Oddest comment of the week...

...belongs to one of the women at rehearsal last night. Picture me (wearing t-shirt - yes it is relevant!) with a woman on each arm ready to start walking forward at the beginning of a song.
Woman on right hand side: 'You've got very smooth skin on your arms. You must moisturise'.
Okay, the slightly sardonic tone of voice did make it slightly less camp than it sounded...
(My response? 'I have an indoor job with no heavy lifting.' The only time I moisturise is when I get dry skin on the sides of my nose!)
In general rehearsals are going okay. We ran the first section (of four) from start to finish for the first time and proved that we all knew it rather better than we thought (with a little prompting). I was particularly pleased last night because I finally managed to get my part of the harmony for 'Tom, Dick or Harry' (from Kiss Me Kate) pretty much right. I've been really struggling with it for weeks and last night it just suddenly clicked.
I've also got the slightly bizarre experience of performing a solo number ('42nd Street' from ... oh, work it out!) surrounded by a group of tap-dancing women. I've never had my own dance troupe before!
