Hey!
Andrew from ONS here (the pianist). We’ve been in Edinburgh for about two weeks now and been having a blast. Yesterday was our first day off after performing eleven straight shows and many of us took that opportunity to sleep in and see shows that typically conflict with our time slot. Kobi and I saw the show “Charlie Victor Romeo,” which was derived entirely from “Black Box” transcripts of real-life aircraft emergencies. I highly recommend seeing it if you don’t plan on flying ever again. Afterwards, we went and saw Tim Minchin, who did not disappoint and served as a nice contrast to the previous show where every scene ended with catastrophe and death. Particularly brilliant was his song about marriage and finding that perfect someone, which managed to encapsulate my views on the subject by means of an over-the-top R&B spectacle. His onstage persona is wonderfully endearing and he happens to be a great showman at the piano. Go see him if you haven’t yet.
As for tonight, I’m extremely excited to get back to doing shows. Our first batch went well and we’re all looking forward to continually taking the show to a new level. Also, if anyone would like me to throw in little snippets of various songs from musicals in any of the shows, please feel free to let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
There will be more pictures and videos so keep checking back. For those of you who don’t want us to leave Edinburgh, rest assured that I’ll be staying here forever, mainly because I don’t plan on boarding an airplane ever again.
Love and pianos,
Andrew
