Same Show, New Venue! Tonight it's act 2 as Ali doesn't think it's been run right through. A few blocks have been set out in the wings to demonstrate areas like the mission, the raked seating has been rolled forward, and Martin has marked out where the pared-down orchestra will be sitting. Other notes are given ...

Blogging behind the scenes. A blow-by-blow - or note-by-note - account of an amateur production of Guys and Dolls. Because it's a good show and deserves more publicity. Thursday, 29 September 2011. Revisiting what should be familiar by now. First things first - congratulations to Ali, who has become a grandma as of lunchtime today. Strangely, Sky is missing tonight's rehearsal, though he has been told he should be at tomorrow's script rehearsal. A new repetiteur is also here! The tuned oohs are proving t...

Be A Lady. Sit Down. Be A Lady. Sit Down. Be A . you get the idea. We had already been warned that tonight we would be auditioning repetiteurs and we certainly began to understand the similarity between the word 'repetiteur' and the word 'repeat'. However, on with the blog! They were so good (worryingly so! Sky di...

Dress Rehearsal with orchestra. Ali was on a scaffold when I arrived, inserting branches into a palm tree. The urn is on, the orchestra is tuning up, microphones are attached where necessary and the chocolate biscuits have been opened. A word of warning from Ali about the flats - don't trip over them and if th...

Sit Down, We're Rocking! Rehearsals started in earnest last night. It was a much prompter start than last week, being called to sit down at 7.35, and then Martin took over at the piano and made us do vocal warm-ups!
