Entering 'Blogland' is about as scary as walking the boards of the Garrick Theatre, London and so - after last week's West End debut as Taupey in Snow White and Seven Designers, alongside Tim Gosling, Joanna Wood and Trevor Pickett to mention just a few of the interior design thespians in the cast - here we go... Heigh Ho!
Playing Taupey was wonderful in the extreme, clad in a Diesel-designed cowboy costume with fabric head to toe by Brunschwig and Fils. We sang songs from 'High Society' to 'Taupe' - a reinvention of Madonna's Vogue - all penned by the insanely talented Russell Penn. We were produced by the ever patient Matthew Gordon from MJE productions, whose next production is the much awaited GHOST.
So what happened? Evil wicked Queen Cassandra (Tim Gosling, resplendent in a Pucci catsuit) banished everything beautiful including Snow White so that the mirror on the wall - Bill Bennette - would utter those unutterable words. And as we meander from Panto to Panto its "Designers to the rescue - Yay!" all the way...
Classy - Joanna Wood; Dapper - Lavinia Dargie; Snappy - Andrew Wright; Snazzy - Charlotte Lane Fox; Natty - Caroline Lawson; Dizzy - Trevor Pickett and Taupey, played by myself. MAD INDEED!
The whole event was run to benefit Dementia UK - please do check out their website here!
