bookzombie | Good news, for once

What with one thing and another, being upbeat does not always come easily these days, but here's some good news for a change:

1.

pennski passed her ITIL exam yesterday with a stonking 39/40. Many congrats dearest!
2. Auditions went well last night. Oddly, 'Razzle Dazzle' which is pretty comfortable for me wasn't as good as it could have been - a mixture of nerves and worrying about singing the correct verse! But 'Stars', which I thought was a bit of a gamble, went really, really well (one of the women in the society said that it made the hairs stand up on the back of her head'!)
To cut a long story short, I pretty much got everything I wanted, plus some other bits and pieces. So I've got:

Razzle Dazzle (from Chicago)
Stars (from Les Miserable) + Javert's part in 'One Day More'
Be Our Guest (from Beauty & the Beast)
Prima Donna (from Phantom of the Opera) - as a trio with Martin and Carol - this will be a lot of fun!
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (from Spamalot) - a duet with Martin
some other odds and ends

After my long run of, at best, semi-successful auditions I can't tell you how chuffed I am by all this!

It's going to be a lot of work though...
