Diary of a Wicked Queen

Monday 1st November 2021

This evening was all about the dancing and singing...

Plus it was Snow White's birthday.

I explain why it is a little bit repetitive - that's panto for you!

See you next time - mwahhahahahaha...

Sunday 31st October 2021

A long rehearsal at Halloween (the kids were very unimpressed!)

It was ALL SINGING - and a tiny bit of dancing.

Not much else to report so...

See you next time - mwahhahahahaha...

Friday 29th October 2021

This evening we rehearsed an actual scene - not just a singing number!

Of course we did a few singing numbers too (obvs)

The end of the third week - and stuff is coming together :)

Not much else to report so...

See you next time - mwahhahahahaha...

Wednesday 27th October 2021

Another short and sharp rehearsal this evening - the final song (again!) with the whole company.

Little things:

I've got a cold coming...

I'm tired...

And I just can't get this routine in my head!

Not much else to report so...

See you next time - mwahhahahahaha...

Sunday 24th October 2021

A short and sharp rehearsal this afternoon - the final song with the whole company.

This was a rehearsal with the choreographer, learning the dance routine for the final number.

Just one hour long!

Not much else to report so...

See you next time - mwahhahahahaha...

Thursday 21st October 2021

A short but fun rehearsal today - finishing off the rest of Act 1.

That means we're nearly 2 weeks into rehearsals and halfway through blocking the whole pantomime - an exciting moment.

Not much else to report so...

See you next time - mwahhahahahaha...

Tuesday 19th October 2021

Today I found out there's a photo shoot for the Snow White poster on Friday.

Which means full costume and looking Queenly on camera.

But - we don't even know what she's meant to look like...

What about the crown, wig, make-up?

Today wasn't a great day for this queen!

See you next time - mwahhahahahaha...

Monday 18th October 2021

Today we discover the real fairytale of Snow White...

... and exactly how dark the Brothers Grimm could get.

Find out the fate of the original Wicked Queen.

See you next time - mwahhahahahaha...

Friday October 16th 2021

In today's rehearsal:

I worry about losing my voice

We touch on the unique way of acting for pantomime

And I think about my boots (I'm obsessed with those boots!)

See you next time - mwahhahahahaha...

Thursday October 14th 2021

In today's rehearsal:

We blocked out a couple of songs - and the scenes either side of them

I realise I need to be more evil

And I set myself some homework to help!

See you next time - mwahhahahahaha...
