The Secret Garden has been a truly exciting rehearsal process! I feel very lucky to have worked on this brand new British musical at West Yorkshire Playhouse. It has definitely been the highlight of my year!
Rehearsals have been going really well. The actors work fantastically as an ensemble and they all share in telling the story of The Secret Garden. It is a brilliant book and the playwright, Garry Lyons and the composer, Tim Sutton, have brought it to life.
I am sure that when people have seen the musical, they won't be able to help but sing lots of songs they have heard! I definitely have a few favourites. I think people should watch out for 'Little Laura' - the skipping song and 'Cabbages'. They are definately my favourites!
We have been rehearsing for approximately four weeks now - and we will go into 'tech week' on Monday 23rd November 2009. During 'tech week' we will be making sure that all the 'blocking' (entrances and exits and where actors stand on stage) we have done in rehersals works well on the actual set.
We will also be creating the lighting for the show and adding the sound effects. This week involves alot of hard work from everyone involved. Not many people will be getting much sleep next week!
I really hope that everyone enjoys this magical show as much as I have enjoyed working on it!
