What a cabaret!

After three shows over the weekend with hardly a spare seat in the house I think that it's safe, and fair, to say that we gave a cracking performance which our audiences enjoyed. We had 180 seats available for presale, with only single figures remaining for the Friday evening and Saturday matinee performances and people queueing at the door for extra seats on the Saturday evening. Altogether back to our usual standards (and numbers) for our shows.
It was certainly a different experience performing on a stage that largely consisted of holes boarded over with planks around the back and white plaster dust coating every surface. And white dust certainly didn't go down well with our black costumes! Oops.
It was great to see the review that was posted on line very quickly by Belper people - you can find it on their website and I will add the weblink as soon as I can!
Mark did a great job of welcoming people to the show each time and his gold hard hat added a real touch of glamour to the building site. It was then a lovely touch for different company members to announce the numbers as we went through, starting with my introduction of Cabaret, Hey There, Every tear a mother cries and The Impossible Dream. If you'd like me to put the whole programme of numbers on here please add a comment and I'll pop it on.
If you came along to the show, please let us know what you enjoyed and how much fun you had - we may use all the nice things you say in our future publicity! And if you think that there's something we could do to improve, then please let us know that too.
Remember that Honk! the musical from our Junior group is running the weekend of the 25th/26th November. It would be lovely to pack out every show for them as well - they deserve the support.
For all those who came, once again a big thank you from everyone at Belper Musical Theatre. We all love to sing and perform and we're so glad that you came to join us.
