Oh the irony...
Hello theatre luvvies,
Isn't it just too ironic that I have been too busy at rehearsals to blog about going to rehearsals... ?
Anyway its been a while since I've written but I said to myself if I don't keep this up it's going to just wither away and die..and that would be sad. We are now about 3 and a bit weeks away from our first night of JCS and the show is coming together now. I am always amazed at how it really does start to gel in the last few weeks - we are now sharpening up our dance steps and lyrics and I feel a lot more confident.
Costume is pretty sorted - 60s hippy is not too difficult to do. However, I thought I would share with you my lovely fabric painted jeans - which I decorated myself! I bought a cheap pair of jeans and some fabric paints from Hobbycraft, enlisted the help of darling artistic daughter and voila! What do you think?
I am really impressed by the performances from our leads - one thing you have to give with this show is a lot of emotion, night after night. Judging from the performances I've seen in rehearsals the audience are in for a treat - and will probably feel a bit wrung out by the end.
A little clue for those of you who don't know the show - it doesn't have a happy ending. Just saying.
One of my favourite parts at the moment is when Pilate (played by Gareth Cheeseman) gets into kicking Jesus around and the mob are yelling crucify him - it really gives me goosebumps everytime - especially when poor Jesus (Richard Foster) is whipped 39 times.
Here is Richard giving his all as Jesus in Gethsemane...
And here are some of our lovely cast waiting patiently for their entrance - ha ha
I also really love the Superstar number - I think when we have a live band with us, this is going to be awesome. There will be so much going on, on the stage, that I think it will be quite spectacular. I cannot wait until we have a proper rock guitar in there...
As a soul girl in this number ( I got promoted!) I am wearing a spangly tight dress and a blonde beehive wig - here is Wardrobe Manager Charlie Tarran modelling the wig ...I last saw this look on my mum who also had a similar hairstyle in the 60s - I know she reads this blog so she won't mind me saying!
I also want to leave you with this dilemma - whose side are you on - Team Jesus or Team Judas! I know who got my vote!
