Billy Elliot

.


Two nights down- two more to go. And might I just say I am loving it!! It is the best atmosphere (not to mention exercise) ever. The first night went pretty well... but in Solidarity when we climbed up the stage blocks I slipped and said 'shit'. Yeah, I was wearing a mic too- a turned on mic... But , the guy who does the sound and whom was monitoring it all didn't hear it so I'm guessing it all went OK. Most of the cast heard but the few of the audience who I questioned after didn't. All is good.Oh and when we switch hats with the miners, my mic was tangled up so I just had to pass him the mic... But oh well. Sorted that now!!

I love doing Billy Elliot, and my only regret I am having is that I keep thinking, 'Why did I never do any of the other shows?' I know I did High School Musical, but what about the other three??? I wish I had done them- even if I couldn't have done all the nights being away and everything.

Thursday went perfect. I managed to enter stage at the right time and got all my costumes sorted quickly.Only thing that went wrong was that in 'This and This' the scene before I am in a boiler's suit and I have three seconds, literally, to get out of it, when I did it last night the mic pack got caught in my boilers suit and so yanked off. Luckily Hannah was stood next to me so shoved it into my pocket whilst I clipped it back on- Life saver!!!

I just hope the next two days go smoothly and I hope R and O don't get to stressed doing all the sound and the lights.

Oh yes, that's another thing I can talk to you about.
