Hi I'm Sophie Thompson, and this is my sixth year in the show. Being the ripe old age of 21, people often ask me what draws me back to Gang Show year after year, and as Katie mentioned in her diary entry, it is the truly addictive, exciting nature of the show that means the majority of cast members each year are practically gang show veterans! With the cut off age now set at 25, I am keen to participate in the cast as much as I possibly can, before hanging up my jazz shoes to help out backstage. So, with 21 days left until the opening night, everyone to do with the St Albans Gang Show is, as expected, working busily away… be it with words, scenery or trying to manage 120-odd unruly cast members!

So things are a bit tense at rehearsals these days, as it is every year. So in order to lighten the mood a little, myself along with a few others, decided it’d be a good idea to attend a full Sunday rehearsal dressed in our pyjamas! Needless to say it bought a smile to everyone’s face and kick-started what was a very productive rehearsal! So things are starting to take shape now, especially the opening, which promises to be full of energy and excitement… and with our first rehearsal at the arena in just four days, there ‘aint no stopping us!'
