The Rocky Horror Diary Part 2

So I have been run after this week to write a new blog.
Here it is.... The Rocky Horror Diary Part 2

Well between Sunday and Tuesday the English guys were here and rehearsing away into the parts. I must admit, I am now really getting into the part and really starting to enjoy the lines and the whole spirit of the show, even despite the fact that I thought I would never do this kind of stuff on stage. The rehearsal on Sunday started at 11am which was a singing rehearsal and Alex and I went over our 'loive song' called "damn It Janet' which is proving to be real fun!! We then went home for lunch and that is where my day got its 'odd' streak.

My mother decided to make a traditional Sunday roast. I don;t often have dinner or lunch with my parents because I am out all the time, so my mum went all out (as she always does, but it looks more flamboyant when you see all the big dishes being served rather than everything ready on a plate to be heated in the microwave). I got to the table to find spinach soop... which was good...then my mum went back to the oven to bring out the roast. When she cut it, it seemed to be terribly undercooked, when it had been in the oven for more than the time she budgeted for the perfect Sunday lunch! She was distraught. She looked at my Dad like it was somehow his fault, but I know she was just looking for some support. She probably wanted to stamp her feet, which I am sure she did once I left the table. That meant that for lunch I had a plate of soup and a banana, to my mother's utter disapproval!

I then went back to rehearsals and Andy (the Musical Director) was there again to bang us with some notes! Must admit...chorus is sounding rather cool! A chorus full of Wah Wah Wah's and Oooooooh's and sliding notes, rock and roll and loads of fun!

The whole cast got to see ROCKY played by Roger Rowley - a very cool guy from the UK with a stunningly high voice...as the part requires! Matthew Simpson, who is playing Rocky arrived safe and sound. We were slightly worried they would keep him in customs because he was bringing two laser guns with him which we need for the show, and although they are a toy, they still could have stopped him. So as soon as he walked inot the room, everyone was relieved!

The next day was a long rehearsal too... we started with blocking some scenes with Frankenfurter and then went on to do some more singing. WE HAD SUCH A LAUGH blocking the scenes like you wouldn't believe it! It is just such a fun show to rehearse and perform and since the English blokes are only here for a short while, we need to get things right immediately! Those of you who know the Rocky Horror know that there are two very intimate scenes between Frank, Brad and Janet. I won't illustrate further but you will expect to see surprises!
It is going to be just a bag of fun.

Obviously after rehearsals, we all went out for a drink with Matthew, Roger and Andy for drinks at this club/bar/strange place called Checkers in Sliema. Suprisingly, on a Sunday night, there were a considerable amount of people dancing and drinking.. i was shocked... I mean, we are in Malta... you are supposed to go to Church and rest on Sunday!! One of the cast members, Georgina, decided to smoke in the club and nearly got arrested. I was stunned, shocked and clutched my pearls! Later that evening, Alex was picked up by a stranger and drove off in a Citroen. For privacy and secrecy's sake, I shall not go into more detail as to the happenings of Alex. We drank another beer (well they did... I don;t drink beer!) and went straight home.
