One Challenge Completed

Yesterday was certainly a busy day - the whole cast of the Questors version of Olympus managed to be at the Theatre on time for 10am, we set some of the show, ran a full rehearsal and ran out of time at 12 when the next group took over the Theatre, Having transferred to another room we tidied up music and choreography, and prepared to do another rehearsed run through of the show, only to find out that we had to vacate the room to allow another group to rehearse.

Despite this, we managed a very successful run of the showcase show which was very well received by the audience, and gave us further belief that we could have a really great show when we go to the Ashcroft Theatre  in two weeks time. Onwards and upwards!

The First Test of the Games

And now we head off to the RSC Showcase at the Questors Theatre in London to stage an abbreviated performance of Olympus. May the Gods be with us!

Dressed to Kill

The costumes for the production are a mixture of ones hired from History in the Making, and a number which are being made especially for Olympus. It seems that every day a new set of Handmaiden or Goddess or Elena's pupils' costumes are brought to the door by the wonderful ladies who are busy making them. The amount of effort going into this production is incredible and all the pieces of the jigsaw continue to be pieced together bit by bit. Well done to everyone who is working so hard to make this production a success

A Race Against Time

Another day gone - another few pieces of the jigsaw fall into place - the Olympus web site has been seeing in excess of 1000 hits a day - the Olympus polo shirts / hoodies / fleeces for the cast and crew have now arrived, and we now have a feature  on the home page of the Olympus web site to allow tickets for the Ashcroft Theatre to be purchased using Paypal

21 Days To Go

Life which has been manic for the past two months is becoming even more manic now. The Olympus Original Cast Album has been recorded and mixed, and now I have the mastered version - which sounds great - working on the art work for the cover at the moment. The choreography was looking excellent on Monday and tonight we are rehearsing the version to be performed in the RSC showcase on Sunday at the Questors Theatre. The band parts are progressing well, many of the costumes arrive today, we have a new Olympus promotional animation, and the set building is going well. If you've got your tickets for the show we look forward to seeing you - if you haven't got them get them now

A Successful Read Through

The initial read through of the show was well attended and seemed to be very successful - The hard work begins now

Rehearsals Start on Sunday

So at last rehearsals are about to begin - Sunday at 2pm at Royal Russell for children and 3pm for adults - where the set and costume information will be on show - and the web site has just had a major reorganisation in readiness for the sudden increase in information about the show.
