What a lovely few days it's been here in Colchester.  Just to be able to sit in the garden for a few minutes with the sunshine and blue sky is a great mood enhancer.

It's another of Michael's "final" nights in Hairspray on Saturday, meaning that at one point we all thought this would be his final week in the show, but luckily Michael extended for another 3 months so we still have plenty of time until we have to say goodbye to Edna.  It should be a very busy stage door on Saturday with many fans having already purchased their tickets before he announced the extension, so no doubt we will see lots of familiar faces in the crowd.
