Day 1 of rehearsals & Maurice is in the Green Room

The venue's doors open and a wave of talent comes flooding into the rehearsal rooms. Actors, singers, musicians, dancers, jugglers and fire eaters all arrive ready to go!
Stuart Dunlop, the Venue Manager, and his team meet and greet us and make us feel welcome. We now know who to go for help on making a mijito, anything to do with steam and where to get the best cakes from!
On stage, the set is going up and will look spectacular.
Watersmeet is really buzzing with excitement and there's action everywhere. Dancers are working with our choreographer Louise Travis and singers are tucked away in another room going through their numbers.
And I've been in the main rehearsal room with our very talented cast, going through lines and starting to shape the story of Aladdin and bring it to life in true pantomime style.
In a few days times, the three rehearsal rooms will become one as we start to piece the scenes togther and once we've done this we'll take to the stage and see if we can make Aladdin's carpet fly!
