Those rehearsal blues...
Sep. 26th, 2007 08:22 pmA couple of weeks ago we lost one of our four (count them, four) men in the concert for reasons far too complicated to go into now.
Last night we pretty much lost another one.
Paul (who some of you have met and who played Higgins in My Fair Lady), our best male singer, has had throat problems for a while and he went to the doctor in the last few days.
Turns out he has something wrong with his throat (he couldn't remember exactly what it is but from the description sounds like throat nodules to me) and has been told not to sing for six weeks to see if it gets better. If not he will have to have an operation.
So he has now arranged to just sing his two solos and nothing else. So we are down to two men, and Denyse who sings tenor.
Arghhh! Things have never got quite this bad before!
Just to add insult to injury, we had a request from Salisbury Operatic Society who are doing the musical of Titanic asking if we can help them out. They've got 20, but they are still two short...
