Usually with tears haha!! Sadly all good things do have to come to an end and on Saturday evening the season of "Big Fish" The Musical had its last bow. But what an amazing time it was!
Often you'll get to the end of doing a show (which has taken months of your life up) and think "it's been great but be glad to finish", Big Fish was not like that at all. I have been blessed to do some fabulous shows, with great people and of course when your passion is performing and you get to do it everyday, you don't want to let it go. But from the first rehearsal, we all knew we had something special.
The musical itself is a magical journey filled with colour, joy and mythical characters entwined with real life and love, the music although sometimes called unmemorable is just beautiful and not only am I not over it, I can't seem to stop listening to it! Our orchestra was so amazing with the difficult score, and the backstage & technical crew were phenomenal in creating a flow and making us look good!
The Cast and production crew were amazing, such a lovely bunch of people from all over but accepted as all of us wanted to put on the best show possible. I can't thank our Director Amanda, Musical Director Mark and Choreographer Kerry enough for allowing us to bring ourselves to the characters and scenes so that everything onstage was authentic and as believable as it could be.
What I also loved about being a part of this production was I was working with friends and people I admire in all aspects of the show, I also made some amazing new friends but to watch your friends grow and excel in a role really fills my heart with joy and makes it even more special (plus my bestie and I got to be best friends on stage as well, loved it!)
Sometimes we do get in our own little bubble, when you are creating you love it all, but you never know what an audience is going to think. Especially when its an unknown musical such as this one but it seems we were right and audiences loved it as much as we did. The reviews and people's comments to us were just unbelievable really, there was so much emotion involved and everyone seemed to connect with the characters and allow themselves to travel the journey.
I have put links to our reviews below, in case you want to have a read, they really are quite good.

I have loved every moment of this show. I have loved the character of Sandra, red hair, crazy costume changes and all! I loved sharing a story and connecting with the audience on different levels, being a mum and a grandma and singing with Andrew again. And I really don't want to let "I Don't Need a Roof" and "Time Stops" go.
If you came and saw the show, I hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed performing it.
We hope we shared that story of life, family, relationships and dreaming bigger!
Go out and make your life amazing!
