I am bathing in the glow. We opened Rocky Horror in Cape Town tonight to a riotous audience. It was the culmination of one of the most gloriously uplifting and inspiring rehearsal periods I have ever been through. And it's safe to say I have been through a few. Over the past 14 years I have worked with 7 international creative teams. Some have been absolutely wonderful and some have been unspeakably vile. The team that came from the UK to do Rocky Horror is probably the most extraordinary team I have had the privilege to work with. Director - Christopher Luscombe, Associate Choreographer - Andrew Ahern and Music Supervisor - Tony Castro created an inspiring, empowering and completely safe space for everybody to explore, experiment and make mistakes without judgment. They treated every single person on the production with the utmost respect, kindness and generosity of spirit - all with a complete absence of ego or need to flex muscle. On day one of rehearsal Chris laid out his vision for the production. The story has never been clearer. The characters are layered and detailed. Act 2 finally works and takes the audience by surprise at how emotionally moving it becomes. There is a firm hand at avoiding self indulgence and keeping the motor of the show racing at a breathless pace. The end result is a super happy company and a production that is so much fun to do it should be illegal.

Now we all set to do the "time warp" at Artscape Theatre Centre with Marlene Le Roux and #mygirl Roxanne Khan.
