A Tale of Two Auditions

Erm, yes, er, sorry readers. There seems to have been a little bit of a delay in getting this blog written up, I do have a life outside of you lot you know!

So, anyway, Thursday night was acting auditions. Open auditions, so much catterwalling and audience participation with comments and quite a few giggles too. Lots of Scrooges, Ghosts and Narrators, Newbies yanking people about and general rudeness (no change there then). The audience loved being book keepers and were shouted at by a number of different Scrooges, some more terrifying than others (I swear Evremonde lives again!)! What fun!

The good thing about this blog being late is that we now know who's been cast as who (or should that be whom?)so I will be able to refer to these peeps by their character names. His artistic highness will now be known as Twainy, newbies known as Dickie, Freddie and Gordie etc etc etc.... So you will have to pay attention!

Tonight we get under way and Director Scrooge has asked us to bring along our singing voices (I'm not sure we can leave them behind can we?) so we're doing the big chorus numbers that open and close the show. As my character isn't on until the second act I get to be ensemble for the first act, which I am actually looking forward to! Bring on the dancing and singing!

Perhaps Producer Himbug will get round to blogging at some point too.......
