final shots of the actors.

SO here we are at the end! These shots were taken in the final hours before opening night. The cast were treated to dinner beforehand. We also managed to celebrate Nikki Moss's birthday too! She brought in a cake and made sure everyone had a piece. The atmosphere before the show was fantastic. One big happy family. It really will be sad to see it go. But it's o.k. because I am left with wonderful memories and an intense feeling of pride and satisfaction with a job well done!
I look forward to working with as many of you as possible next time!
Adieu, Adieu

The final team talk before "showtime"

Nick pays close attention to how "professional" actors portray happiness on stage!

Directors notes are our way of saying things could be "better". As you can see Emily Moss and Lydia Halders are taking the news rather well don't you think?

Aren't actors "special"?

Everyone got a piece of Nikki's birthday cake (she insisted!)

Obviously not everyone was on a diet

These three seemed to have a little competition going to see who would be ready first every night. (it was usually Hannah)

By the end of the run everyone seemed quite comfortable in their costumes

Katherine likes doing this pose for the camera. I thought she was trying to do a sexy pout but as it turns out she is actually showing off her double chin! (Honest, just ask her !)

one of these three has just dislocated their shoulder! Gues which one.

Eventually Nikki resorted to a "reverse mugging" tactic. she would jump out at you and instead of robbing you she forced cake into your hands!

See!!!

The number two seems to have a special significance with Emma. Maybe she's been watching too much "Lost"!

"do you bite your plant at me, sir?"

This was where the fates went to do their makeup (and Tybalt, it appears!)

Miss Macdonald was a legend during the show. Among her talents was her amazing abilty to make the fates look beautiful!

Obviously not everyone was pleased with the end result!

FEED ME! ... Oh wait that was last year! but i suppose an army does march on it's stomach. judging by the amount being scoffed, they were big stomachs, too!!!!

Nikki's magic "floating cup and plate" trick needs work!
