Blood Brothers Opening night

The opening night of Blood Brothers went really well. The crew were very slick, efficient and quiet.

We did have a laugh when Andrew gave a clear from stage left, but Gav asked for a clear from stage right, only to be told that they hadn't taken anything on. Gav was most confused, which lead him to cueing himself on projection, again guffawing could be heard.

With Sam not there, we decided not to put anyone on follow spots until the end of Act 1...what a big mistake as Ralph missed his marks for 3 consecutive lighting cues, Tall Tom came along and saved the day.

There was a strange light coming from stage right, when we went to black out, and has yet to be found. Andy fixed the sound effects and no we have a wood bonk! instead of a cash machine, although I did like the cash machine.

Its also interesting watching Dani, climb over the sty,sorry style, glad she's wearing underwear.

Overall it was good, now to work on the producer to cut that scene change with the house, and we will all be happy.

Couple of posers.

1.Will Gav cue himself again tonight?

2.Will Karly complain of being Alan's P.A. again?

3.Will we find the mystery light?

4.Will the cast be kissing and cuddling backstage again?

And finally, Blood Brothers will be done in Aberdare next October, so if we are crewing there,bring your white daps
