One week in….

July 16th, 2009 by Josh Cass

And if we were actually riding the Tour de France we would be somewhere around Arcalis by now, as it is, we have just got the first week under our belt. And the overwhelming feeling? A sense that audiences might actually be enjoying the show as much as we are performing it. Going into a project like this which has such a specialist area of interest and such a strong focus on the look and style of it, it was a concern, well... at least to me, that audiences would find it difficult to relate to, but so far so good! We've got a long way to go before Paris though!

Press Night Here We Come

July 14th, 2009 by Alexander Guiney

Just waking up on the morning (ish) of press night with only one thought on my mind. Well a lot more than that actually. Just thinking back to when we started this process, and how crazy it is to be playing someone as well known as Lance Armstrong! The most interesting thing about trying to figure what he is all about is the fact that I don't think I have ever come across a more polarizing figure: nobody is ambivalent about Lance, people either generally love or loath him. Really looking forward to tonight, but a couple of things that I need to take care of first: checking lines, running the fight a bunch with Marco-It's-Tom-Daplyn-Really-Pantani, shaving my legs... A tough job, but as the head of acting at Webber used to say, "it's better than getting slapped in the eye with a wet Haddock" she is from Stoke you see. And on that note, a little bit of Lance's musical tastes du jour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QQ0hH4MYsk Wish us luck! Alex (Lance)
