Since September I’ve been rehearsing for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with BLOC, the show dates being 20th – 23rd of November. I’ve worked with BLOC before, so it’s been nice coming back to a familiar environment.

I will perform Charlie, the title role.

Draft notes:

  • BLOC (worked with them before)
  • Surprisingly fire music
  • Super happy to have gotten role of charlie – lead
  • Helped me expand into musical theater more – especially spoken lines
  • Rehearsals have been very organised and productive but I’ve had to miss some for other projects which kinda sucks
  • Super cool cast yippee friends
