"Cinderella" Rehearsals 14th October 2011
Today we were auditioning one guy for either the Prince, Cousin Henry or Dandini. It was good but it's up to the director so we just have to wait. After this we rehearsed some of the crucial scenes for the pantomime. It felt funny to do them after we'd been rehearsing so long for our promotional event at the beginning of the month. Some of us (who've had the script longer than I have) carried their scripts instead of letting our director prompt them if necessary. By this Friday we have to have our lines learnt word perfect. This sometimes would be a challenge for me, but surprisingly I have no problems (for now).
We now have to up our game because we have to learn all the songs and the dance routines with 10 weeks to go to the show. I just hope we find our Male Lead and our lines are learnt otherwise the plug might be pulled.
If anyone wants to take part and can Act, Dance and Sing please let me know. Auditions will take place this Friday 6pm.
See you all tomorrow.

The last chaotic week of September & Show Day
So continuing on with the show preparations, things got tough. People stopping and starting and changing their minds on what backing track they want to use, Saying that I should of had all tracks completed ages ago and more. I'm wondering if those in the company who have said these things know's more about how many hands and brains I have than me??? Someone in the group wanted to change their backing track 5 days before the show. Everyone knew I had Uni work on, Committee work (for the company) on, and not enough time to change things around again. On the day before the show, two people in the company started arguing with our director and our director walked out really annoyed. It was over the fact that we (as a company) weren't smiling or flowing with the music. But as any amateur or professional knows when you perform in a shopping centre you aren't always going to have an audience placed in front of you. There are going to be times where people will walk straight past you and not care. I think we were merely preparing everyone for a public reaction.
I know that I wasn't doing anything wrong. I was even late home and got in trouble with my mum because I was supposed to be home at 8:30pm for our Bad Taste Party for Macmillan Cancer Charity.
At times in this group I feel prejudiced.......
Anyway to the day of the show. It was ok, with a few technical hitches, and some songs went a bit wrong. But everyone pulled off a great performance. A new light was seen in some of the company members who at first appeared shy (when they first came into the company), and have now blossomed.
And we all said "That's Showbiz Kid". (not really but I had to put a happy ending on...)

Rehearsals for the 1st October w/c 30th September - 1st October 2011
30th September - 1st October 2011
We had rehearsals 3 times in the week beginning the 30th September. This was at our director's house. Not everyone could be there due to length of travel, allergies to cats and in some cases no excuse at all. But hey ho, we all have our showbiz "I can't be there due to....." moments at some point in our lives. (Laughs). Things never stopped being stressful this week, but I never seemed to want to burst the cork on the champagne. All I heard was "I can only sing it in this key, if you could find the track for me", "It goes like this, not this", "Can you get this track for me?". I know I'm the technician for the show, but I wish that people in the company would have a bit of integrity and respect towards me. I am not a super human. I am just human, and things take a while. We rehearsed the groups mostly and a few solo's (but not mine, we didn't get around to them until the last day of rehearsals in this week, and besides I wasn't ready to show them yet..)
Later on in the week I rehearsed my 2 solo's which were Rihanna's "Unfaithful" and Duffy's "Warwick Avenue". From a singing aspect my performance was great (with a little pitch issue) but it lacked an actresses performance. So in order to get me there my directors are going to help me.
Part 2 on it's way......

Rehearsals for the 1st October
15th September 2011- 23rd September 2011
During this time, I ended up running around trying to get backing tracks and sorting out the set list with the director. This proved to take ages as not everyone had decided what songs they were singing as solos. And some of the tracks I picked with the soloists ended up being the wrong ones and they ended up stressing me out. I almost blew a fuse. I dislike it when people other than the directors tell me how to do my job. I know what to do, and I sometimes feel smothered. Its showbiz and I have to let it flow over my head. Words of advice from my director.

1st official Rehearsal of songs for our promotional event on 1st October
Wednesday 14th September 2011
After yesterday I was tired, stressed, annoyed, and just frustrated more than I had ever been in my life. It took roughly 2 cups of tea and 2 coffees to wake me up today. I had never drunken so much caffeine at all. I went back to my director’s house for rehearsals. In the time we had, I was getting all the backing tracks in the order they should appear in, making sure I had all the correct tracks by going through them with my director, and working on the group songs that I sing a part of. It was a great rehearsal with challenges that made me feel angry. But I realised that the challenges shouldn’t get to me, but that I should be strong and courageous. So hopefully I will be back to my normal self tomorrow. I am praying I will be my normal self tomorrow.
