LCB Nanny McPhee casting

[kiwimum6]

Any other forum members at Dance Attic with their DCs next Sunday? I will be there with my 14 year old ds. Thought it might be a chance to meet some forum members.

looks like you'll have to take some 'ballet.co.uk forum' flyers to Dance Attic.

I will be there with dd who is 9, so first time for us. She is so thrilled to be in it, she's been going to see the LCB productions since she was 6 and even back then she couldn't wait to be old enough to audition! Kiwimum6, has your ds been in it before?

[kiwimum6]

Hi sashbee

Will message you.

Hi all,

If you are thinking of getting tickets for this production , I would do it sooner rather than later. I went to book some the other day and was shocked by how many had been sold already.

Last year I tried to buy tickets to see'secret Garden' but was too late. Glad I got some this year.

This is obviously going to appeal .....

Super article. Thank u for posting.

What a lovely article, thank you for posting the link, tutoo2much. The only part I didn't like was the mention by the journalist of "Fattypuffs and Thinnifers". Not nice!

 

I had no idea Lucille Briance set up LCB because her dd had the "wrong" feet and knees for vocational school. How lovely.

 

Chookas to everyone involved for Nanny McPhee! :-)

A very interesting article.Thanks for posting it.

i really liked the article but did not like the repeated use of 'co-stars' and 'fattypuffys and thinifers' i dont think there should be comments about the childrens size especially as they are all under 16 and very influenced by comments like this

[sophika9899]

Yes, I too couldn't quite believe what I was reading when I came across fattypuffs and thinifers. What a thing to say! There are so many ways of saying "there were children there of all body types" . Honestly!

[Circe]

Terrible words to use, not least as the article is likely to be shown to the children.

[JulieW]

I missed that phrase on my first scan through the article. I'm appalled actually!

[Anna C]

I would urge people to comment below the article should they feel strongly enough.

It's a real shame the editor chose those words because I thought it was a lovely article.
