"Go Greased Lightning..." Well, you know the rest.

Hey to the reader,

I've had the most amazing past few weeks. My school production of Grease began it's full domination of life at some point in the half term, with three days of non stop rehearsing. Saying that, it's been one of the funnest productions I've ever been in. The cast and crew gelled amazingly well, and a total sell out of tickets (a first for our school), along with top notch professionallism ensured that the show was totally awesome.

As mentioned before, I had two parts. A place in the ensemble, and the character of Teen Angel. As I have not been in many musicals before, this performance has stretched me in more ways than one, improving my ability to learn and master dances, and also honing my singing. Although these skills have yet to be perfected, I know that Grease has helped me to a certain level. And to that, I owe great thanks to both Ms.Doan (music teacher) and Ms.Shepherd (the best drama teacher in the world) for all the encouragement and support they gave me.
Grease taking over my life means I've had copious amounts of homework, but it has been worth it.

Here are some pics from the awesome show: The first two are of me in costume. Ensemble first, and then Teen Angel.
Here we have the T-Birds, along with Eugene. They're only as crazy as they look after too many drinks.


These are just two bits of awesome costume, Cha - Cha's dress was all hand made, and the fuschia skirt just looks wicked.

This is how close the cast was. (Seriously, this
happened every few seconds).
And sometimes, the fatigue was just too much.

The last two are of the cool backdrop being painted, and three of my closest friends from the cast.

Another good thing about Grease, it has made time fly so fast, I have barely noticed November. Due to this, the Wii release seems ever closer. Expect a review of the awesome console soon after I get it.
My snapshot report came in from school today, and that was all good. Everything in my life is pretty much great at the moment, and that's just the way I like it.

Best wishes to you all,
