The Countdown Continues

We have now completed 4 informal music rehearsals which have proved to be very successful, and today have announced that the main cast parts have been finalised, with Neil O'Gorman taking over the part of Dimitry and James Caldwell playing Nestor.

Another date to be added to the diary is the RSC showcase at the Questors Theatre in London on 22nd April

Christmas Lights Switch On

Last night's performance at the Croydon Christmas lights went well - check out the videos on the Gallery page of the web site to see what was done...

Two New Recordings

Last night in preparation for singing at the switching on of the Christmas lights a number of the cast recorded vocals for the opening and closing songs in the show - "Faster Higher Stronger" and "Carry the Torch". Both recordings are now on the web site and able to be downloaded.

Further Progress

We seem to be making good progress. We've now finalised the band and we held very successful children's auditions and will soon be in a position to make decisions on the children's cast. On Thursday in the early evening, we shall be singing a couple of songs from Olympus at the switch on of the Christmas lights in Croydon.

Publicity Quote

Some time ago Richard Stilgoe, co-lyricist for Phantom of the Opera, and Lyricist for Starlight Express listened to songs from Olympus, and wrote back commenting on the music. I have been in contact with him again, and he is happy for us to use the quote he made, in the publicity material for the production.

"Very few people can write good tunes - Ian Rae can" - Richard Stilgoe
