General Update!

Ay up ducks!

Well, last time we were off to Goose Fair to do some filming to be used in the actual production and as a great publicity video - here's a pic of Arthur and Doreen on the waltzers (Tom and Amanda are genuinely clinging on for dear life-haha!) http://yfrog.com/kgm51fdj

We also had a great article published in the Nottingham Evening Post, links: http://yfrog.com/oepghdaj and full article http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/Sillitoe-s-anti-hero-rides/story-13490898-detail/story.html - just the beginning of the story!

We had an amazing cast party, which I am sure some videos and pics will be following and it was really great to get everyone together and we saw a copy of the Lib and Book - all finished (Version 1-as finished as a new show can be!) - very proud moment for Steve and Cathy and equally for Musicworks' John and Hazel - the first creative step/leap into the production of the show!

As far as researching Arthur, Tom has been working every week with Steve on Arthur's songs which there are many of, what proves to be testing is really getting the dialect right in conjunction with truthful storytelling. Tom is happy to admit he can be lazy with diction and it was a real testiment to the importance of diction when using such colloquial language - the audience has to be able to understand the story which does use very local words - alike in any show I guess. Start as we mean to go on so its perfect on the night!

If you want to sponsor the show, please do get in touch, we have plenty of sponsorship packages! Also follow us on Twitter @SNASMthemusical and Facebook - search for Saturday Night and Sunday Morning: A New Musical.

Hopefully get some fun videos up next time!! Any suggestions?? What do you want to see?

Goose Fair filming!

Hello all!

Well, got an exciting day of filming ahead tomorrow, if all goes well - there is a plan to create a promotional video (1960's style) with Arthur and his women at Nottingham's Goose Fair - waltzers and everything!!

Rehearsals with Steve (composer) have started with Tom (Arthur) and the parody quartet (Mark, Kate, Morten and Alice) - and will continue to do so until the first rehearsals with Sarah (Director).

Please follow SNASM on Twitter @SNASMthemusical and up our followers!!

Post soon,
