‘Goodbye Christopher Robin’

‘Goodbye Christopher Robin’ marks Sam’s first audition on his own.  He did an audition with Ollie last year for the film ‘Deep Water’ and they got down to the last nine children but didn’t get the part.  A trip up to London, Notting Hill for a few minutes audition followed.  A quick play in the park and trip into some very posh shops, book ended the whole experience alongside a five hour drive back from London!  However, Sam took this all in his stride and seemed un phased by the whole experience which is more than can be said for me – I was a hot, sweaty mess driving into busy London!  Good experience for us all and Sam loved the chocolate!

Sam has now been recalled to read through the script with the casting director and the film director Simon Curtis, so it’s another trip up to London.  He’s worked hard at learning the script – I love how serious and focussed he is.

Good luck Sam!

School of Rock Audition

‘Be bad until you’re good and good until you’re great. I hope you find something that you are enthusiastic about and you will go at it at full speed, embrace it’ Roald Dahl.  

This is what the last few days have been all about ….work, work, practise, practise, resilience, resilience.  Ollie working on it!

Let us study in detail as to how it should cialis super active be taken and it what quantity. When released by the body, female viagra india some pheromones have the power to attract members of the opposite sex. If you have consumed appropriate dosage, you should find it easier for getting a stiffer cialis 20 mg penile erection. This process of the degeneration of tissue (wear viagra no prescription http://respitecaresa.org/viagra-7400 and tear) and the build up of garbage (pathological hyperplasia) and excessive breakdown of normal tissue replacing the damaged area of your skin, you will be left with a scar.

So the self tape was done – rather speedily – but it worked and Ollie went up for the first round of the School of Rock auditions.  He spent three days working super hard on learning to play a rock piece on the piano and then didn’t get to play it as they asked him to sing and play a classical piece.  However he took it in good humour and he’s now been recalled for a further audition in July and so fingers crossed for that.  As we always say though, it’s all about gaining experience from the audition and if you get any further then that is a huge bonus!  Best of luck Ollie – we couldn’t be more proud of you!  xxx

Holiday!!

Ok……so I’ve packed a bag, am about to board a plane and off I go! Three nights away in Palma with the girly tribe.  Do you know, it’s taken me fourteen years to leave all my boys at home and go away? I feel kind of liberated, as I board a plane solo….. But also, if I’m honest, I have a slight anxiety knot in my stomach at being away from them- actually let’s rephrase that to ‘chest constricting angst’ (urgh! Being a mummy is such a ‘buzzkill’)….But I know it’s good for all of us and I’m sure it’s nothing a midday mojito won’t fix. Right? I’m looking forward to the opportunity to be alone, have girly fun, sleep (for the first time in forever), moving from one location to another without a head check, buckling just my own seat belt and not having a handbag full of tissue, snacks and toys; but I will truly miss them all because no matter how much fun I am having away from them all, I know that I subconsciously breathe my children and Jez and I couldn’t be happier with that. Jez I love you and I know you will take good care of our boys…. Please make sure they don’t just eat rubbish all weekend….and if they do, please make sure they clean their teeth!  Thank you, thank you, thank you xxxx

…and surprise, surprise….I had a very wonderful time and so did Jez and the boys and my Mum and Dad.  Amazing.. but not really at all!

Choir of the Year 2016

Choir of the Year 2016 – Sunday 17th April  New Forest Children’s Choir

The Lord Bless You & Keep You / Tomorrow / The Wreck

Big congrats to Sam and Ollie for getting up so early today, and to Hil for doing the same and being the moral support all the way to Basingstoke for the heats of a big competition. Excited to say that their choir – the ‘New Forest Children’s Choir’ made it through to the next round of the BBC Children’s Choir of the Year – very exciting and well deserved. This video was recorded by one of the parents in the audience, amazing to think that most of them are still in primary school.

 Adjudicators feedback – Stephen Connolly

 “I’m of the firm opinion that if a group of singers in the space of 8 minutes can make you laugh, smile and bring a tear to your eye – then they’re doing something right – YOU are doing something right!!! Because I had a tear, I had a smile, I had a bit of a laugh actually and there’s something very beautiful about the way you present yourselves.  You look fantastic by the way, but there’s something very special about the way you produce your sound and I think it’s probably down to that lady there!!  Your vowels are beautiful and they take me back to an era of singing that I grew up with, which is the sound of King’s College, Cambridge and David Willcocks, back in the 1960’s and your sound is beautiful!  You could hear a pin drop back here. It’s a special sound. You can hear people appreciating this at a gut level – WOW! FANTASTIC!

 You have lovely part singing – all the technical bits to your singing are well in hand and I thought you had a fantastic programme – from the sublime to the ridiculous! As it’s just been said, choosing a programme for a competition is very difficult, usually it’s the stuff you’re working on or you know. You’ve obviously thought really hard about this and each piece really took us on a journey and the whole performance was a fantastic journey!

I felt privileged to be here – to hear you!

 FANTASTIC – WELL DONE!”

Party Time!

….and every good show has an after show party involving much coke and fruit cocktails, over excitement in the form of dancing, singing and trying to show off to the girls.  Very lovely though to be able to still be part of their celebrating – give it another year and Ollie won’t want me around at all.  He even gave me a shout out (in his New York accent) thanking me for being a brilliant Mum.  Hey?….maybe I am getting it right sometimes!

‘You give a little love and it all comes back to you’ Bugsy Malone

What amazing experience for Ollie and Sam but also for all of us.  I’ve loved chaperoning and getting glimpses of them both backstage and Harry and Archie were beside themselves with excitement going to watch on the Saturday night dressed as gangsters.  To be honest, our whole family and many of our lovely friends have embraced this whole Bugsy experience and I am so delighted that this has taken up our half term.  How brilliant!

