Once the matinee performance had ended we all got out of costume. A few people went to McDonald's whilst others ate sandwiches, fish and chips etc in the bar whilst watching TV and putting their feet up before the evening show. There was also an emergency pump out of the mens toilets due to a blockage. NICE!!!!No sooner was the make up off and we'd eaten than it was almost time to start the process all over again!. The snack boxes were replenished for front of house and it was back to make up for another 15/20 minutes in the chair to be re plastered!
We had the smallest audience to date this evening (approx 40) but they 'got going' eventually after some encouragement and by the time it got to Idle Jack's song they were with us and singing along in the chorus!
Amongst the audience were also two of the three representatives from the charities we had been supporting for the past twelve months who had come to collect their cheques.
Also in the audience was our No1 fan. "Shovel's" Mum who has seen all three performances this week and used to regularly come to all 8/9 performances of previous shows before she was exceptionally ill a couple of years ago.
Once the show was over and the portakabins had been cleared of all costumes and make up, the majority of us retired to the bar for a well earned beer before heading for home.
