Weekend at the West End Pre-production Post

Well here we go, the eve before BLT youth perform the first of their 2 shows W@W. Dress rehearsal last night went very well with one or 2 small issues but resolved on the night. This really does promise to be a great show. I have to say well done to Ros and Sally for getting this together. There have been some very fraught moments over the last few weeks with the dates looming ever closer and the 'to do' list growing ever longer!! Sally has worked tremendously hard in choreographing the dances. Many a night have I been banned from the kitchen while dance routines are put together. Libby has ably assisted Sally during this time.
A huge thanks to Nye for putting together the lighting for this show. A good few midnight candles have been burned. However the effects will enhance the show without doubt.  Also our new member Ian Palmer who visited the theatre on our open day offering his services. Bet Ian didn’t realise just what he was letting himself in for.
Irene Livingstone has been a tremendous help in rehearsing all the soloists (yes including me)! Fay has been a real whiz on getting all the tracks together and cutting some of them to within an inch of their lives.
There is an army of people involved in this production and I would just like to say thank you on behalf of Ros, you know who you are.
I hope that people who look and hopefully read this will have an understanding of what is needed to get a show of this magnitude together.
I am in no doubt that those who have booked tickets will be thoroughly entertained from beginning to end. There are a few odd seats left so if you don’t want to miss out please get in touch before it is TOO LATE.
Cheers..
