The show has been correctly identified as
Shakespeare’s forgotten space musical masterpiece!
Well done Ashley.
Keep an eye out for the call to audition.
Here are the rest of the clues would you have got it from them all?
Clue number 2
Your second clue.
Remember the first to give Mr Wright the correct title wins.
You can ask Mrs Moir and Mr Rowand, but they have very good poker faces. (Is that a clue? Is there even a Lady Gaga musical? I can think of a million reasons we should do it if it existed (did you see what I did there? ;-D ))
Your first clue is…
A very fetching pair of roller boots, what could it be?
Remember the first person to tell Mr Wright the correct title of the next show will win a small prize.
Goodbye Legally Blonde, Hello?…
Well it’s a huge and sad goodbye to Legally Blonde, usually when we come to the end of a show run, we have been so immersed in it that we can’t wait to see the back of it, however this one has been so much fun that the soundtrack is still high up in my spotify ‘heavy rotation’ though the top spot has now been taken by something else…
Yes that means we have had our discussions and deliberations and have made a choice and secured a licence for our 2019 show.
Watch this space and the school show noticeboard for clues to the next show. The first person to tell Mr Wright the correct title will win a small prize.

Act 2
I’m excited for Legally Blonde
We’re now well into the holidays and I’m just beginning to feel a little relaxed. So my attention has turned to planning the details of our next show.
A really useful resource for me has been this YouTube video which is a karaoke version of the whole show.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjkscx9Osmw&t=948s?rel=0
For this show the singing tells the whole story and it’s really important that all the words can be heard clearly.
If you’re ever feeling a little bored over the coming five weeks, just fire up YouTube and sing along.

Also please do take us up on the offer of a chat if you want to know what to do to get even better in future auditions.
Casting Call
Auditions are in June.
Book your slot, now!
The lists are outside S8.
Remember we make no decisions until we have seen all auditions so if you are going to be busy with the P7 visits or with any trips try to book in the first week. If you are not involved in either of these please book a slot towards the end.
If you find that there are absolutely no times that suit you because of other school commitments all is not lost please speak with Mrs Moir, Mr Wright, or Mr Rowand.
Remember to have a look at the character descriptions to help you decide who you want to audition for, and to help you interpret the character in the audition piece.
Photo Call
Reminder that the school show photo will be taken in the assembly hall period 2 today. All cast and crew please.
The show has been correctly identified! :-)
Congratulations to Katie. The first person to see me with a correct guess.
