Next fortnight's schedule

[unfeathered]

I'm going to be about a bit less for the next couple of weeks. This is my schedule so you know when you can expect to find me at least answering emails, if not on LJ.

Saturday 6th - Dancing am, out with friend pm, short dancing show evening
Sunday 7th - Anything Goes rehearsal 10 am to 6 pm
Monday 8th - Anything Goes rehearsal 7.30 to 10 pm
Tuesday 9th - Nothing!
Wednesday 10th - Work pm, Anything Goes rehearsal 7.30 to 10 pm
Thursday 11th - Work all day
Friday 12th - Probably day off work, Anything Goes rehearsal 7.30 to 10 pm (at least - it's the technical rehearsal so could go on forever!)

Saturday 13th - Dancing am, then Andy's off to a Dream Theater gig in London and is staying overnight
Sunday 14th - Anything Goes rehearsal 10 am to 6 pm
Monday 15th - Anything Goes SHOW 7.30 to 10 pm!!!!

Saturday 20th - Dancing am, Anything Goes SHOW 7.30 to 10 pm

Sunday 21st - collapse!

So, show week, I'll probably be around more in the daytime, as I've got the week off work, and quite possibly late at night as I wind down from the show. But next week is going to be busy!

good god girl, don't forget to breathe! *phew* i'm tired just reading that!

It's going to be so much fun, though. I'm really, really looking forward to it! :-)

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Wow, good luck! And more importantly, have fun!

[unfeathered]

Thanks - I will! Acting is just like writing: the moment you step out onto the stage, you're someone else, somewhere else. And if you're singing or moving/dancing, even better, because you get the physical stuff - endorphins or whatever - too.

And when you get to the actual show, with costumes and lights and audience... I seriously can't wait. It's been 2 1/2 years since I last did a proper show. I don't know how I did it.

P.S. Love your icon. Haven't seen/noticed that one before.

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yes, I know the feeling! I haven't acted in a few years, but at GCSE I wrote and co-starred in three plays. It was awesome. Being on stage is the most terrifying, the most fantastic thing in the world.

Anyways, I'm sure you'll be awesome. What's the show about?

(And I only just found this icon sotred away on my computer... it's rather shiny, isn't it)

Anyways, I'm sure you'll be awesome.

I'm only in the chorus anyway, which makes it harder to muck up - though I did get an indirect compliment from the director's husband (who's also in the show) the other day saying that the director said I'm the only member of the chorus who really acts and shows lots of life all the time... which made me feel really good! :-)

What's the show about?

It's a musical, by Cole Porter, set in the 1930s, in which John Barrowman has starred twice - which gives me a lovely excuse to listen to him singing on the way to and from rehearsals. Songs you may be familiar with: Anything Goes (obviously), De-Lovely, Blow Gabriel Blow, You're The Top, I Get No Kick From Champagne...

(And I only just found this icon sotred away on my computer... it's rather shiny, isn't it)

It's gorgeous. I may have to nick it, if that's OK? I've been thinking I need a Ten/Jack icon.

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of those songs... sorry! I like musicals, but I don't actually know that many. Or, you know, any besides the obviously ones that everyone in the world can sing songs from. It sounds good, though. Especially if Barrowman has been in it!

That's a really awesome compliment! Maybe if you audition for that director in future, they'll remember you.

As for the icon, there's this version too:

Both by svendra. Can't decide which I like best. Nick away!

[unfeathered]

Ah well... It is a good show. It's a very silly plot, but it's fun, and the music's great!

(Loads of tickets left, if you want to come and see it... *g*)

As for the icon... Damn. They're both gorgeous. How to choose?

I'm going to have to think about that for a bit.

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Loads of tickets left, if you want to come and see it...

That's tempting, actually. I've been meaning to get out to the theatre more. Whereabouts is it?

[unfeathered]

Well, it's a bit of a trek from Kent, though we could give you the use of a sofa if you wanted to stop for the night...

Info here, plus more info about the show on the Members' Page.

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Hm, yus, it's a bit far. It was worth asking though, in case you were closer.

[unfeathered]

Yeah, well, I don't know which side of Kent you are...

We're doing Godspell next and Jadesfire's thinking of coming to that one, though, so maybe we could have a little meet-up! :-)

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a good idea!

[unfeathered]

Cool! I'll remind you both nearer the time, then *g*

After much deliberation (i.e. staring at the pictures), I've decided on this one.

I love the way Jack looks in the close-up, but somehow the cropping makes me focus too much on Jack - I like the equality of the two of them in the first one. And DT's neck, which I've never really noticed before, but it just looks lovely in that picture!

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Mm, yes, I think that's really why I went for this one too. I'm trying to work out where it's a screencap from... can't just go and re-watch the episodes, sadly. But whatever it is, I'm amazed it hasn't been iconed more. It's a nice little moment of eye-contact between the two of them.

[unfeathered]

Yeah, it's a beautiful moment - pretty much their whole relationship in a picture - the Doctor leading but turning back to include Jack, and the two of them 'confering' (with or without words, I don't know, but they confer a lot without words).

I think it must be Utopia - in the corridors of the silo. Near the beginning, because they still have their coats on. I'm due a rewatch of those three eps soon, for research, so I'll look out for it.
