A Message from the Excited Latecomer

by James Reid (Guest Blogger)

My name is James Reid and I perform as a pit and club singer in the upcoming production of Saturday Night Fever. As a latecomer to the cast I've missed a lot of the earlier rehearsals. This means I still don't know a lot of names. What it also means is that I have walked into an almost completed show with my jaw dragging on the ground at the talent in the room. As one of the "older" generation, I grew up with the Bee Gees. I even owned the vinyl of Saturday Night Fever (for you youngens, vinyl is what we used to listen to before Mr CD and Mr MP3 changed the music world). To be able to sing these songs with the vocal and musical talent we have at RMT is a great thrill. And of course I get to work with our wonderful Musical Director, Sherree. Enough said!
