We Are The Champions (Oh Yes We Are!!!!)

Well where do i start with last night rehearsal!! It was AMAZING! The gang are doing us all proud, and themselves of course.

We started the evening running through the closing number "We go together" bit rusty but most people had remembered the dance so well done, then we moved onto the opening number " Be Our Guest" which was half done and mostly remembered. Then Dance Queen 2 promptly finished the dance off, which is simple but very effective!! Well done.

Whilst all this dancing was going on, i was running in and out of different rooms, Miss MD was in Room 2 (who i might add had also spent 3 hours at A + E that day) doing some of the solo singing, i went in and listened to the solo singing for Be Our Guest, Wow is all i can say, the girl who is singing the song was in our last production "Dick Whittington" (Me and Miss MD were in it as well but more another time on that!). She has come on in leaps and bounds, during Panto she would not have said boo to a goose and was so quiet when she sang i thought she was miming at one point!!! I stood there and listened with amazement, So this young lady will be called " Little Voice" for the purpose of the blog.

Also in the room was a young man who for this we will call "Luminere" the french accent was spot on and he had learn't his words also, plus a really powerful voice that will shine in the "we will rock you" segue of the show. Really well done mate, a lot more to come from you i think.

Throughout the evening we had Wardrobe Mistress pulling people out to try costumes on and then handing them to "Wardrobe Assistant" with the alterations needed, must point out at this stage as well that "Wardrobe Assistant" is actually my better half, and as with many couples at CAST that is where we met!!! Also pulling people out was Dance Queen 1 to do "A whole new world" with "Tommy the Cat" and "Chelsea Boy" which is now finished woo hoo, so a really busy night really.

After all of this we even had chance at the end to start "We Are The Champions" singing there hearts out they were (So were all the adults as well... We are queen lovers!!!! Ask Wardrobe Mistress). This song will be led by "Luminere" and "Scarf Man" as he always has one on!! They will do a grand job of it and then the whole company come in and blow the roof off, i am loving this show at the moment and i think the kids are also.

Thank you to everyone involved so far on and off the stage, i know when this show goes on it will be fantastic and you have all helped create this, so on that note i shall bid farewell and just say keep it up and see you next week.

Thought of the Day:

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
We are the champions
Of the world. (Oh yes we are!!!!)
