In the final show week, we had our tech and dress rehearsals. These rehearsals were incredibly useful in fully cementing all of the numbers within us as a company. Rehearsing with the band also allowed us to work on timings and our harmonies without the backing track, this incredibly useful as it allowed us all to work on any last minute things that we were struggling with such as certain harmonies in songs like the lower harmony in Heart Of Stone.
On Wednesday morning, I also found out that I would have to take up the principle role of Anna Of Cleves that day. On my first rehearsal in the morning, I was able to mostly perform the role up to a high standard. However, there were moments where I was supposed to sing the lower harmony in songs and I decided to sing the tune due to not being fully confident as I had not been singing the lower harmonies in the majority of the songs while being in a member of the ensemble. I also found it harder to sing harmonies while I was performing more complex dance breaks than I would usually as I was having to focus on many more things while also not twisting my ankle in some incredibly uncomfortable shoes.
