What an absolutely epic end to the year!!! When ❤️(Folu & Liesl) and asked if I could produce a pop up experiential to celebrate the success of the show Wednesday IN SEVEN DAYS, I said yes, of course (possibly because I like the stress but more likely because I love the show!) We couldn’t have anticipated how popular it would be, with queues around the block of over three hours… we welcomed over 1800 guests across three days. As ever, wouldn’t have been even marginally possible without the faith and wonderful leadership of , but we also brought on some of the best suppliers in the business to bring our “Gloomy Grotto” to life… these include (but are by no means limited to) and who worked over a weekend to pull an idea together, for providing AMAZING theatrical baristas who made over 1000 hot drinks each day and never broke character, the wonderfully talented team at who brought each character from the series to life with such commitment, for the professional and speedy job on the vinyl, for excellent costume/styling, for all things wigs (and for my cheeky free hair cut), for making everyone look half dead, and his photography team for the photos you see before you (and a video to come), for supplying the 1960s Cadillac hearse, for all our AV needs, Martin from SFEX for turning round 1,000 “Thing” tree ornaments in three days, , all the actors who didn’t come through Hels but I don’t have your accounts, Amelia the Cellist, but maybe most importantly the committed and hard working women who all pulled this off - and (and the aforementioned Meg)… loved every minute of working with you all, now it’s time for a Christmas break.
