Performance Number 1 - the 'Primary School Matinee' - went off with a bang - literally! Ok, there might have been a little bit of smoke, perhaps a little bit of fire but it's a rumour that any of that was real - those things are just metaphors for Mr G's fiery wit!
It was a great first show which really gave the cast and crew a taste of the excitement and adrenalin which comes from seeing all their hard work come to fruition and we've still got three performances to go so it's going to be an absolute stunner by Thursday night.
There was a lot of fun back stage as props flew around the wings, costumes burst and armies of Year 6 pupils were marched around to the far-flung functioning toilets by the editor and some excellent Year 6 navigators.
And on stage, the cast dealt with the inevitable first show wobbles like professionals, sung their hearts out and delivered their lines with ease. They were joined at the beginning by a group of pupils from West Acton, singing 'Good Morning Baltimore' - what an uplifting start to what promises to be a fantastic run!
Well done to all of you on an amazing first performance - I asked our audience what they thought as they left...
'Amazing'
'Awesome'
'Wicked'
'Great fun'
Now you can't say fairer than that!
