So at work (Theatre Royal Stratford East) I was lucky enough to be able to watch The Harder They Come dress rehearsal and it was amazing. I have never seen a musical before so didn't no what to expect.
In my head I pictured a full production like they do for the Panto, so big scenery, costumes changes, but it wasnt like that at all, it was much more simple.
Yes each character was in a costume, but other then the main character they didn't change. There were about 9 mics on stage and you could see the band and the Stratford East Singer (our own brilliant choir) at the back. It was unlike any show I've seen before but I really enjoyed it and cant wait to see another.
The singers were amazing, they had me singing along to all the songs I just wanted to get up and dance. As it was just a dress rehearsal there wasn't a lot of people in the audience, but the atmosphere was still amazing, so I can only imagine what it was like for the actual show.
So yeah if you didn't get to see it at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, make sure you try an check out where they are next.
