The Water Scene

Hi Folks, TRW marketing team here. We've been testing out the famous 'Water Scene' today on stage with our very brave Learning & Participation Manager Rhiannon Ellis. Check out the video, it was lots of fun.... especially if it's not your job to mop up afterwards, he he! :-)

Well, everything except the finale is set! Run of act 2 went really well. Another run with the understudies tomorrow, and a costume run in the afternoon. Exciting stuff!!

Started to stage THE famous audition scene today, featuring the title number 'Flashdance (What a Feeling)' Watch the iconic scene starring Jennifer Beals from the 1983 movie version below - I know Charlotte Radcliffe will be just as good:

First day on stage

So yesterday was our first day on stage and it looks incredible! The set is great and it isn't even finshed yet! We managed to set all of act 1 on stage and the beginning of act 2. Remember to book your tickets!!

Made a start on Act 2 today! The show is coming together so quickly and is looking fantastic :) Here are a few pics from the number 'I Love Rock n Roll':

Zahra Jones (Keisha) & James Chew (Ensemble)

Check out this interview with some of our Ensemble girls: Holly Greco, Megan Morgan & Megan Elsegood :) We always get to hear from our principles but since Flashdance is such a 'company' musical I thought it would be nice to hear something from our amazing chorus members.............ENJOY



Recorded an interview for the radio today along with Charlotte (Alex Owens) exciting stuff! :) First run of Act 1 in the morning and its starting to really look amazing, hurry and get your tickets: 01924 211 311.................

Finished setting the opening to act 1 today and have pretty much finished it. Run through of act 1 tomorrow with props and a few costumes. Should be a good rehearsal!

Staged the musical number 'Maniac' today which features almost the entire company! This is one of the songs that also featured in the 1983 movie version starring Jennifer Beals. Have a listen to the original version below which includes clips from the hit film :)

Rehearsals are going really well, and we are getting a lot done.All the man cast are amazing, as are the chorus!

            This photo from the High Art scene, at the ballet school. All the girls looking so elegant!
