. It’s not easy at all.
But when you are sitting there, watching the set come together, the interplay between the characters and the effort that every member of our cast puts into making the whole show come to life for you. You know that it’s going to be worthwhile We’re looking forward to putting on a fabulous show for you. And we’re sure that you’re looking forward to coming along to enjoy it.
