Welcome to the Cambridge Theater in the heart of common garden.

This is the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company's Matilda, the musical.

I just thought I would sneak you back stage and show you way are inside.

We've just come through the box office and this here.

This area is called to us to the cast is called the Banana run.

Basically, while you're in there watching the show, you have no idea there are people ripping off their clothes, changing into new ones dotted all around dresses, running mad If they've forgotten something, running back and forth and back and forth on that's all happening while you're in there watching people on stage thing.

She plays Mrs Phelps, So she sits over there.

So when I've got the wig on and then I've got this around the bottom, it's I feel a little bit like a weeble kind of wobbling around.

This is her her lovely, lovely faux leather coat.

What she wears out about done on my street, I suppose I'm not my style, but I arrive at the theater, usually about half an hour before warm up.

We have a voluntary voice warm up 15 minutes before we have a physical warm up where everybody joins in.

I have to get my wig on quite early, so I do warm up and then I have to get my wig on.

Before what we call the half hour call, I go upto wigs, which I think I might take you up.

Yeah, we'll take up to see weeks in a minute.

Um, I'll show you Thea the huge we've of hair that I have to get on my head.

It's going kind of walk around with a crypt neck in.

She's absolutely massive, and this is really heavy.

People don't think it's very hungry, but you put it on in your head kind of like that on.

Then you got try and dance around and turn.

Okay, so the weeks of human fat everything you see here won't be like what's come?

Trust me on this one, you should take about an hour to do for the longest Dukes will the extra hair that goes into it.

So this is all set set this privacy dressed out.

This goes up and down the back to create the really long hair back.

It's just me, Major is If there wasn't enough hair in it, they stick Maurine.

So I hope that you've had fun and that we've managed to show you a little bit of what you didn't know went on short cuts and quick changes on all sorts.

We're at the Cambridge Theater in Common Garden.
