Diary Of The Show

BY NICOLA HARMON

Opening night of the TY Musical - Grease

After months, weeks, days, minutes and seconds, the opening night of our TY Musical, Grease was finally upon us. The anticipation, the nerves and excitement was surreal. You could taste the energy backstage!

The morning of our big show night we did a dress rehearsal for the 1st and 5th years As predicted we left the audience walking away stunned and amazed at our performance. But before the dress rehearsal there were definitely nerves as it was most people’s first ever ‘big show production ’ Thankfully performing the dress rehearsal really helped get rid of nerves for the big night ahead.

We went home walking on air and came back rejuvenated ready to perform again! We got dresses and stage ready and then did our warm up as a year group. I really enjoyed the time before the show to go around and talk to everyone The atmosphere was electric

At the end of the show everyone got their time under the spotlight and did an outstanding performance The costume changes were the hardest part but really gave a feel of what is like in the ‘showbiz’ world.

Seeing the crowd cheer, laugh and clap was fascinating and the reaction we got taking our bows at the end was phenomenal. Right then and then we knew we had put on a terrific show that we should all be proud of.

This will go down as one of the most memorable experiences of TY. I felt we really bonded as a group I learnt that hard work really does pay off in the end and this really wouldn’t be possible without the tremendous help from our teachers, production team (band,light and stage crew) Ms. Ní Mháirtín, Mr. Wall, Ms. Scallan, Roisín, Ms. Olohan and last but not least the enthusiastic effort and performance from my fellow classmates.
