Thank You

Well what can I say... the show hit and everything became reality. Cyber space was put aside from the bump in until now as we became totally absorbed in the action.
Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You etc.
It was another great show but moreover a time that will have its own unique stories and memories for everyone. We will certainly try to publish those stories here. Things that worked and things that went pear shaped all figure in the picture for the Star Struck 2008 history book.
Prime example being the flying mighty mouse. For every rehearsal including the Dress I had a wonderful puppeteer run across the stage with a long stick much to everyones confusion. I kept running out of time to make the third replica of mighty mouse. Number 1 MM would 'fly' off the choir stage Number 2 MM would appear on a stck and travel from T3 to T1 where number 3 MM would come out and strutt his stuff. In the end I had several failed attempts to create this final puppet and resorted to Plan B in the last minute.... a tiny stuffed toy ( the size of a real mouse) dressed and stuck on top with gaff tape and pipe cleaners..... everyone still thought it was still just a stick but it brought a smile to my face everytime... memory.
Have you some to share?
Love your work all!

All systems are go

It is Friday afternoon and everything is gearing up for next week. The marquees are up and in place. The 1st sitzprobe is done and the second is on tomorrow. Our production manager has arrived to ensure all is ready. At the office we are still making and preparing but we know we'll make it happen over the long weekend.
The choir stand arrives tomorrow. Brilliant.

The Rain

I think its great to see the rain... Now. Last year I remember worrying that we it had been so long. We were in drought but a break must come. and it did as we all know.
Bit hard for the guys putting up the marquees but even they are happy that its now and not next week when things blow away or did last year.
When I see these go up you know how big we are.....Huge and loving it.
Tomorrow... The Choir
Brilliant that.
