Barnum Rehearsals

I always hate it when you read a blog that hasn’t posted for a while and some lame excuse comes out as to why there has been the gap, such as their cat has died and they have had to go through the grieving process. (Actually Eunice’s cat did die just after Christmas, but I didn’t really like it so I have not spent any time grieving.) Naturally I have been far too busy with Barnum rehearsals to think up lame excuses for not posting.

Sunday was a typical example. Spent the afternoon rehearsing with the rest of the cast. It is an extremely demanding show physically, because there is all the circus stuff to do as well as the normal routines of a musical show. You have to keep your wits about you with plate spinning, juggling, unicycling, stilt walking, etc, going on all over the place. That includes throwing bricks at the end of the Museum song. (Can I just say at this point that I may come over all ‘theatrical’ if people keep dropping bricks. It’s not hard. Just practice catching the bloody bricks.)

Things are going well though, and it should be a cracking show. Of course you won’t find out unless you go, so all the details of tickets for the event are here. Remember last year, several of you never came to Titanic and it turned out to be an absolute smash for the Company. Barnum the musical will be the same, don’t miss out this time.
