Coundown: 5

5 days to go. Everything is falling nicely into place and the whole team is starting to be pretty excited.

We received the program during the week, and the chocolate coins have just arrived.

We finally manage to find the beach balls we were looking for and all the finals details on costumes have been made.

After a really good dress rehearsal on Sunday we now just have a final run through on Thursday, and on we will go with the show!

Parlez-vous français?

Want to brush up your French? Our choreographer Julie will be talking about the Jukebox show on The French radio "Amuse Gueule", this Sunday 23rd September at 6.30pm.

To know all about the French touches the show has to offer make sure to tune to planetFM 104.6 in Auckland or to listen to the broadcast on their website.

Updates: First mock-up practice

The past week has been busy, really busy…

On the costume front, our seamstress Coco Columbine has been creative with grey, white and black fabric, while the rest of the team has been shopping all around town for footwear, and new tops to complete our wardrobe. There’s been sequin sewing, bow gluing and costume fitting happening in our office all week. The result should be superb!

In the meantime Ling, our graphic and set designer, has completed the show program that will contain the setlist and the coins. And it's off to the printers today!

What about the dancing you might ask? Well after practicing 3 hours each night of the week and running through the entire setlist on Saturday we finally had our first show mock-up on Sunday.

At 3.30pm we lay out the 24 costumes in our improvised changing room (a dance studio) while our sound engineer Matt was getting acquainted with the 24 tracks.

We marked a stage on the floor of the studio and set the jukebox in the corner.
Soon we were all ready, waiting for Patti Cakes to pull the choreography order out of a hat (well a tin cup in that case) and our stage help Caitlin to send the outcome backstage. You could feel the excitement and tension in the room.

The mock-up went like a breeze. Of course there were some costumes still being created and some that need to be altered!
Now it's time to clean the finer details, like our quick changes!

A snippet from the playlist

Are you hoping to be a coin getter at the Jukebox Show?

Here is a snippet from the playlist to get you thinking about what song you might like to choose...

You've been stamped!

The stamp is in the house and this is how we are getting creative and making the coins that our lucky 15 show-goers will recieve to choose a dance!

Pretty sparkly coins...
