Full of economic doom and gloom, mass job cuts and blundering MPs claiming back money for their eyeliner, pizzas from Asda and under-floor heating, the start to 2009 has been a bit tough. So what better way to cheer yourself up, stir those seventies senses and quite frankly get your groove on? Well come and get down on the action with Boogie Nights!!
With Deano your supersonic DJ Machine, you can be guaranteed to sing long to at least 50% of the songs throughout the performance! The dance routines will get you ‘boogieing’ in the aisles with the person sitting next to you or just on your own. The smiles will stretch for miles!! With eye-catching colours but eye-watering heights, the platforms will have you hooked, the flares will have you wistfully retuning to the 1970s and the dodgy moustaches will make you want one!!
With so many wonderful and daring costumes taking an airing, the rehearsals are proving to be quite interesting. With some of the characters having up to ten different costume changes, working out how much time they have to actually get into them is imperative!!
Sunday rehearsal provided the opportunity to sing with live music – drums, guitar, bass and the keyboard – as opposed to Gary trying to bash out a big 70s disco classic on an electric piano!! It made the atmosphere feel really alive with vibrancy and vigor!
The early stages of the set are coming along nicely too. The cast has been pretty lucky having been able to have two run-throughs on the main stage already. With the band coming in again on Thursday, there will be the chance to rehearse with live music again with mics and some of the set changes.
It’s fabulous, flare-fuelled fun and simply not to be missed. Get involved, sing along and relive the seventies!!!
