We managed to get through a whole show last week - which means we've put "When Swing Was King" to bed already. It's a great show with loads of hits from that "Rat Pack" period, and lots of stuff I would never have thought would be in a swing show, but with some great arrangements the unusual numbers sound and look fab.
We started this week with the penultimate show that we'll be learning here in London, which is "Curtain Up!" - out musical theatre show (a little cheer goes up!). It covers the gamut of material from the 1950s classics, such as West Side Story and Guys & Dolls, and comes more up to date with the likes of Miss Saigon & Phantom.
Having a sneaky peek at some of the costume designs, there are going to be some stunning pieces in this show. Can't wait to try them on!
Thank you so much for this blog. Azura's 2nd cruise will be our 1st, very excited, and it is really interesting to read about your rehearsals and all your hard work to be ready for the launch. Looking forward to seeing the results!
