I went to see Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat last night at the Sheffield Lyceeum Theatre starring Craig Chalmers and Keith Jack as the Narrator (both who were top five finalists in the TV show Any Dream Will Do, where they searched for the ideal person to play Joseph at The West End).
Told entirely in song, this Biblical cantata-actually an eclectic grab bag of rock, country, vaudeville song-and-dance, French ballad and calypso-relates the Old Testament tale of Joseph and his coat of many colors (U might think biblical sounds off putting but the show really is great!).
Thanks Claire for picking the best seats possible for me.
Everyone had star quality last night and the singing from Keith Jack was amazing too!! (I'm glad he didn't win the show to play Joseph in Ldn, it seems being the Narrator is a much bigger part, he stole the whole show - he definitely is very talented and can sing).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EMMY LI, did u have a good one yesterday? I hope you got ur little package in the post too, I was late in sending this so expect it coming your way soon!! (will U be out next week too? - I'll give U a call:)
I've a few cinema outings planned this week. Weds is Enchanted (all girlie girls have to see this flick) with Melanie, Thursday Fred Claus (Elf was on TV last Sunday, I love that film, Xmas films defin' rock! defin' puts U in the mood for Christmas) and Friday is the Rhianna concert at Hallam FM Arena (special guest is Ciara). I've been told I've got a good few days to take off work too (before xmas, I actually can't believe I've been good and kept so many holidays left) which is an extra bonus..wooo hooo...
It's the Clothes Show next Monday in B'ham - so looking forward to a good shopping trip! I've been badgering Emma not to spend any money on clothes and looking forward to a catch up with Oni too. Last year the show was terrific. Hoping to bag a pair of GHDs...
Aklso, I've just finished my personal Christmas cards for 2007 and got them off to print last week - so it'll be a week of writing cards next week to you!
Diva was hectic as ever last week, that's why I've not done an update in ages! Seriously, it's not healthy to work these hours we're given. Is this the life of a designer? I've a feeling it's a career change soon - I have been thinking of it lately, what shall cinDz do? Currently a lot of out clients are wanting to get a load of stuff out before Xmas - newsletters, leaflets, Xmas promotional stuff and cards, etc...Dan's great!! He's very encouraging as my line manager ;)
Anyway, I must type off!!! busy day ahead...I'll keep U posted.
