Hi Everyone!
So at long last I have got around to writing a blog post about the production of the Wizard of Oz that I was in during June! I also have a few things to tell you all about from the past week or so swell so be prepared for a long ass blog post!
So I'll start with recent news! Last week I went to summer school at Newcastle College for Musical Theatre! It was soooo good! We were doing a number from Seussical the Musical, Oh the thinks you can think, and I got the part of Jojo/Boy on the first day which I couldn't believe! I just want to take a moment to say to the people who said I would never get principle roles, you can get in the bin now. Anyway, back to college, so I met most of my class and all of my teachers. Everyone seems so nice and I'm so excited to start my training in September! It will take me a while to get used to not being at school with that group of friends and having to start all over again but hopefully I will settle in quick!
I am also doing really well in dance and after 5 weeks of starting proper classes, I am doing my modern dance exam this Sunday and I am pretty nervous as I would say dancing isn't my strong point but I will do anything to improve it!
This Saturday I am also going to Pride in Newcastle with my friend Holly from Wizard and I have never been so it should be really good!
Right so here is the bit on the Wizard of Oz!
Wizard is probably my favourite show that I have ever done and I have had the most fun doing it! The cast and creative team are the best bunch of people that I have had the pleasure to work with! Even though I only had 2 weeks of rehearsals, I felt like I had been doing it from the beginning! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly and they restored my love for performing on stage and have so many knock downs. It was at the Royalty Theatre Sunderland and we had 8 shows!
Here are some photos, I won't put them all on because there are LOADS! but here goes! I'll include their name and role!

These guys are seriously the best and I miss doing Wizard so much! But hopefully our paths will cross in the future!
Today I actually went back to school! It was so weird going in and not being in uniform and needing a visitors badge. I went in for a good catch up with my tutor and it was so lovely, but it made me realise how much I am actually going to miss the social side of school and certain people!
I am due to go on holiday on Monday but I might blog before then and maybe on holiday but I will keep you posted!
