Hayley Quinn Cooper if i write in a wedding scene, i'll let you know, but i don't want to write it in just for the sake of a dress change :P sorry but if it doesn't fit, i won't put it in, but i will really try to get it on at the end, but just for the sake of dress changes, and time and fitting it in with the storyline, i can't say for sure yet if we have one or not, i'll try to put one in as hard as i can xD i'll let you know as soon as i do (:

Abbi Ellingworth just an idea.. i thought it would be more pantoy... and i thought the wedding was at the end anyway?

Hayley Quinn Cooper yeah, it would be a bit odd to put it in the middle xD if i can get the wedding in, i will, but the dress change thing may be tricky, besides let's not concentrate on costume too much at this point, we don't want it taking priority xD i love costume and stuff (: you know i do, but we gotta wait until everything else is sorted (:

Sarah Sharp I know i know, It just seems a nice ending, they get married, 'oh no' shock horror when the realise they have to go back to their own homes, Alice comes up with a solution, writes in a new page, sing and dance to finish HAPPY DAYS xx

Hayley Quinn Cooper okay, do you still want the change from the rag dress to the normal cinerella dress, or do you want to just keep the rags til the wedding?

Hayley Quinn Cooper we could have the wedding dress underneath the rags, but it can't be too big, or we won't be able to hide it well at all

Hayley Quinn Cooper If we do that, the bride throws the bouquet, which is caught either by one of the bad guys, or by alice, causing everyone to look, realising the bad guys are just about to kidnap her

Hayley Quinn Cooper baisdbas but i don't have an ended yet, i've put it so that the prince refuses to carry on without a wife, hence the impromptu marriage, which aggrivates the white queen because she wants to get on and find the pages, causing her to say the vicars lines as quickly as she can, so that she can hardly be understood, and then we have the audience help by saying "I now pronounce you man and wife" as loud as they can, and then the flowers get thrown, then they see alice, then the bad guys, then she gets kidnapped, end of act one :P I GOTS IT ALL PLANNED OUT

Hayley Quinn Cooper Considering we have so much other stuff to cover, like the fight scene near the end, all pantos need a fight scene! Over who gets the pages, and the red and white queen having a bitch off xD ending in the red queen losing when fairy gee casts the "BIPPETY BOPPETY BOOBS" spell, and then promptly popping one of her balloon boobs, causing her to flee wonderland in shame, leaving the pages and the book behind, and the rest of the characters to follow her, and then the good characters of wonderland say their final goodbyes, -insert some sort of heartfelt lovely scene here- and the reattaching of the pages, but i may add the thing where they all agree to meet up on this day every year

Sarah Sharp It just seems very 'get the prince and princess married and done with as soon as possible' :/ i dont mean to sound like im having a go... it just seems like you've put everything into one half when actually it would make a good ending... i know you've got the hardest job here but its gonna be really difficult to direct...

Hayley Quinn Cooper it won't be really, i've planned everything out to the final detail, it's just i don't think it should end on that, because the story isn't about the relationship of cinderella and prince charming, it's about getting the characters back to wonderland, besides, i'm already talking to james about these things anyway, as us two are going to have to work together alot to sort it all and make sure we know what we are doing

Hayley Quinn Cooper Yes, but you're forgetting, that this story is about alice in wonderland, and it seems to rather distract from the plotline if we just plop that at the end, it was enough of a stretch as it was putting a wedding in at all, i'm trying to see what i can do, but i just don't feel that it works
