Not The End

Well, Kipps is over, it was a truly fantastic show, and such a good experience to be in. I've had mixed feelings about it before, but now it's over, I'm so so grateful that Rosie (director) decided to put me in it.

As always happens I feeling very... odd at the moment. Going from happy to sad moment to moment. It was an amazing experience even with all the ups and downs, and I'm very sad that it's over. That, I feel, is one of the problems with amateur theatre, such short runs, months of rehearsing and it's over almost as soon as it truly begins. We did 8 shows over two weeks, as to be expected, there were better ones and worse, but on the whole it was amazing, we got incredible feedback, including from one lovely lady who saw the original in the west end with Tommy Steele, who said it was just as good as that version.

Our cast and crew were awesome, some of which you can see from the picture above. We all put so much of ourselves into this show, and our little found family is closer than ever for it.

On Thursday, I'll be starting on rehearsals for Bonnie and Clyde, which will certainly be an interesting experience, my first show outside of the SAC. I'm both nervous and excited, and if I'm honest a little bit stressed. I've also been asked to be a part of a musical fundraiser evening for Bonnie and Clyde that a few of the cast are putting together. I've been given a few solo numbers (including the first solo of the show) some named parts in group numbers, and of course the ensemble numbers. Somehow I'm even more excited for this than the show itself at the moment, maybe as it will give me a bit more of a chance to show myself at my best. But still, I'm sure both will be great experiences and I can't wait to meet new likeminded people and make more connections in the industry.

So I come to the end of this short chapter of my life and get ready for the next, it's certainly been a ride with huge highs and lows, but it's been worth every single second.

The song of the moment is Not The End, by The So Manys. It does feel a but like the end of an era, but I'm more than ready to tackle the next with everything I have.

Bye for now,

Love, Adam XxX
