Swan Lake On Ice - Theatre
Royal Glasgow 23rd-27th January
2007

ITV's new series of
Dancing On Ice had an audience of
9million viewers. And they really don't
know what they are missing because,
although the Theatre Royal could never
hold all 9 million (unless the show ran
for 6000 nights!), they would all have
been amazed by the skating on show in
this performance.

You
probably know by now that I'm covering the
Oscars next month live to your inbox from
Hollywood. I've got a room booked in the "home
of the Academy" and I've already got breakfast
meetings setup with the director
of Les Miserables, a Hollywood film
director and two presenters of a
popular Italian TV programme. If you are
registered with alerts@uktheatre.net
then I will send as many blogs and pics as I
can over the weekend to give an inside and
exclusive view of Hollywood's annual
celebration of film making.
Who do I think will win ? The Queen and
Helen Mirren. Last King of Scotland and Forest
Whitaker. I would like to have seen Will Smith
but he never got through on the BAFTAs which
surprised me.
Here's a link to the reviews I did earlier this
month.

This is developing
well and I've been asked to create a concept
for a new single for a major band. They
might not choose my ideas but just to be asked is
exciting. I'm currently looking for a big name
film director to work with. I can't say more
than that for now.
Opportunities
Some good opportunities came in
this week for performers around the UK. Gold
