Tommy Part 2: Achy, Tired & Seeing Double
The other half of me actually dedicating my time to TOMMY of actually being in the show, was working on the numerous amount of projections in the show.

So the last 2 months have pulled me away from working on my bike and getting it on the road, but all for good reason. However I am rethinking the “good reason” now that I have a bike in pieces and the weather is warm. We started rehearsals on The Who’s Tommy and well, life [...]

Zorba runs a marathon…
The Greeks may have invented the marathon, but it sure felt as if we were running a sprint to mount this show and raise this theatre.
Of dancing Greeks and whilring dervishes…
Below are the Publicity pictures for Blackfriars Theatre’s production of Zorba the Musical. You might remember the name Zorba if you are unfamiliar with the musical, from the movie starring Anthony Quinn. Had a load of fun with the cast whipping out these photos, despite the heat. Zorba is the first show that will be [...]
Pub time…MOMTM
This week opens our most recent show at Blackfriars Theatre, “Musical of Musicals, the Musical”. But instead of it opening at Blackfriars Theatre, we are bowing to the gracious hosts of Geva Theatre, who have allowed us to use their second stage to mount our show.
