Behind The Scenes : Cinderella by Eleanor While, Assistant Director
The actors were given the opportunity to explore the theatre for one day of rehearsals this week. There is an extra challenge and excitement for them with this set as there is a ladder and a slide pole for them to use to travel around the space.
The company have also been working on the final song for the show which is all about fitting in and things that go together. For example…Daddy and Mum, chewing and gum, beans and toast, Pat and post. Maybe you could have a go at making up your own lyrics by thinking of some of your favourite things that go together?!

Behind The Scenes : Cinderella, by Eleanor While, Assistant Director
We’re having to make something out of nothing
‘Cos nothing is the only thing we’ve got.
You can’t do much with a little bit of something,
But when it comes to nothing we’ve got an awful lot of zero and nowt,
But we can still dress up pretend to go out!.......
And to hear the rest of the song you’ll have to come and watch the show and maybe you could sing along.

Behind the Scenes : Cinderella by Eleanor While, Assistant Director
The fabulous songs that will be part of the show are accompanied by so many instruments that I have lost count. Maybe that could be a challenge for anyone coming to see the show!... Can you keep track of how many instruments are played? And of course, if there is music, there has to be dancing. Cinderella loves to dance so Sophie McSheera, the actress playing Cinderella , is practicing her Waltzing and Ceroc every day.

Behind The Scenes by Assistant Director Lisa Blair : The Secret Garden
We rehearsed during the daytime, continuing to adjust and fix various technical aspects, be that lighting or sound and musical notes too. It is such a valuable activity to do during the preview week because this Friday, it is ‘technical lockdown’. This means we won’t be able to change any technical aspects after this date… A scary thing to do!!
Tonight was a very special evening. We had our community network come and see the show which is an event that is really important to WYP. The feedback from the audience was really positive; with many joining in on the songs and getting really involved with the story.
