OMG how did that happen - its show week! We are now at Wednesday having done two successful nights already. And the great news is that for the rest of the week we are SOLD OUT!
So far the highlights for me have been:
1. Setting up Camp Urinal as the ladies are in the men's dressing room this year and we're at the Urinal end. Camp Urinal is a special place where tea is served in the interval - and its very magic tea. It makes you sing better and gives you a warm glow.
Not everyone gets into Camp Urinal though - if you want to come join the fun you have to bring biscuits and we don't allow men either!! By the way I am not really smoking...I had to put that in for beloved daughter's sake.
2. Smoking the wrong end of my cigarette last night in first scene until Tom told me...wondered why there was no smoke coming out....thanks Tom.
3. Dressing up as a Soul girl every night - oh the joy of the spanx pants and the diva glitter - I love it!
4. Getting ready in the dressing room every night with the girls and feeling the adrenaline every night as I hear the opening bars of the overture.
5. My costume is sooooo comfortable this year - I can wear jeans and converse!! And be a hippy every night!
6. The battle of the dressing room selfies...bring it on boys...!!! We're going to beat you for LIKES for sure..
7. Wearing THIS every night...
8.General mucking about...
9. The fun in the bar afterwards with my theatre family....
10. Wearing massive fake eyelashes!!!
More blogs to come this week I hope - my family and friends are in tonight for first time so no pressure there then..no-one tomorrow and work on Friday with the rest of my family on Saturday night. I think Sunday is going to be a massive come down but I am living and LOVING every minute at the moment. This is why I do it!
Amen!!! xx
