We started the musical in November with the auditions. The auditions consisted of us having to read off the script and singing in front of the other students in the year. After that we were told who had been called back and in December we found out who got each part in the musical. when we got back in January we began rehearsing. it took a few weeks before the dancers started learning the dances. I took part in 3 dances spread out over the cores of the play. It took a while for me to learn these dances properly.
When we rehearst on the junior school hall stage we found out it was a lot smaller than the Halla Nua and we struggled to all squeeze on stage for the dances.
On our first night of the play everyone was nervous. I was very nervous because I had changed dance partners that day because I found out the person I was dancing with had gone back to Spain. I then had to teach my new dance partner how to do the flip. It took a while but we finally were able to preform the entire dance with the flip.
I enjoyed doing the play and learning the dances.
