Just Look How Far I Have Come...

Well, I was a little shocked to see that it had in fact been almost a week since I last updated *Shocking* and even worse, I am now trying to remember what I did with my days...

Saw "The Kings Speech" a few times, brilliant film, if you've not seen it I advise you do. Also finally got to see "Burlesque". Well as lovely and entertaining as the film was, it wasn't really a proper portrayal to the world of Burlesque, or what you do. I can see girls watching and thinking 'you know what, I'd like to do that'. Girls, it involves stripteases, not show however in the film! Check it out before you make choices.

Saw Brendan Cole live, "Live and Unjudged" amazing and talented guy - again, if you can get tickets do. A show definitely not to be missed.

Highlight of the week, probably today. Went to London, two auditions. One I was apparently too thin for, well I shan't complain although I was ever so slightly miffed. First time I am apparently thin in my life and it means I can't get a role I wanted. Other, I was offered the role but it is only three weeks in May this year, goodness knows what I'll be doing in four months time... but now is the time that I have to make the choice, I think I will sleep on it first.

After met up with lil sis and went to see Legally Blonde the Musical. Not my first time, as I am sure you are all aware, but it was for her, and am pleased to say seeing the 'new cast' led by Susan McFadden as the Delta Nu sweetheart Elle Woods, having taken over from "2 Pints" star Sheridan Smith it was refreshing to see a different take on the character, just a let down that the audience appeared to only wake up at curtain call.

Stars of the show for me today had to be Suzie McLean who plays Enid Hoops and Jane McMurtrie who is usually seen in the backgrounds as a Swing, but is also the dance captain and I think there are only two female roles I haven't seen her cover, but today was on as Exercise and Fitness Queen Brooke Windham.

It was lovely to once again meet cast after the show, and speaking to Jane I think my quote of the day had to be:

"There has to be something feisty about her for them to believe she is possibly able to kill her husband. Its all about there being something in the eyes."

She may not play Brooke full time, and was covering for Tamara Wall, who this week started filming with the cast of EastEnders, but she sure shows her depth of knowledge into each and every character she's come up against to play. Between Tamara, Suzie and Jane they could probably do a 'Three Woman Show' of it and still get it done perfectly!

While it was lovely to see older faces there, there were some new ones this including Nicola Brazil who has taken over from McFadden in the role of Serena UCLA's Sorority Cheerleader. She seemed a little nervous, but with this being her first week, who can blame her?
