OMIBlog you guys! I’m very excited to be writing the latest update for the marvellous SMP cast of Legally Blonde.

My name is Bex and I am playing the role of Whitney. This week was a fun packed week of Legally Blonde rehearsals. On Monday, we all swatted up and learned the Harvard sections of the show with our Director Luke Clow and Choreographer Jo Bakhurst. There was much sensibleness and silliness while we were schooled on the moves and lyrics.

Next door to us on Monday, another talented group of SMPers selected their entries for a festival of one act plays. These sound wonderful and there was much excitement from the group.

On Wednesday a smaller group met to rehearse songs and acting sections of the show which meant a lot of us had a well earned and rare evening free.

However, we were treated to some excellent recordings of the songs and you will not be disappointed!

This week we were also sent a personal SMP good luck message from the original London Elle Woods! Snaps go to Aiden who made this happen! Eek!

This is shaping up to be a wonderful show and there is so much excitement from the cast. This is definitely one not to be missed!

Helloooo! This week you’ve got Tara and Rosheen writing about all things legally blonde. We are both in the ensemble, and we are very excited to be a part of the show, which is shaping up nicely!

It was another one rehearsal week this week, with us getting to see our resident Callahan (John Stivey) in action, as we all navigated the tricky world of Blood in the Water. But with the help of our show week MD, Simon, getting us whipped into shape by the end of the night, it was sounding fabulous!

The rehearsal was immersive, where we got to experience what it would be like to be law students in Callahan’s class with the amazing John Stivey portraying his best self-important and manipulative law professor.

Overall the rehearsal was fun, and we got to get to know everyone else a little bit better. If the way the song sounded by the end of the rehearsal is anything to go by, this show is going to be amazing, and definitely one that you do not want to miss! We are loving every second of it so far, and cannot wait for more rehearsals to come.

Rosh and T over and out!

Hey everyone! Archie Beach here with the third OMIBlog. I’m very happy to be in the show with SMP, it’s gonna turn out great from what we’re seeing so far!

On Monday, we set the dance to “What You Want” which was energetic to begin with, but with the dance on top, it’s a real showstopper! Big ensemble numbers are normally flashy and stylish, but this is even bigger! Hope everyone’s remembered the dance-there’s a lot to do in that number.

The energy in the room was just as good as the dancing-everyone was having a lot of fun from what I could see. It’s a good thing we have such a good choreographer in the form of Jo B because that could have quickly turned into a 2 hour nightmare session in the wrong hands! Everyone did really well on Monday’s session and it looks really good for the most part. The bad part’s mainly me not being able to dance to save my life, but oh well.

Unfortunately there was no rehearsal on Wednesday-I believe Jo was ill. Hope you’ve gotten better or get better soon! I guess “Jamaican Me Crazy!” is gonna have to wait for a bit.

Like I said, I think the show’s gonna turn out great from the quality of rehearsals we’ve had so far-can’t wait to see exactly how it turns out!

See you guys soon for another great rehearsal!

Heyyy hey! It’s Lauren Price here kicking off off the OMIBlog Week 2. I have been fortunate enough to be cast as the one of the Delta Nus and can’t wait to perform alongside such a gorgeous cast under the instruction of our wonderful creatives. *Snaps*

This week started with setting our opening number “OHMIGOD you guys”!! The energy that was coming from the rehearsal space buzzed around the room and that was before anyone even had a red bull!! The over excitable, fierce and utterly fabulous show starter sets the precedent perfectly for the journey we’ll have putting this show on.

We then took the time to sneak next door and see something a little more “Serious” from our very own Warner (played by Phil Crocker). Who has been breaking hearts since 1990. Anyone who knows our Elle Woods (played by Jo McWilliams)should not see her suffer this sort of heartbreak so close to Valentine Day!

On Wednesday we had our singing rehearsal for the absolute epic that is “what you want”it is sooo full out and I’m super excited to see Jo B work her choreography magic next Monday!

Love love LOVING rehearsals so far and so excited to piece the Legally Blonde puzzle all together and see what super masterpiece we end up with!

Peace out y’all – Mwah x

Hey there, you blooming beautiful bunch, happy Monday to you all. I’m Jo and I am absolutely tickled pink to have been blessed with the privilege of playing Elle Woods in SMP’s Legally Blonde (OMIGOD) Alongside a cast of phenomenal talent, and, as always, led by a team of very dedicated souls.

What a blast our first week of rehearsals have been, it’s been a joy to see both old and new members of the SMP family come together, havefun and sounding glorious already!

Starting with an eye wateringly funny “team building” session on Monday. As you can see from the pics our faces were alight with such a happy energy. OMIGOD you guys, we had so much fun! After a little introduction and “get to know each other” with our superb director Lukey, it was time to get moving…whoop

We were put into teams by “master of fun” our choreographer extraordinaire, JoBeeeone, who tasked us with several hilarious and slightly impossible missions to complete, including crafting Elles proposal dress out of bin bags of course, passing a hula hoop around our circles of joined hands, team skipping, sorting ourselves into a variety of orders in the fastest time and, naturally, climbing on top of one another to create the best demonstration of whatever random thing Jo had just shouted out, plus many other crazy and joyful antics.

Its safe to say all the fun worked a TREAT as everyone was buzzing, laughing, chatting and mixing so nicely by the time we sat down to have our first sing through of a full company number. The ever careful and expert conducting of our master of music, cupKate, had us all belting out our gorgeous harmonies in no time at all!

Needless to say the Delta Nus were mega excited to be returning on Wednesday for our second rehearsal, eeeeek, where we would be working very hard on the vocals for our extremely energetic opening number. This went super smoothly, and the deltas sounded incredible, so good I almost didn’t want to join in when the time came – I was enjoying it all so much!

A perfect start to our LB journey has begun, cherubs. Fun and laughter, friends new and old and sooooo many moments of “snaaapppsss” joy. Here’s to more heart warming weeks like that, eeeeek SNAPS (so sorry, last one) Xxxxx

One final thing, thank you Dave Stoughton for the lovely….SNAPS!
