Well here we are - Robin Hood opens tonight - can you believe it!
Paul Elliott the Director came up to the offices this morning and said the dress rehearsal was perfect last night - and what a great company they are.
The company will be doing another dress rehearsal this afternoon before the curtain goes up at 7.15pm so a few of us here will have the chance to see the production for the first time - what a nice way to end the week - hissing and booing and singing along with John Barrowman!
It's always really busy backstage on days like this but really exciting - and of course it's even busier for our front of house staff as they prepare to open the doors later to just under 2,000 panto goers.
I always like the atmosphere in our foyer on the first night of pantomime - it's great to see lots of families starting off christmas with a visit to a great British tradition.
Tomorrow is press night so keep a look out for the reviews over the next few days.

I hope the show goes well...but the booking line keeps you on hold for ages and then disconnects your call! This on an 0844 (premium) number if calling from a mobile. I calculate I spend over £5.00 trying to book by phone. The show I want to see can't be booked online.
Break some legs guys!!
Well what a night.
John was just fantastic its just great to see all that talent in one place, and as for Mutch the Millers Son a star in the making.
Thankyou to the Cast and Crew for a night of great family entertainment. We will be back for more
