Cannibal! The Musical! Comes to a Close
There’s no denying that our production of Cannibal! has been all consuming these past few months. Both of our directors began preliminary work on the show back in November ‘06 and our audition process began way back in March of this year. And now, after all this time, the Irish premiere of Trey Parker’s “Cannibal! [...]
And We’re Off!
Can’t believe it but we’ve got our first night over and done with.
Unbelievable.
All I can say.
We’re live in the Watergate all this week, dropping in and out of mails, Bebo, MySpace and the like. To everyone who attended the opening night of the show, we thank you from the bottom of our Devious hearts. [...]
Cannibal! The Musical! Opens Tonight!
Well, I don’t think we can really believe it but Cannibal! is really here, opening tonight to the public and from what we can see in the booking office it looks like there’ll be people there as well! Bookings look optimistic for the week - we’ve been covered in the local and regional press, or [...]
The Final Night Of Rehearsals
Well, it has finally arrived. Tonight can be pretty much be regarded as the final night of rehearsals given that we move into the theatre this coming Monday afternoon to start erecting the set, getting the lights focused and fine tuning some movements in our new surroundings.
I don’t think there’s any of us in the [...]
Two Weeks to Opening Night!
That mere fact is something that astonishes me, as the audition process back in March seems like it was only yesterday. Yes folks, it’s less than two weeks to the opening night of the Irish premiere of Trey Parker’s Cannibal! The Musical! It’s all hands on deck at this point as we all hurriedly rush [...]
Cannibal! The Musical! The Final Poster Artwork!
With only a handful of weeks left to the opening of Cannibal! The Musical!, the promotional gears are beginning to turn. So today, for you good folk, we present the final poster artwork for the show! It’s a ‘devious’ pastiche of a famous painting of an awkward supper, where everyone sat at a long table [...]
It’s A Long Long Way… For Us To Go!
Ok, so the diary thing hasn’t *exactly* been going to plan in posting daily rehearsal updates but we’ve been making notes along the way and will start back-cataloging stuff later. The reason the updates haven’t been appearing is that we’re absolutely flat out busy with rehearsals, committee meetings, organising the final run of props, costumes, [...]
Day 8: Miners Photoshoot
We braved the torrential rain and thunder that Kilkenny has had all day long to take to the Castle Park earlier this evening (while still raining) to get some outdoor shots we can use for the press, press packs and web site. It was nice to get the night off rehearsals and tackle something totally [...]
Day 7: Teaching The Trappers To Dance
So, day 7 of rehearsals has passed us by and we finally got to work with Sean (as Crazy Old Ralph) and do a little more work on the blocking of interations between the miners and whores precamp and at the camp.
A highlight of a slightly rushed night would be the start of a dance [...]
Day 5: Packer, Polly, Mills Again
So last night saw the second of the Packer-Polly-Mills rehearsals involving the interactions in the courtroom for the beginning of Act 1, the second scene of Act 1 and the beginning of Act 2. The emphasis here was certainly more on blocking and getting the best movements out of Mills as a character. Now happily [...]
