So our first rehearsal tonight for Big Top Beauty and the Beast what do we do…….. characterisation. Basically tonight’s rehearsal was a question and answer session with people I hardly knew in regards to my pantomime character Russell. I was asked questions such as who are my parents?

Well its 1 week since Calamity Jane finished. Firstly it was great going to back to Bradford Players after missing their last few shows, and after 6 months of rehearsals i really felt back in the Players family.
