The STARs Were Out Tonight

Last night was Jamie's big cabaret night with STARS - the musical theatre training program she's in, run by our friends Ken and Christie and featuring instructors who are currently working in the West End theatres (mostly as either actors or dancers). Her and the group of students have been rehearsing for the big night for weeks, and it certainly paid off.

Jamie headed straight to the venue after work - it was held on a converted barge on the river near Battersea. I stopped off at home to take care of the kiddos before making my own way over. The barge itself was actually really nice, with a fantastic view and a fully stocked bar and kitchen.

The show was completely sold out and the audience was treated to a few hours of song and humour from some really excellent performers (Jamie, in particular, stood out) - two to watch out for are Abigail who really should be on the West End stages already and Daniela, who despite being only 15, has the most amazing voice.
