Hello!

Welcome to the Last Five Years blog! The idea is to try and keep everyone who can't join us at the festival up to date with any news about the show, how our performances are going and generally what's happening.

The plan is to get one company member to blog every day telling you what they've been up to maybe put up some photos - that sort of thing, we'll see how long it lasts!

Look out for some amazing blogs from myself and Associate Producer Vicki (hers will be far, far more eloquently written), and hopefully see you in person supporting our show in Edinburgh. Details about it can be found on our official website, www.lcubed.co.uk

Latest Addition: Acrobatics!

Hey guys!

Ben (Red Jamie) here! Thanks for all your support since we've
started, had quite a few sell out shows now and got advanced bookings
for every date which is amazing!
The show is going from strength to strength...however...last night
seen an acrobatic stunt added to the show!
During Shiksa Goddess, I took to the stage a little more excitable
than before, when I ran for the bench from an unusual angle....

...the bench went back...

...I went forward...

...did a roly poly across the stage...

...jumped up, carried on singing (missing only a few words in the
process)...

...the band kept playing (with horrified faces), as some of them
nearly lost limbs due to the bench flying...

...and the show carried on...

...for as a good friend often says to me "That's the magic of theatre
darling! The show must go on!"

A few titters and gasps from the audience and a bruised hip later,
everything is now fine, but I think I've developed a fear of benches!
Apart from this the show is running great, but Alex (Blue Jamie) is
literally feeling blue and ill at the moment so get well soon!

Therefore tonight will be the first crossover cast show:

Cathy - Branwen
Jamie - Ben

See you all tonight
