It’s been an exciting week with Sophie making her professional theatre debut as Jemima in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
We saw her first show last Saturday and were absolutely blown away by the whole production which was incredibly clever and so creatively staged. Sophie performed beautifully and made us all very proud. It was a magical evening and we loved every moment of the show.
Sophie’s dance teachers and one of her dance friends also came to see her first show. Her director from panto was in the audience for her second show and hadn’t realised Sophie was in the show so I had a lovely text message from him expressing his surprise and complimenting Sophie on her performance.
This week has also seen the start of two new shows for me with the first rehearsal for Into the Woods and the launch night for Doctor Dolittle. Into the Woods is with an am-dram group that I’ve not performed with before, so I’ll be making my debut performance with them in the autumn. The launch for Doctor Dolittle saw the debut appearance of the amazing animal puppets that have been made for the show. It’s going to be a busy summer and autumn for us with shows but will be a lot of fun too!
