Goodbye Edinburgh! :(

nobody@vox.com(Trailer Park Musical) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 06:00:19 -0700

Well Today is Monday the 25th...this means that it is our last performance at C Venue in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and that we are leaving Edinburgh. This is rather sad for the cast because we had such an amazing time here. The festival was great...playing to sold out houses numerous nights...drinking in C Bar with our fellow C Venue memebers...the cast of Plague The Musical (who really have become great friends...we are going to miss them!...Thank God for Facebook! haha).

Well we are off to Birmingham, England for the week...and then back to the States next Sunday!

Smell ya later! :)

Performing for the US Consulate

nobody@vox.com(Trailer Park Musical) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 06:36:14 -0700

This morning the cast had the privilege to perform for the US Consulate here in Edinburgh. We got up bright and early and headed over to the theatre and us, along with a few other casts performed for them. It was quite an honor. We performed This Side of the Tracks.

Well it is a beautiful day here in Edinburgh (yahh! no rain!!) So we are going to get out and so some exploring...maybe even hike up to the top of Arthur's Seat!

Smell ya later! ;)

It's been a while!

nobody@vox.com(Trailer Park Musical) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 08:15:33 -0700

Hey ya'll!

So it has been a very busy week! We have been out flyering and doing a bunch of events! It has been a lot of fun!

Last week we filmed the opening number a bunch of times at C Venue for channel 3 news...it was a lot to do the number 3 times...but when we saw the news segment on tv last night, it all paid off...it was great!

Also, we had another Night at the Musicals last night. This time Doreen (Betty), Carolyn (Lin), Caitlin (Pickles) and Amanda (Jeannie) performed a few numbers from the show, and also hosted the event! They were quite hilarious! The rest of the cast was in the audience cheering them on, it was a blast! Pictures definitely to come...

Well off to do some touristy stuff even if it is raining (which is does EVERYDAY in Edinburgh!)

Smell ya later! ;)

Night at the Musicals and more!

nobody@vox.com(Trailer Park Musical) — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 06:04:23 -0700

Hey ya'll!

So last night right after the show, we had to immediately strike our set and get ready to do an event in our theatre called "Night at the Musicals" which was hosted by our very talented friends, the cast of "Plague: The Musical". The show featured a few shows from our venue doing some numbers from their show. We were third in the line up and Sara Ruzicka (Pippi), Amanda Earls (Jeannie) and Kenneth D'Elia (Norbert) sang "But He's Mine/It's Never Easy". The audience really seemed to enjoy it, and had nothing but compliments to give to the actors after the show.

This morning we all got up to head to the Royal Mile and Scottish Monument to do some press. "Hurricane Pippi" had come to town, and had take all of our garden ornaments and scattered them around the city! The press showed up and took a bunch of pictures of us with garden gnomes, ducks, roosters, and anything else you can imagine...it drew quite a crowd! All in all it was a fun morning.

Well, off to go do some flyering...and hopefully performing to another sold out audience tonight!

Smell ya later! ;)

We're still holding out for a Hero!

nobody@vox.com(Trailer Park Musical) — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 09:35:18 -0700

Hey again!

Back to the Royal Mile we go! Well actually not really the Royal Mile...but the areas around it doing something that we all love to do...FLYERING! Luckily the rain has held out, time to get some butts in those seats at C Venue!

The show last night was amazing! It was a decent size house...and they were definitely into it, they had us laughing from just listening to them laugh, it was awesome! They even gave us a standing ovation when the curtain call started, it was truly something wonderful. And what a great night for it to happen, The Scotsman reviewer had snuck in without us knowing to review the show. We woke up this morning to a great review in the paper, giving us 4 out of 5 stars, and nothing but great compliments about the show, the cast and the overall production.

Here is a link to the article...check it out!

Last night after the show, a few of the cast members decided to get a few drinks, and we stumbled across the cast members of "Plague: The Musical" who is also performing at C Venue. We had a great night bopping around from pub to pub with them...beer, americans and some brits...need I say more? FUN!

Off to the theatre we go!

Smell ya later! ;)

Hey ya'll!

We are FINALLY in Scotland at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! We have been performing for a few nights now, and the audiences really seem to enjoy the show. The entire cast and production team has really enjoyed being here so far (besides the mile walk the boys have to theatre everyday...but hey...it's exercise!). The landscape is gorgeous...and the pubs aren't too bad looking either! ;)

We are only in previews so there aren't many reviews out yet...but the talking has started...and we are definitely making a big splash so far!

Here are a few links to articles that have been published already...
