*Big Fun Friday music*
Dear diary,
and so it begins.
I'm on my way in to rehearsals for the first day of Heathers. I don't actually know where I'm going. Full of nerves and excitement,
and- *chuckles nervously*
Ah, I'm just like
buzzing. Apparently today we're watching the movie of Heathers, which is the kind of first day of rehearsals I've never had before.
So I'm now approaching the building, and I'm about to meet the students and faculty of Westerberg High for the first time.
Aah!

Dear diary, welcome to the second week of
rehearsals for Heathers the Musical at The Other Palace.
I didn't really film anything in the first week, because I was far too nervous.
I didn't really know anyone well enough to stick my camera in their face.
But now it's the second week and everything has changed. Today is our first day of
staging, we have not staged any of it yet. We've been focusing solely on the music,
so I'm excited to
get the show up on its feet. Yesterday we had a little presentation
in front of Bill Kenwright, our producer,
and it went really well. I think we were all really pleased with how it went.
So now it's time to get everyone on their feet.
Director: Action!
C: September 1st, 1989.
Dear diary, I think I'm a good person.
I believe there's good in everyone.
But here we are, first day of senior year.
Dear diary, it is-
Thursday, the 24th of May, and I am currently headed to a press call, very early in the morning. It's not even nine o'clock yet.
But I'm on my way to a press call at the Picturehouse on Shaftesbury Avenue. From what I can gather,
I think they're relaunching the movie and so they're tying that in with the show,
cross-promotion, all of that kind of thing.
But it means some early morning singing with me and the Heathers.
C: Paul Taylor-Mills, can you please tell me what you're doing? P: I've lost a hem on my black trousers. C: Okay. P: So I took of my boots and
it's nine a.m. and I'm just sowing my- sowing my trousers.
C: Our producer, ladies and gentlemen, our producer.

*cheering*
C: Jodie, do you want to tell me what we did today?
J: We- we bought popcorn.
C: Over and over and over- J: Over and over and again.
T: And we went up and down an escalator.
C: Yeah, a lot. A lot. J: And we drank, prayed and hoped.
C: Ate a lot of real popcorn though. J: Ate a lot of real popcorn, I feel a little bit sick now.
C: Yeah, my teeth hurt from chewing.
J: I mean, it's only half eleven.
J: Not even. C: We are an hour and a half late for rehearsals.
S: We'll get there and Paul loves children. J: We've just eaten four large popcorns.
C: Yeah, no one's had breakfast, but we have had popcorn.
S: We had some pictures done. C: Yes, cute photobooth pictures,
which hopefully will be sent to my email, and if they have been I will put them on the screen now. J: And I look fantastic.
*laughter*

Dom: Oh hey, you caught me by my locker. My name is Dom-
D: Shit. *Carrie laughs*
C: You don't have to do it in character, you just need to say that you are Dom, and you're playing Ram Sweeney.
D: Hey, I'm Dom. And I'm playing Ram Sweeney in Heathers the musical, the hit musical from off Broadway.
D: Thanks Jamie. Jamie just fingered my bum. Is that bad? Can I put like that stuff in? C: Yeah. D: Okay cool. Sweet.
D: Okay, so I'm most likely to get injured by doing something very stupid.
C: I agree. A: I'm Alex James-Hatton. I'm playing Beleaguered Geek, and I'm most likely to trip someone up.
J: Hello, I'm Jamie Muscato. I'm
playing JD, and I most likely to not think of anything I'm most likely to do.
C: Fair enough. C: My name is Chris. I'm playing Kurt Kelly, and I am most likely to sing the wrong words.
O: Hi, I'm Olivia. I'm gonna be in the ensemble, and I am most likely to buy the snacks for the cast.
S: I'm Sergio Pasquariello, and I'm playing in the
ensemble, and I would say
I'm most likely to eat all of the biscuits.
T: Hi, my name is T'Shan Williams. I'm playing Heather Duke, and I am most likely to- *someone randomly shouts 'Pokémon* - to fluff a line
and freestyle my way out of it. L: Hi, I'm Lauren Drew.
I'm playing New Wave Girl, and I am most likely to turn around and try to make people laught during the show.
C: Hi, I'm Charlotte. I'm Stoner Chick.
God, wow, it's made me feel- I'm most likely to feel uncomfortable.
*Carrie softly chuckles*
C: I've dropped my joint. Don't smoke kids.
*Carrie laughs*
S: Hi, I'm Heather McNamara, and I'm
most likely-
sorry- I could have most likely bullied him.
S: No, I most likely mess up all the dance routines.
C: Go on. No, you're good. You're good.
B: Hi, I'm Becky and I play miss Flemming, and I am most likely to miss beginners, because I am doing the last minute break.
J: Hi, I'm Jodie Steele. And I am Heather Chandler.
And my most likely is to
probably
hit T'Shan or
Sophie by accident
when we're in a trio. Or break my nose. J: Hi, I'm Jon Boydon, and I'm most likely to be mistaken for Gordon Ramsay, darling.
J: Hi, I'm Jenny and I'm playing Martha, and I am most likely to sneeze onstage because I'm allergic to everything.
E: Hello, I'm Edward and I play Ram's dad, most likely to be found eating wherever I am. *Carrie chuckles*
A: Hi, I'm Andy Fickman. I am the
understudy for
Carrie Hope Fletcher, and
I am most likely to be asked to leave rehearsal by
the producers
and the writers, and
some of the cast. But never give up hope, kids. *Carrie laughs*
A: Spirit!
And I am Carrie hope Fletcher,
I will be playing Veronica Sawyer, and I am most likely to fall madly in love with every single cast member of
Heathers the musical at The Other Palace. Thank you so much for watching.
I hope you've had big fun, and I will see you next Friday. Bye.
