Marty does Saigon. (Kinda...not really)

Okay, so this news is pants-wettingly-cool, so you might wanna chuck on a pair of depends before you read any further.

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I'm pretty excited about Miss Saigon coming to town.

What's possibly the one thing cooler than Miss Saigon playing here in Melbourne for a 16 week season?

Being involved.

So in a few weeks I jump on a plane and fly over to Sydney for rehearsals for Miss Saigon! Now, I'm not actually doing anything there, more hanging around for a few days to observe the brilliant Mr. Guy Simpson work as MD extraordinare.

I'll be there to watch, copy his moves, and generally steal his MD Mojo.

The team are rehearsing in Sydney for 5 weeks, before moving to Melbourne for tech calls, previews, and the 16 week season.

I'll be at the first few days of rehearsals in Sydney, and then at all the orchestral calls and the Sitzprobe (and maybe even a couple of tech calls) here in Melbourne.

I feel extremely extremely grateful for this killer opportunity. Needless to say that my first cast of '07 will have a newer, better, smarter MD waving a silly white stick at them.

The heat is ON!
