I'm Ruth and I'm loving being part of the Music Man this year. I'm playing on of the Pick a Little ladies and having a great time. THe role is fun and funny :) I've been with the group for many years  now and haveenjoyed having roles in  lots of shows - in particular i loved Les Mis - it was really a highlight. Rehearsals are going really well and I've been surprised by how quickly the leads have learnt their lines and everyone is really throwing themselves into their roles. It' been wonderful to spend time with lots of friends and to be part of

Watching rehearsals last night, I was just amazed at how quickly the cast picked up their choreography and blocking. It looked sensational, even though it was only the first night of rehearsing that scene.  Again, the two leads were so well prepared that it was as if they had been rehearsing for weeks - no scripts even!
Supper was an exciting one too as one cast member shared some very beautiful and elaborate home made cupcakes! Such a pity the whole cast wasn't there to share them ... oh, well, more for the rest of us I suppose :)

Poor old Marion is in for it tonight as she works hard at the library, minding her own business! The cast are having a lot of fun with rehearsals so far and supper is a lively and noisy time. The hoodies have been ordered (don't forget to pay - cast members!) and set building has begun. It's full steam ahead for the River City townsfolk!

Thursday's rehearsal saw a lot of fun and frivolity. Poor Sam had her work cut out keeping those hen-pecked wives in order as they gossiped and flirted with Harold (who didn't seem to mind!). The pick-a-little song promises to stay with you for a long time and we will definitely find yourself singing it after the show! Well done Harold for managing to stay in control even when being mobbed by the ladies and hounded by the men - a true talent!!
 See you next week!

My role in the show is Euphemia Squires and I'm one of the Pick-a-little ladies, the tight nit group of  1912-style girl power in River City, Iowa! This is my first show with the group, i've done plays but this is my first musical. So far, it's different because the inclusion of music means the blocking is very different and there's lots more to think about. It's really fun and I'm enjoying the different experience. I first joined the CPP choir in January this year and then Jenn (MD) suggested I come along to auditions. The story of the Music Man is quaint, fun and has lots of heart. I'm really looking forward to getting into costume so that I can really 'feel' Euphemia!!! I
