TUESDAY was another line learning day for me. Due to a change in our schedule, I didn't actually do anything physically until the babes arrived. I did however, gets lots of work done and... Get to have my costume fitting.
Whether you're an avid theatrical or a '9 to 5' type of person who despises anything that's not judged by Simon Cowell or doesn't contain overly tanned dewdrops from Essex... You cannot - I challenge you - look at the costumes designed by Jamie Attle without your jaw dropping! They are amazing! Made to measure, by hand and with the utmost pride and passion. And it's visible on stage. The costumes for Aladdin last year were so vibrant and eye catching, I couldn't help walk onto stage without a sense of pride... God help anyone who marked marked my worker!
[NB: A worker is the technical name given to the performers 'main costume' seen throughout most of the show.]
And audiences will be pleased to hear this year is no different. I have a brilliant blue worker, my bell boy costume (seen in the press photos) along with a cute blue waistcoat and flowing white shirt!! It's very traditional. I loved it!! Then for my 'Walkdown' I have another jazzy number.... But I don't won't to reveal too much about that, save the surprise! Jamie's also got a couple of joke costumes for me to wear at certain points in the show... So hopefully they will get a titter!
I was very kindly released from rehearsals early Tuesday! so that I could get up to the London Palladium in time to see Dame Edna Everage!! If you're a fan.... Do go and see it!!
Right... I have all the glamour of a tepid bath waiting for me, so for now, toodles!
