We have finished a wide variety of numbers in Act 1 and are beginning to focus now on Act 2. In Monday and Wednesday's rehearsals the focus was on the song ‘Poor Thing.’ This is an important number in the storyline which includes dance elements. This routine included many principal and ensemble cast members such as Mrs. Lovett aka Ella Pettit, Lila Newby, Fin Law, Jacob Beverley and me.
My favourite moment from our full cast Sunday rehearsal was seeing the opening number ‘The Ballad of Sweeney Todd’ come together.
Ella and I were invited by Miss Worthington to perform at the Sweeney Todd Parents Evening, the audience's reaction to seeing snippets of the songs was incredible. I look forward to each rehearsal and enjoying every moment with the cast and crew.
