Strangers keep getting in touch wishing to audition. My vision for the show is expanding and growing.

The choir has grown from a small little knot of strong singers to a healthy twenty - set as the upper limit by our choir master - to an exponentially enormous swarm of angels surrounding the audience from on high (the balcony) with their angelic harmonious voices sweeping away the assembled company on a wave of exquisite sound. As flames from a fire kindled on the beach lick at Joan's toes.

Neil and Liz keep telling me not to be so fanciful. I think a drector's job is not to listen to best advice, right? As that's s sign of genius.

Auditions start a week yesterday but actually, on Tuesday as someone can't attend the real dates so wants to be seen in advance.

I think this show might rival the London Olympics opening ceremony. For spectacle, if not athletic prowess.
