Tonight we had the first preview performance of The Secret Garden and it went fantastically well!
Before the performance in the evening, we had a dress rehearsal on stage. This was really important for the actors and the technical staff because they wanted to make sure that everything was running smoothly. It was important that we checked that all the lights were working and most importantly, that the cues we had arranged were in the right places! Once the dress rehearsal was completed, all involved felt very confident that we were able to deliver a great performance that evening… And we did!
The actors were very excited about performing to an audience for the first time and despite all the nerves (!), they did a great job. The children in the audience were sitting on the edge of their seats throughout the whole performance – and lots of them were copying the dancing moves that happen in the songs.
We were all very happy that we got brilliant feedback from people of all ages (Mum’s and Dad’s included!) – and we are looking forward to the really long run ahead of us… Until 23rd January 2010!!
