Written by Well, after visiting mum and dad and getting some much need real food cooked for me last Wednesday, James accompanied me to the auditions for the Blackmore Players’ next show – Aladdin!
Now, I generally get fed up with getting principle girl parts because there is no-one else to do them, but I still auditioned for the part anyway – seeing as if everything goes to plan, I won’t be able to do panto for the next few years! I also auditioned for the 2 henchmen who are generally the comedy duo. I just wanted a part in my last panto!
Despite having been in the Players for 10 years, I still got nauseous through nerves – which is ridiculous. But due to my website audition list, we had a few newbies turn up, so there was a hell of a lot of competition for parts! And that didn’t help my nerves. After getting called back in to read with Irene for the comedy duo, I was fairly confident that I wasn’t getting principle girl, but that then left me open to not getting a part at all!
So when Jean and Margaret came out to announce the parts, and stated that they had a really difficult time deciding, so some people they wanted to give parts to, they couldn’t, I was fairly convinced I hadn’t got a part!
My whinging in previous years about always playing principle girl seemed to have payed off – and I have been cast as the Abdul – the slightly more intelligent henchman! Yay!! One thing that does worry me – do I get a song? I would have done as principle girl! Oh well – I’ll probably end up with a cold over the show anyway.
Now you lot have just got to buy your tickets! If you want me to get your tickets for you, I want money up front! Go to the Blackmore Players website to find out dates and ticket prices – and the box office number!
