Hello, OWALW is coming along quite nicely, we have been cast, and I have a song to sing, all on my own! Called "Hitchy Koo" not much else is happening!

OWALW:

Monday's rehersal was O.K. we started reading a couple of scenes, one famous in history, where the English (Tommy's) and German (Jerry's) ceased being enemies for 1 night, at Christmas in the trenches.

The we done a scene with "Mrs Pankhurst" and a scene with Nurses, and Nick, the director asked me to read!

A good, rehersal, cut short by a small party for W's 50th which was nice :)

Monday 16th June 2008

Not so much to report today, went through the songs again.. it's hard to learn without the dots, and they're not the most "hummable" tunes ever written!

Rehearsal was good, sang through the songs in OWALW then they auditioned for the M.C. and Haig, and the girls done an "audition" which was just a bit of fun, trying to enlist the troops!

Next week we will doing the music again

Ho hum, well Evita has finished (for me at least, all the proper cast & crew have a good 12 months left!) It was fantastic, a great learning experience, I'm honored to say I've been a part of it, thank you to everyone. The cast & crew for being so accomodating and friendly (wishing them all the best for Edingburgh, and will be going to see them in Manc-land) and my fellow supers for making the time in the dressing room unforgetable!

Alas, back to normal for me, and into WW1!

I will (be trying my best to) blog after every rehearsal for Oh What a Lovely War, like what was attempted with Seussical.

So much has happened since last year!

We've had highs and lows and are still going strong!

Lows:
Very bad audition resulting in no getting a solo in the R&H concert
Having to give up LIPA

Highs:
The R&H concert!
Getting a part in EVITA national tour as a super, still in the middle of a 2 week run (which is why I had to give up LIPA)

Next show is "Oh What a Lovely war" I will be keeping a full blog for this!
