Second show down, three to go! And a tribute.

Tonight' show was another triumph! There were very few costume problems, only a few of the standard rips and tears (primarily trousers and skirts) all easily fixed, using my corset training, and assisting on the same quick changes as last night and it all went off perfectly.
 
Today also marks another event, the passing of THE Fagin, Ron Moody, that so many of us grew up watching in the original musical film that made Fagin such a beloved character and lovable rogue, so Bournemouth Musical Theatre dedicated tonight's show to him.
 
It was strange being in a theatre during a heat wave, the last three years I have been on outdoor productions, in 2012 for the Olympic opening ceremony at Weymouth, the year before last it was Romeo and Juliet, and last year for Landance! It is interesting how quickly and how much the theatre heated up, and concerning for those in the cast with thick layers of costume, but thankfully with everyone keeping hydrated and being sensible about it there were no incidents.
