Well maybe there is a god. Expecting a very low turn out after the advance ticket sales report, we find that both evening shows have doubled in ticket sales. Wow!! How did that happen? Do we care? Probably not. The result is that we have 4 shows with 4 good audiences. And oh how things can change so soon. We get a call from our friend Debbie in Aberdeen to tell us that her mother had passed away. Debbie is one of the world's great helpers and does anything to help anyone she can. On occasions when major things have gone wrong here and she has jumped on a flight, no questions asked, and arrived to do what she can. It is only right that we pay her the same privelege, and so Marie jumps in the car to go and help in Aberdeen. This means Ruby comes back into the show for two days. And we thought we wouldnt see her for a while. The afternoon shows are held in the Studio Theatre, which is a great source of amusement for the cast. Tiny stage, cramped wings, but fun!! Jamie has a mental block in the 60's section and forgets his words. Once in 40 shows isnt a bad record and we have all done it from time to time. So just one more show and the tour is over. Then what? We know we lose Alex our dance captain. After 3 and a half years, she is going to be missed so badly. Obviously we will keep in touch and Im sure we can tempt her with any reasonable offer of a trip to India etc. Next Saturday, Burton on Trent. Private function, and then a rest.
