<br />
We have had a great time at The Junction performing Hansel & Gretel over the festive period. On Tuesday 3 January we had our final two shows, and have now packed away all of the set, and returned the costumes and equipment we used during the run (including the snow machine!)<br />
<br />
Many thanks to everyone who came to see the show and we have enjoyed hearing your feedback.<br />
<br />
We plan to tour this show in the future, so please visit www.nie-theatre.com for more information in the coming months on where it might turn up next!<br />

We still have 2 more shows tomorrow before the new year and 2 more days of shows in 2012, so if you haven't done so already, don't miss your chance to catch it in Cambridge!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222763343068973855.post-48837665608385529382011-12-28T03:41:00.000-08:002011-12-28T04:41:46.640-08:00Spotlight on Live MusicAnyone who has already been to see the show will know live music plays an important role in our version of Hansel and Gretel. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thejunctioncambridge/6498802073/" title="NIE: Hansel and Gretel 07 Dec - 03 Jan Production Photos by The Junction, Cambridge, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7004/6498802073_aa78eb4a23.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="NIE: Hansel and Gretel 07 Dec - 03 Jan Production Photos"></a><br />
<br />
No less than seven pieces of original music feature in the one hour show – four songs and three pieces of incidental music which are used to to set a scene or introduce a new character. All composed by musician and cast member Carly Davis who plays the witch. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thejunctioncambridge/6498762373/" title="NIE: Hansel and Gretel 07 Dec - 03 Jan Production Photos by The Junction, Cambridge, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7014/6498762373_aa643755c6.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="NIE: Hansel and Gretel 07 Dec - 03 Jan Production Photos"></a><br />
<br />
Right from the start of the development stages of the show we wanted our version of Hansel and Gretel to have a european folk music feel with Director Alex very much wanting the music to take the audience on a journey. With this in mind Carly went on to create lots of different songs and music to reflect the show's story, these were then edited down and developed in the rehearsal process (and according to which cast members could play which instruments). <br />
<br />
We use a lot of instruments in the show – guitar, ukulele, accordian, double bass, trombone, clarinet, recorder, drum sticks (making drums out of the set) and glockenspiel. The show's winter forest set certainly provides lots of handy resting places for these...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thejunctioncambridge/6498749799/" title="NIE: Hansel and Gretel 07 Dec - 03 Jan Production Photos by The Junction, Cambridge, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7148/6498749799_0a90c39250.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="NIE: Hansel and Gretel 07 Dec - 03 Jan Production Photos"></a><br />
<br />
All five cast members have musicial backgrounds but even they had to learn to play some new instruments for the show. For instance, Mia who plays Hansel and Gretel's Norwegian stepmother can play very well the trombone and clarinet so both are used in the show, but she has also learnt some bits of music on the double bass so she plays that at some points as well.<br />
<br />
The result? Listen to two songs from the show 'Breadcrumbs' and 'All the food was gone' below to find out... <br />

</div>This weekend was a busy one for the team with final rehearsals, set get in and the Mill Road Winter Fair on Saturday ...<br />
<br />
Now in its sixth year, Mill Road Winter Fair is an annual Cambridge event held in the Mill Road area of the city featuring arts and craft stalls, lots of street food and live performances including our very own Hansel and Gretel cast members Mia, Unai and Carly who entertained the crowds with live music from the show. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We also had a information stall at the fair decked out with photos, props and more information about the show. Our Hansel and Gretel balloons were such a big hit with younger fair goers we actually ran out (don't worry we have ordered more). Big thanks to our fantastic flyers Ed, Rachel and Alice for all their help on the day also!<br />
