A couple of Christmas' ago I played the Ghost of Christmas Future in Scrooge. I walked on drywall stilts then... with the aide of a long black staff to keep my balance and a hoop around the bottom of the robe to keep it from tangling up in the stilt legs....

It was an experience walking with them since I had never done anything like that before... Luckily I didn't have to walk to far on stage and once I got there I didn't have to do too much movement.

I did learn however that I'm not that great with heights and that even though Razzle Dazzle always has his head in the clouds he will keep his feet planted firmly on the ground
