Oliver! was pretty awesome, I daresay. So I know that I've been complaining and whining for months and months about how crap it was gonna be, but honestly, I can say without a doubt that the Oliver! family pulled it off.
Oliver was more than just a Hurlstone musical. It's my second last year of school, and yeah, suuuure, I should be studying and whatnot, but after tonight, I know that my last two years of school are about the moments when I'm talking, laughing and getting to know people. This musical brought me closer to so many people, and gave me so many more memories to treasure. Every time we were on stage, or on the wings, or backstage, everyone was so friendly and encouraging; it was overwhelming.
so I'm sitting here, typing, and feeling absolutely gutted that its over. I had so much fun performing with the whole cast and crew.
So here's to you guys, my Oliver family:Thank you so so so so so so much. The three days from the 23rd-25th of June have been the best days of the year so far for me. You are all so talented in singing, dancing and acting, and it was such an honour to perform with all of you. The six hour weekend rehearsals, the wednesday rehearsals and missing four days of school was more than worth it; I DON'T CARE IF I FAIL YEAR 11, I HAVE ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED ALL I'VE EVER WANTED IN YEAR 11 THANKS TO OLIVER. THANKS TO YOU GUYS. YOU ALL MADE IT SO WORTHWHILE AND SO MUCH FUN. I have gotten to know some of you quite well, and if it weren't for Oliver, I would have just looked at you as a little snotrag junior LOLOL JOOOKES. But just wow, it's been an amazing experience. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I CAN REPAY YOU ALL. THANK YOU SO MUCH, I WILL NEVER FORGET OLIVER. ALL OF YOU HAVE SUCH A BIG PLACE IN MY HEART.
All my love,
Holly.
