December 2012 - Mother Goose - The Show Must Go On


The shows are going so well. Even though I have been full of the cold and struggling, I have powered through and literally sweated it out! 

Yep I am a sweaty person, at least I know when I have been working hard! The lights and costumes make it worse at times! Not much I can do about that though!

Update....  people are ill so am I trying everything to get better, steaming my face all the time and drinking honey and lemon. I like doing things the natural way. Plenty rest is the key!
I wonder how many tights I’ll go through so far I have replaced one pair of stage tights.
Wigs are annoying, especially when dancing and in a quick change when you are sweating, a lot!

I think the stress of quick changes adds to the thrill of live theatre, I make it a game too, who can get dressed quickest without putting on things backwards, inside out or on their head, or in my experience punching them selves in the face putting a glove on literally just before walking on stage, yep I was not sure whether I had sweat pouring down my face or if it was a bleeding nose!

It is a great feeling after every show when we have a little extra time to get ready for curtain call enjoy the songs and reflect on the show! Then congratulate everyone and thanks them!
