Into the rafters and a slight restage

Production: Closest to the Moon
Show Week 1
by Melanie Bell


Hi there all Closest to the Moon fans! Just wanted to add a quick update. We had our tech yesterday after a long day of Spring teching and it was our first chance to see and sing in the space. It's very intimate, and I think in a way it's good as all audience members will be up close and personal and probably be able to feel our breathing, so I suppose that is an experience in and of itself. And there is less chance words and lyrics will be hard to hear.

We did have to do a little re-staging, as is always the case when getting into a new venue, to accommodate the amount of people on stage. Have to say though, some of the physical work we are doing which might have looked sparse in a huge space totally overcomes this venue and Gram is literally in the rafters. So that should hopefully be impressive. We also added a little more to the "Broadway show nightmare" number, choreography wise and it's sure to be exciting. Anyhow, really looking forward to an audience's reaction later this week. It's at the point where we are madly in love with it and just want to see how others respond. Hope to see you there
