....'tis the season....

Well Grease is well and truly underway. We had a less than auspicious opening on Thursday night because basically we weren't ready. Simple as that. No-one to blame and just such a darned shame as I, like many others, had friends and family come that night. Originally Grease was meant to open on this Saturday and it seems so sad that we didn't (in hindsight of course - which lets face it is always 20:20). For some reason unbeknownst to us it was decided that we could open on Thursday instead of Saturday which meant last week was CRAZY - rehearsals finishing at midnight, horrendous technical rehearsals and no break before opening night (which led to some VERY tired actors and technicians).

Still that is done now and we can only look forward. Saturday's matinee was the first time every one went "YEAH WE HAVE A SHOW" and as a result Saturday night's show was awesome! Sunday's matinee was still a blast but I think some of the cast may have over indulged a bit on Saturday night as there were quite a few sore heads (and unfortunately for a musical - sore throats) (oh and little P.S. no I was NOT one of the one's who over-inbibed :o)) still we all had last night off and we have tonight off and then back into it with shows on Tues/ Wed/ Thurs/ Fri/ Sat Matinee and then Saturday night and Sunday matinee to bring us back to next Monday - phew makes me exhausted just writing about it! (thank goodness for Nature's Sunshine Products and Super Supplements etc etc that keep me functioning - have no idea how I could cope if was not taking them!)

But hey baby THAT'S SHOWBIZ! (but honestly I NEED SOME SLEEP!!)
