Day Five

The end of our first week, and it's amazing how much we've covered. Many of the songs are very familiar to us now, and are rattling round my head for most of the day and night. We've come less far in terms of the actual scenes, but it's really important that the music and dances are looked at early on to get them well bedded-in. There's plenty of time for the scenes to come alive in the coming weeks.

The company depart for a well-earned weekend break, although I'm sure many of us will spend a good whack of it getting some words and dots memorised. ('Dots' meaning musical notes.) Some people disappear off to their loved ones back home, and others will stick around to see a bit of Leeds - our first opportunity to hit the arcades!
