Carol Singing on the Causeway

We all got in the festive spirit with mulled wine, hot chestnuts and oh yes, a few carols were sung too. As usual, a lovely evening.

I shall be bringing in my 'Extras' from 14 February. So far I am planning on Wendy as Maman, the pianist, a Resistance girl and a lady German soldier. 

Sonia will be a Resistance girl, a rose seller, a peasant in the cinema and in the cafe. 

Guy and David will be French peasants (cafe/cinema), airmen, German soldiers

 

Act I Sc. 1 Wendy - Maman, Sonia (as Resistance friend of Michelle), Guy and David as British airmen

Act I Sc 5 Wendy - pianist, Sonia and David in cafe

Act I Sc 7 Wendy - pianist,  Sonia - rose-seller

 

Act II Sc 1 Wendy - Maman, Guy and David - British airmen

Act II Sc 6  Sonia and David as French peasants in cinema

Act II Sc 7 Guy and David as German Soldiers, then French peasants in cafe

 

I still need measurements for a number of people, please.  Especially those who will be needing a uniform, as we'll have to hire some.
