Momentum building with two weeks to go

Ok - the daily blog has again suffered from not quite being, er, daily - but I've been kept really busy - honest guv !

Three rehearsals since the last blog, Friday night - Sunday and last night - when for the first time the show really came alive. The energy was fantastic and we whizzed through the whole show.

It was the first time in ages we had a virtually full company with the holiday season now at an end - and it was great to see everyone.

Two weeks tonight it's opening night and we will run the show again on Friday, Sunday, Monday and next Friday before our arrival at the theatre on October 8th - so still a few chances to work on the outstanding areas and making last minute improvements.

We're a lot clearer now about the set and the size of it - and in particular a certain plant - all bound to give our stage manager Rachel plenty of sleepless nights as we countdown to opening night.

We're still on the search for stage crew - so please get in touch if you can help or know of anyone - help on Sunday 8th would be much appreciated.

Richard is making good headway with his lighting plans and we have also been in touch with our sound men Steve and Richard this week as discussions turn to radio mics and sound effects.

Julia and the cast are continuing to work hard on costumes - and Bob is standing by to produce our programme which is much appreciated.

Musically is it sounding great - Nicola and her team are combining really well and late on Sunday afternoon the full band of four played through the whole show.

There's one man we need to keep REALLY BUSY at the moment - that's our box office manager Tony. If you haven't booked your ticket yet - now is the time - CLICK on BOX OFFICE on this site for Tony's number - he's standing by !!
