I just got an email from a trampoline coach at a gym near me, he said one of his friends has got a part in LOTR west end musical..... on stilts! lol, not sure what part hes playing, but cant imagine watching aragorn on powerisers lmao

Im sooo happy he has agreed to let me use his facilities to try flips, where he'll be training for a part in a musical too! hehe

When I successfully complete a flip (without breaking me neck) I'll post some pics and a vid

my freind told me about this a while ago, he said i should apply! haha be hilarious

it takes alot to act on stilts.. what we did in south africa was all coriagraphed.. its much harder than you might first think..

Being a half as*ed angel is hard enough... but a Musical .. in one of those big halls.. That must be pretty tough.

I am sure I heard on a news report that they are harnessed so that they dont fall into the audience. I dont think their insurance would cover a claim....

But that could be funny with an orc in your lap at first row

The girl in the row infront of me told her mates she nearly wet herself when one of the orcs came down the aisle and stood next to her and look her in the face ( she nearly jumped into our row )

I think we stood get a group of us to go and boo when he starts losing the fight !

a similar thing happened to the guy next to me. He was looking the other way and one crept up behind him. when he turned round he was a few inches away. that got one hell of a laugh.

we could also jump up onto the stage when he starts losing and help him out! lol. that'd really muck the show up.

BS

p.s. oh and they definatly are not on harnesses. if there was a danger of them falling they wouldn't be allowed on stage. plus they rehearsed for a year so they had plenty of time to get it right.

I get to wander around Theatre Royal every day as I work there

The other day I walked in on a couple of orcs in full costume having a cup of tea the were chatting and one asked the other where he came from I can't remember where he said but it was somewhere like Oxford
so I said that I thought all orcs came from Newcastle

to which he replied that I dosen't have the same ring as Mount Doom so they keep quiet about it

Talk about a sureal conversation
Your right DK they are not harnessed and they are a really frendly bunch and have given me loads of tips and sympathey about the wrist
