Ok the story...

I was asked to help out (or basically watch!) with percussion at a theatre, which were putting on a pantomime of "The Sleeping Beauty" and i should be helping out a few times, but deffinalty doing it this Thursday and actually seeing it on Saturday.
But my friend saw it last week and told me someone from wicked was in it but she could'nt remeber who, then my friend was looking at my wicked diary and asked who someone was, and i said thats Nessa, my friend said, thats the character the person from wicked played, and i immediatly though Katie Rowley Jones, we looked up on the internet and sure enough its her!
She's going to be in sister act, and was in London's biggest show...whats she doing in a minor towns pantomime??
i hope i get to meet her!

So many people do panto though, I could ask the question why one of musics biggest icons is in my town doing a panto, or why is this huge soap star, which was one of the biggest storylines of 08 in my town....
Performers love performing, and any works work at the end of the day.

Earning some money? a lot of people who are in big shows do panto over Xmas if they haven't found anything else... as acting work is quite irregular I'd imagine they'd take any job (=income) over no job!

Katie has been cast as Sister Mary Robert in the "Sister Act musical."
