Musical
For our transition year musical production we did 'Legally Blonde'. Before we knew what musical we were doing there were a few things we had to do first. We had to sing infront of our choreographer Aisling and around ten people which was very nerve racking. We lined up in a semi circle and our Aisling had each of us sing a small part of a song from the musical 'Grease'. After we finished that I realised singing in front of everyone was just something we would have to do so I slowly became comfortable with singing in front of others. However that still didn't stop me from being nervous. We also had to act out a scenes in groups in front of everyone but this wasn't intimidating at all. It actually turned out to be a good laugh. After this we received the news that our musical would be Legally Blonde. Call backs were put in place and I was confused and proud to see my name on the list. For the call backs we had to sing a different song, this time, one from Legally Blonde. Eventually this all lead to the casting. I was the given the part of singing and dancing . After a few weeks we didn't use our scripts to say our lines and we began to learn dances. The dancing was a lot of fun. It was hard remembering each dance for different songs but in the end I managed to stay on top of it and learn everything. Our tickets were being sold soon after that and although I knew the muscial would be on in the coming weeks it still felt surreal to see posters for 'Legally Blonde' around the school. The nights of the musical were tough. We had two shows on two days. One for the school and one for the parents. The next day was the same and I began to get tired but there was only one more night after that so everyone did their best. The show was a success and everone deserved the praise they got. Going up for the bow for the last time felt emotional as this would be the last show that we would ever do. I was both a little bit sad that it was over but I was also happy for the experience I got in the production of the musical. So overall, I loved the musical and I am very grateful that I could be a part of this play.
