Rachel Is Home!














Wow! We've just received this fantastic update from Rachel and we're still shaking!

There is lots of information and even a mention for Jmor's fan video!

Enough from me -- here is the lady herself:


Hello there everyone, well I'm back from the nicest weeks holiday EVER!

So relaxing and just what we both needed, so nice in fact we want to make that one of the places to go on our honeymoon!(notice how i say ONE).

Yes I came back to a whirlwind of phone calls and radio interviews about my good news- which im delighted to say all you guys were the first to know before any paper of radio station!! So there!

I would have loved to let you know personally in a blog but time last weekend was nowhere to be seen!

I found out on Thursday up at Sydmonton-with all the girls which was really lovely and a very special moment because they were all so happy for me and we've shared so much together, but of course I had no time to get on a computer and tell you guys personally!

So I called Karen to tell David to tell you!

Well as you know I open on Mon 22 september with other new cast members, some of whom i know from before, so that was nice to hear.

Rehearsals start 18 Aug and I CANT BLOODY WAIT!

So excited and nervous and scared, I sometimes think I'll forget what to do!Hope not! So more to be posted about that nearer the time.

Now onto the Workshop-in a word WOW! I just experienced something that I'll probably never experience again.

The girls and myself had the funnest, exciting, nerve wracking experience (after Nancy) ever!

I was very grateful and honoured to be asked to play a part in this fascinating piece. It was a wonderful experience to be a part of this exciting rehearsal process.

So on to our Cabaret -- well we all loved it and it was fantastic to be up performing with the girls again.

We did a group number, and then one by one we did a song of our choice that was beautifully choreographed.

Sam opened with 'Wizard and I' then Jessie with 'Man That Got Away', then Ashley-'Big Spender' then me with Cabaret, of course! Niamh did 'Maybe I like it This Way' and Jodie finished with 'Send in The Clowns'.

It was a great show and very well recieved by all and I'm very proud to put this on my CV.

So thats really all the low down on my latest news, nothing more to say and sorry if i've went on a bit but lots to fill you in on!

So bye for now and i hope you're enjoying the site, must say the footage by Jmor really got me and I thought was so true to me so thanks for that!

x love Rachel.

Wowh! Andy I couldn't have put it better than you! Felt just like you did after reading Rachel's experiences at Sydmonton. Still trying to take it all in! That 'wee girl from Belfast' is starting to be recognised by the powers that be in the musical theatre world. If Rachel reads this, my message to her - Can't wait to see you 'break a leg' on your opening night in WWRY. Enjoy this wonderful exciting time in your career. YOU so deserve it!
x Chris
PS Would love to say hello and a personal thank you to Andy,David and Karen for this wonderful site. Maybe at Rachel's 1st night? I'll be sitting in the stalls with my family - just some of Rachel's greatest fans!

Well thank you Rachel, very very much!! It means a lot to me that you liked the video, and saying it was true to you would probably be one of the best comments I've ever recieved!

Let alone it coming from the person I made it for just WOW has had me in smiles all day!

Sydmonton sounded like a great experience and I'm 100% sure WWRY will be your favorite thrill ride!

Aww yay for a new update! These make me happy :)

Sounds like Sydmonton was a complete blast (as it should be!)!

Can't say I have tickets for the 22nd booked...sigh. I hate living in the states at times like these! BUT! I will be over there by January (God Willing) so I'll just have to make up for it and see it like...eight...ten...twelve...times :)

I cannot put into words what it means to me and David to have you contributing to the blog Rachel.

I am so delighted everything is working out so perfectly for you because no one is more deserving of success.

Sydmonton sounds like an amazing experience and I bet you were the belle of the ball.

I'm also glad that you had such a fantastic holiday and hopefully you have now recharged your batteries ahead of what’s sure to be a hectic few weeks.

My Birthday is on September 21st and this year I'll be getting the best present possible - albeit a day late - watching you perform in 'We Will Rock You' on your opening night.

I never thought I'd be so happy to turn 31 lol. I can't wait.
