Opening night of GREASE - The Drag Show, was on last night! (That of course explains why I've been so quiet online for the last 2 weeks!)
It was so much fun, but so nerve wrecking as well, for me to be playing the major role of Sandy for my first production show at the Imperial Hotel.
Cleo Coupe, the new boss of Thursday nights, created a clever, 2 Act show. It took many hours of preparation to have it on by Opening Night, and we all have taken time off work and lost many hours of sleep to get the show onstage, but it's been well worth it. Cleo has done an amazing job creating, directing and producing this show! Well done honey!
We did run a little late for the shows, which would be expected on an Opening Night, but we were delayed due to the fact some of our costumes were actually fitted and made in-between Act 1 and Act 2!!!
Minus the make-do set of backup dancer costumes for "Beauty School Drop-Out", the show looked great, and we performed it well. The audience response was amazing, so I know when we settle into the show, the audience will like what they see even more!
I am pretty tough on myself, and for this show there is no exception. I would like to play around a little more to get the right mix of character and campness - that will come with some more practice, on and off stage. Feedback on how I've played Sandy has been great, but I know I can do better - so come along and see the development!
I'm working on getting the poster for the show into a digital format so that I can post it on here.. Hope to get it ASAP...
I'm off to the Easter Show with my boyfriend today to have a bit of fun.. It's such a perfect day to be outside..
Have a great Good Friday!
