This year, we are doing Oliver. Yes, the beloved tale by Dickens.
Tonight was our first rehearsal for the orchestra. I think I'm going to love it this year. I am not sure about who is playing the parts, except for the part of Fagan - who we all knew who it was certain to go to. We got at least half-way through, and hope to go through the rest of it next week.
I think I've already picked out my favourite song... the second one in the whole show.
Who could deny a little boy singing "Food! Glorious Food!"... well, not me.
Oh, I feel your excitement!!! I absolutely LOVE musical theatre, and though I've never had the chance to play in the orchestra (would love to!) I can't resist being in the cast of any community theatre production..... until now. Yep, 3 children later and I'm instead playing the part of Mamma at home while Stuart gets to go play the Lion in Wizard of Oz. :( Poor me.
ReplyDeleteStill, I get to hear all about it when he comes home from rehearsals. And it'll be my turn again next year. :) Enjoy!!! I love Oliver!
Musical theatre is so wonderful, I want to drag all my friends into it somehow. :)
ReplyDeleteI understand the need to step out of productions every now and then, but I hope you can be in a play soon! My family gets to hear about the pit all the time, so in a way, they get to be involved with the plays. I promise to enjoy myself, and Oliver is wonderful!!!
