Title: On Stage!
Post by: MrBlobby on October 26, 2009, 04:06:08 PM

OK - Im an unfit, old fat bloke who does a bit of singing and AmDram.. who's been persuaded that I can master this (plus singing/acting) in the musical Scrooge (January2010) - I will be performing as the Ghost of Christmas Past on the Powerbocks I've just ordered. (OMG!)

If there's anyone near Bournemouth with plenty of patience wants to take me under their wing or pass me any tips that would be greatly appreciated...

Have read the forum and will keep dropping in from Time to time.

Have I bitten off more than I can chew ??????

I wonder why they told you to wear jumping stilts instead of regular ones.
I picture the ghost of Christmas past as an intimidating, slow-moving, solid
tomb stone-like chracter... Bocks are near impossible to stand still on.

But if you've bought them with your own money I'm glad they did talk you into bocks,
because they're way more fun!

Well  the 'noises off' of bouncing would be intimidating , whilst the constant shuffling on hooves might give an appearance of 'age'

Me looking like the Terminator would be a neat feat !

I have to do a fair bit of standing around in the show (i'm told I can have a staff...) but basically I'll be the jolly guy dancing / drinking / eating etc...
I dont expect to get airborne though !
Getting on from backstage is going to be difficult enough...

I havent set up my bocks yet, but this weekend i expect to start teetering... (OMG what have I done?????) Medic!

You might not expect to get airbourn  :Claugh: but it's very easy even when you don't want to

My advice would be to hook up with a local group as quick as you can as you will learn much quicker (about 10 times as fast)

Good luck
