How To Succeed

So “How To Succeed In Business Without Realy Trying” is over. It’s been over for a while but I’ve only really just started catching up on everything that got left during show week.

It was a really good show. I’m a little surprised it doesn’t get produced more often as it’s a fun show, a little dated maybe but that doesn’t stop it being funny. It was my first time lighting a musical, especially in a venue as big as the New Theatre Royal, but it all went really well. I was stressed and worried on the Sunday night as I’d reached the point where everything was rigged and it was too late to change so if I couldn’t sort out any problems during plotting I was stuffed. Fortunately with a bit of work on the Monday it all looked quite good by the end of the Dress Rehearsal. I was actually quite proud of it in the end.

Anyhow. Now that the show is over I haven’t got any plans to design anything else for the rest of the year. I know I’m not lighting the HumDrum summer musical next year, although I did offer to help out backstage elsewhere (it was at the after-show party so whether anyone will remember….). I’m planning to use the spare time to fit a kitchen.
