Costume/ Props Changes

Costume/props Changes-

Before the show it is useful to run through (both physically and mentally) all the props/costume changes and pre-sets so that I am ready and 'on the ball'/ focused when it comes to the performance- as this is very complicated! During the previous show I skipped this step, believing I was confident enough to run through without this check- that was my mistake! Due to this I forgot to pre-set my Blue coat costume (which Amy was able to solve) however it will be easier for both of us if I remember my props/costume journey and pre-set these myself (as she has her own costume changes to complete).

Pre-setting-

• The 'Mindy'/old Lady character has to be set for bingo in the alcove of door five
• My Sparkling 'stripper' costume also has to be set for bingo in the alcove of door five
• my roses have to be pre-set at the bottom of the stairs for the 'I will never leave you transition' into the final suicide
• My Blue Coat costume has to be pre-set behind the foyer stairs, ready for the canteen scene
• I have to pre-set the Hero handbag at the top of the foyer stairs (ready for the suicide scene) - I will also be wearing my Hero dress.
