Hi everyone!
Thank you for all the feedback from the last entry! And guys if your reading this and don't have an account then please make one so you can comment, it's easy and safe. You can make an account with your twitter account too!!
Anyway this chapter is about Mamma Mia! Woo! Love it!!! I recently went to see the stage show actually and it was amazing! It really was. A week ago Friday I was sitting in Cafe Nero near the Mamma Mia! Theatre sipping my hot chocolate; which I must say was very nice!! :D tweeting about where I was and I asked people what they thought about the show, and I was getting a mixture of responses. But I really recommend you go see it if you haven't already!
What do you think of the movie? As you may know or guessed; I LOVE it, if I could I would marry it. Oh hang on, is that a bit far?! :S who cares! I would!!! I would marry it as quickly as B would marry Pierce Brosnan!!
( :P ) haha! Sorry just had to add that in, but don't get me wrong people! She DOES love her husband! Anyway this entry isn't ment to be about B and who she loves it's about Mamma Mia and I.
I have a story I would like to share with you all, I know some people know as I told them as soon as my contract ended but others don't know but I know for sure you will love it!!
As you know I'm an (Out of work) actor and I go to a full time drama school but one day in 2007 in assembly we got told that a lady was coming in to cast for a movie that she's making, and if course we all got exited!! Our head of year went on to explain that it was a musical, and she was casting girls and boys for the choir in some songs but would also be looking out for extras for some scenes, "Great!" I thought, "Some woman is coming in to cast for a musical and I can't flipping sing!" but this woman came into my singing class and gave us all a letter saying if we had parents permission we were going to be the movies choir! Omg! Can you believe it?! (I hope some of you are starting to catch on now XD)
So came the day that me and 40ish others pushed and shoved onto the coach up to the recording studio (Cant remember what it's called :S eeek!) My friend (Who sadly no-longer with us) sat next to me on the coach; I remember the whole coach was singing ABBA really loudly, thank god we didn't have the windows open eh!
Finally we arrived at the studio, just imagine the excitement we were all feeling, we got introduced to one of the main characters (Who no-one knew in the UK at this point) her name was Amanda. Amanda Seyfried. She seemed pretty and funny. Not to long later we were all standing in clumps with microphones in front of us. Nerves shook through us all. The introduction started. Amanda started singing.... "I have a dream, a song to sing.." this is it I thought to myself. "...I believe in angels." This was it our Que.! We all opened our mouths and started to sing.....
When ever I look back or listen to this song I always get a smile on my face. It was my 5 minuets of fame; I know it was.
I did get to sing in the choir in other songs too I was in the older choir, and they performed in Honey Honey as backing-singers, Mamma Mia, Take a chance on me, Dancing queen and Does your mother know, but sadly I only got to meet Amanda, I did see Julie Walters though, she was entering the studio as we left. God, only if I was a streeper back then, I diffidently would of appreciated being in the same song as Meryl a lot more!!!
But I sadly wasn't able to tell you all as in the letter that my parents had to sign it also said I wasn't allowed to tell people who was in the choir :L! Tell me about it! It's stupid! Something to do with universal studios! But yay! It finally ended a couple of months ago and I forgot!
Anyway I hope you enjoyed me blubbering on about rubbish! Lol, but can you guys do me a favour??! TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT! Pwwwwz! The more comments I get the quicker it will be for an update! But I am going back to school this week :( and I'm going to get lots of course work but I will try my hardest to update! And I'm going to be boarding at my school (Staying over night) for a few weeks too.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT ME TO WRITE ABOUT??! TELL ME! BUT IT HAS TO BE CONNECTED TO MERYL!
Love you guys so much
