We haven't yet decided where we are gonna perform the musical simply because we wanted to gather a cast (or atleast a few more members) first. It will be somewhere in England, most likely (but not definately) somewhere south/middle-ish. But we really don't know yet, it all depends on what the cast wants. Personally I'm from Sweden and will travel/live wherever it's decided we will perform. Lauren is from Bristol, but willing to travel as well. I understand that this may be a prediciment for some of our younger cast but if necessary I'm sure we can sort transport out somehow. Due to the large distances between out members we will not (as it looks right now) have weekly practices. Instead we'll try to place the performance during a schoolbreak or such and have more of an intense practice beforehand. This will mean that you will need to learn your part at home. This is where the internet comes in handy, we will be able to have script-discussion online, as well as post videos of the dances that each member will need to learn. If you are lucky enough to own a webcam we can even practice the script/dancing/singing/etc face to face. This is a very big project, and we will start out smaller, attending a few cons and expos and such to gather more interest. It takes A LOT of planning for a project like this and it's nothing something we'll be able to do in a week or so, most likely we'll not put on the actual show until next year. Hopefully it won't be longer than that tho, because that'd suck! I wanna be on stage tomorrow! ^_^ Please feel free to ask more questions.

If it's in the holadays, then travling isn't really a problem. it's just the cost that i'm worried about (If i do get in)

Haha, I'm horrified about the cost! I'm not gonna begin explaining how expensive this whole thing will be cuz then I might never shut up about it, but at the same time I can't help it. This is something I feel very passionate about and I know that we can make it great. ^_^ As for costs for the castmembers it shouldn't be too great. But that does of course depend on your income, and knowing England and EMA etc I'm guessing it's not much for most students. But we will try to keep the cost as low as possible for you guys. Or atleast we'll try to make spread it out as much as possible so that it's not one big KABLAMMO cashdrop. And I'm sure you'll get in! ^_^ I'll post some information about auditions etc (it was up on the website but seeing as it's not finished yet )

It should be possible when there are more members to have gatherings/training sessions with those who live near eachother in between the rare full-cast occasions. Maybe anime/japan cons (convents?) in the country where you are can be used (the expo in may that Lauren and Debbs are going to, and so on...) Debbs and I and other eventual scandinavians could probably meet up at some of the bigger Swedish cons. (Uppcon maybe?) And as I understand it, we are in no hurry. As long as everyone is determined, this project will continue growing in its own pace.

Haha, sorry I didn't mean cons in japan! I just didn't know what english words too use. >< I just meant ordinary convents where all todays japanized youth gather and cosplay, watch anime an socialize. Heh. My english is not what it could be, so we have months of misunderstanding ahead of us, dear castmembers!

Aaah, my thoughts exactly. Hihi, we'll start out by meeting up, and all members who can meet up in their spare time should of course try to do so! And like I said, if one of you has a videocamera it would be greatly appreciated if you'd film a session every now and then to show us your progress. Excellent Claire! We'll meet you there then! Me and Lauren will be going as well as performing both days, all in the name of Chasin After Myu! ^_^ And Olivia, I'd LOVE to meet up with you at a Swedish Con! That'd BE LIKE SO TOTALLY AAAAWESOME (yes, i'm being american today )

Well I lived in England til last June and I pretty much visit every now and then, I've got so many off my friends still there. Used to have a boyfriend there, but that didn't work out when I moved back to Sweden. I'm not planning a trip before Xmas, but seeing as I still have a lot of things at said ex-boyfriend I will be coming Jan-Feb possible. And of course in May.

Awesome Debbs, that's a total deal then! (Even I can play the american card, hehe ^^) karaseechakra: Thanks! I tend to loose control over the words somehow... I like french though, i studied it for two years. Some of the songs in this musical have french terms, so an ability to pronounce them "ze french way" is kinda nice, right!?
