Having never seen this show,
I absolutely love this song and now cannot get it out of my head.
Due to the current circumstances, The Waitress has now
closed in the West End, but we wanted to keep it alive with our rendition of ‘Bad
Idea’
Here I am hamming it up as Dr Jim with my daughter Lisa
Bridge starring as Jenna.
I actually raided my husband’s wardrobe for most of my
outfit, but the gorgeous waitress dress from our store was perfect for Jenna –
we just added a little badge.
The wigs are something else ……
Filmed within the backdrop and confines of our kitchen, we
thought this could be taken as a diner.
We hope you enjoy ……
Here we are; one owner of Admiral Costumes - costumier and supplier of theatrical costumes and Fancy Dress to schools and theatres throughout the UK; and my daughter Lisa Bridge, West End Performer who until last week was in Only Fools and Horses the musical.
With Only Fools and Horses theatre darkened until further notice and all shows cancelled throughout the UK, we have a west end performer and a costumier in total lockdown.
In the space of a week we suddenly find ourselves with no work, no phone calls, no plans, no shows, no costume making, no rehearsals, no income and no life.
The diary gets wiped - it is a total shock.
But hey, aren't we so lucky? We have each other and a shed load of costumes.
This is what happens when you leave two creatives locked up together with time on their hands ......
A series of 'Isolation Musicals'
Enjoy!
Day 1 - Grease
As theatres go dark and productions are cancelled up and down the UK, it is vital that performers and theatre associated companies explore every avenue to keep their customers and audience members entertained during the lock down.
Never has entertainment been so necessary and it will be the creative amongst us who devise ingenious ways of amusing ourselves and the public.
The industry has been turned on its head - instead of punters going to the entertainment, the entertainment has to go to the punter. This is not easy but it is amazing what can be achieved through social media, youtube and blogging.
As the proprietor of Admiral Costumes I have been unbelievably lucky to be in isolation with my daughter, west end performer, Lisa Bridge, in total lockdown with a huge store of costumes.
we have been amusing ourselves with a series of 'Isolation Musicals' filmed around the house using everyday items from the home.
So far we have made two minute clips from The Sound of Music, West Side Story, The Waitress and Grease with a request for Sweeny Todd.
We hope this will entertain our customers and business partners, whilst showcasing our range of superb costumes.
Putting a smile on peoples faces during this unprecedented time.
