THE ODYSSEY CONTINUED
THE MUSIC
When I joined the Odyssey cast and crew , I never thought it would have such a profound impact on me . My role was assistant music director , so I mainly worked with the band and the actors on the scenes with songs ( such as ’ Mr Blue Sky ’, ’ Hope ’ and ’ All These Things That I ’ ve Done ’). Combining music and drama was a challenge but getting the chance to work with the cast to portray emotions through singing , as well as acting , was absolutely amazing . I ’ m so grateful to have had the opportunity to see how incredibly the entire cast improved throughout the play from the very beginning to the last performance . Not only did we grow together , but we also grew into a family , with the older and younger years forming great friendships . My most memorable moment was the last night : we were all exhausted from the previous performances , but everyone gave it their absolute best , and dancing all together on stage at the end for the last time was a feeling I ’ ve never felt before . It was unquestionably an experience that I will never forget .
