2020 [take 2]
GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES
The sixth 24 Hour Musical Project, originally scheduled for 2020, was finally held 2 - 3 October 2021.
2 Oct 6pm
After postponing the 2020 Project due to Covid, we FINALLY kick off the show that had been in various stages of planning for almost 2 years! The second Project in 2021, in another new venue, with our biggest cast yet. It was time to see if Diamonds really are a girl’s best friend…
all aboard...
While the crew rehearsed scene changes and the orchestra played through the score, the cast started learning French. This classic show threw a few surprises at us all and everyone had so much to get through.
The team pulled together at the run-through and with a light-hearted cest la vie, the boat was (somewhat) ready to leave the dock.

The curtain rose and the ship sailed with a hearty Bon Voyage!
Plenty of mishaps brought the comedy to this Musical Comedy. Led by our fabulous Lorelei and Dot, we all got through the waves and docked in France. The lengthy Park Scene tested the linguistic and balletic skills of our cast, and the luscious score floated above the Seine.
In the second half plenty more comedy and mishap, and an unforgettable tap number eventually took us back to New York and a happy ending.