So photos of showtime and also some of the official photos.  Many happy memories have been made over the last week for us all.   xxx

‘It may be the toughest, most relentless and under paid job I have had and will ever do, but WOW! what an amazing gift it is to be Mummy to these boys’  Very proud of them both always but even more so this week when once again they surprise me with what they can do.

Bugsy Malone

Review Date: Friday 19th February 2016

Organisation:Swish Of The Curtain Theatre School

Venue: Bournemouth Pavilion

Wow!  Swish of the Curtain have certainly lived up to their excellent reputation with this fabulous production of Bugsy Malone currently showing at Bournemouth Pavilion.

The stage show still closely resembles Alan Parker’s brilliant film of 40 years ago, although unlike the original cast who mimed to adults singing, these young people have to use their own voices.  The story is simple.  Bugsy Malone, a boxing promoter, meets Blousey and their on/off romance is set against a gangland war, where the performers are all children and the weapons are custard pies and splurge guns.  The director, Tina Witham, has brought it up to date with wonderful staging, clever effects and a particularly ingenious way of reducing the “death” toll.   All credit must go to her for managing so many, many children over several performances, with some double casting and the younger cast being divided into Dimes, Nickels and Dollars – we saw the Dimes last night and I can only guess that the other two companies will be just as good as they were.

The cast is stellar.  Many of the children could be considered veteran performers, professionals really – having taken roles in major films and touring stage productions – and at times it is hard to remember that this is a local amateur show, the standard is so high.  Oliver Payne plays Bugsy and is a delight, confident and talented, he holds the musical together and, at only 11, already has an impressive resume.  I am sure he will succeed in his desire to be an actor.  It has to be said that nearly all the children have put the same for “future ambition” in the lavish programme, apart from one or two.  Max Sheppard, however, wishes to “invent and live in a new plane of reality/dimension.”  Max played Fizzy and not only has a stunning voice, but also that rare quality which forces you to watch him when on stage – he dances beautifully too and “Tomorrow” was a real showstopper.

Ella Whettingsteel was a delightful Blousey, working well with Bugsy and holding her own against the feisty Talullah, played with panache by Maisie Wignall.  The two gang leaders were brilliantly performed by Tom Stalley as Dandy Dan and (a comedian in the making) Dominic Wells as Fat Sam.  Fat Sam’s gang were mostly older boys and their antics were a joy to watch – “Bad Guys” was certainly one of the show’s many highlights.  The gang was played by Lewis Edgar, James Feilden (Knuckles), Ollie Gooch (Ritzy), Harvey Walsh (Angelo), Jack Ambrose (Louis), Arthur Janes (Snake Eyes) and Thomas Holmes (Roxy Robinson).  Dandy Dan had a slightly younger gang who probably had more fun since they did most of the splurging – Bradley Spanjar (Benny Lee), Danny Lingwood (Bronx Charlie), Elliott Grimmer (Yonkers) Elliot Slee (Doodle), Lewis Valler (Laughing Boy) and Thomas Doust (Shoulders) – all were excellent cameos.  There were other roles worthy of a mention, notably a suitably over the top Lena (played by Mollie Lloyd), a wonderfully bumbling Leroy (Ollie Gooch), a gutsy Louella (Evie Talbot) and a brilliant Cagey Sam (Jack Whettingsteel) – all roles having few lines, but well performed none the less.

There were many delightful moments (Polly Wolly Doodle was probably the most adorable) in this fabulous show and it would be hard for me to find anything to criticise, although there did seem to be a lot of unison singing and the few harmonies heard needed a bit more work.  I seem to recall a lot more custard pies in other productions I’ve seen and can only assume costume restrictions were responsible.

The set design by Chris Witham and Richard Rafter was amazing and all credit to the brilliant lighting from James Perrett too.  Choreography was excellent throughout thanks to Caroline Barnes and Musical Director Jonathan Prentice did a fabulous job, not just with the young cast, but the orchestra too.

This is a wonderful family show that will be enjoyed by adult and child alike.  Don’t miss the opportunity for tonight’s performance at 19.30 or tomorrow’s matinee at 14.00.  You will love it!

Bugsy Backstage February 2016

FullSizeRender FullSizeRender

Oh the fun they are having!  Ollie is so enjoying every moment of his ‘Bugsy’ experience and Sam has big wide eyes and flushed cheeks as he too takes in all the fun of being back stage and on stage – what an amazing experience for them both.

Ollie is super relaxed – laughing and messing around back stage, right up to the moment when he steps out onto stage where he transforms effortlessly into ‘Bugsy’.  He doesn’t seem to be nervous at all and just thrives on performing and I have never seen him happier – a twinkle in his eye and just full of energy.  But equally, there is no edge to him – he is not showy – he is just superbly relaxed and self confident – a joy to watch!

There is so much for Sam to see and take in – he only gets to do two performances and has a lot of waiting around in between his moments – so there is a big build up for him to deliver his lines.  He does them superbly – clear and focussed, just like he has been taught. It has been great to see him interacting with is friends and being on stage with Ollie – a truly special moment and Sam is Ollie’s biggest supporter and Ollie is Sam’s.
Furthermore, be prepared to discuss a budget for your case: While it will be hard for consumption. http://djpaulkom.tv/music-bobby-shmurda-hot-boy-dj-paul-k-o-m-edm-remix/ cialis online pharmacy It will also check the expanding and contracting issue of arteries of male gentile and help in easing the path for find out for more viagra pills price high rate of blood circulation responsibility undertaken by this drug.

So here are some photos of he backstage fun – lots of selfies, sweets and splurge!
