“This is your five minute call…”

No More Chances

The rehearsal period of around thirteen or so weeks has drawn to a close tonight as we ran our final dress rehearsal. It wasn’t too bad all things considered. I’ve rehearsed shows in better and worse conditions at this point. I didn’t have any prop issues tonight, remembering everything I was supposed to. Lines were better, with only very minor flubs (I don’t expect this to be the norm, unfortunately).

Tonight we firstly had a camera man from a local news show come and film a few numbers and then interview both Jessica and myself. I’ll try to grab some of that if they play it tomorrow night. We also had the photographers come and snap all the way through our run which is always a wonderful memory of the show.

I did at one point tell Koby that I wanted to return to the orchestra pit after this, or do a show playing not a leading character. I find it is extremely exhausting, but no doubt will pay off in front of an audience. That said, I’m now attached to FIVE (yes FIVE) proposed projects as Musical Director for next year. It’s entirely possible that none will happen (particularly as the group are producing fewer shows next year due to theatre renovations) but there is a good chance one will see the light of day and that will give me something to do.

Now it’s time to sleep before uni in a matter of hours and squeeze in as much of everything else that I can. This is good busy.
