Day 3 of rehearsals & Maurice is back in the Green Room

Well the M25 beat us for a while yesterday and meant we had a late start.

All of Widow Twankey's costumes arrived with about 12 different head dresses, which are spectacular creations, real show stoppers and will certainly raise a few laughs.


Yesterday was about stagger! Stagger is when we go through a scene, not expecting it to be right because its still very much a work in progress and a long way off being ready for the opening performance.


So we had a stagger run through Act Two with just the actors in the main rehearsal room. Later today we will stagger again but place the children and senior dancers into the scenes.


The Citrus Brothers are bringing so much energy and comedy into the rehearsals, and everyday they show us a new trick.


Widow Twankey's Big Pants have been made but I need to keep quiet about this as there will be photos and the winners names announced on the website:


But for now we need to find a moment in the show where the great dame can display the Big Pants!


This afternoon, I ran the scene with Aladdin (Jonathan Eio) and Princess Jasmine (Kelle Bryan) and for the first time I heard them sing - it was thrilling, two voices in perfect harmony.
