Day 3 in the Big Panto House

An afternoon call today for a bit of singing and dancing. We've now gone through the whole panto, blocking and a doing a bit of tinkering with the script. 
It's a great company this year and it's going to be a lot of fun.

We're rehearsing in the Pacific Road Arts Centre in Birkenhead (which is now sadly closed). It's a converted tram shed and huge!


The transport museum that was there is closed as well and we have to walk between the last remaining trams to get to our rehearsal space.

We're using the empty shops in the museum 
as the music and acting rehearsal rooms,
and the dancers are in the theatre space.

Last night Mark James (our Silly Billy) and I managed to get into Ken Dodd's sold-out show at The Floral Pavilion, which was great; the last time I saw him live was on a family holiday to Bournemouth in 1969.

Today's late start meant I was able to get to Caffe Cream for one of their wonderful homemade Ice Creams.
I went for Key Lime this time and it was delicious, as always.
