A Fringe Quickie (#528) with ‘Georgina Thomas: Hysterical Soprano’

Questions answered by Georgina Thomas.

Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars

Bribery, misinformation, kidnappings… and that’s just for previews.

Q2: We all have weird pre-performance rituals. What is yours, and how confused would a normal person be if they walked in on you doing it?

My show features operatic singing. I have certain warm-up techniques and exercises that if someone were walking past my dressing room, they might get the wrong idea.

Q3: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?

My show would be that one guy in the corner who’s brought the guitar. Asking people if they want them to sing, and even when they say no, playing it anyway.

Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?

The morning after? My audiences will be haunted for the rest of their lives by my sharp wit and sweet dulcet tones.
