ALL ABOARD.....

H.M.S WARRIOR!

This time last week we're stepping off of dry land and working with a brand new client H.M.S Warrior in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard. We had been booked to entertain with our bespoke performance pieces at their prestigious 'Summer Ball'

HMS Warrior really is such an amazing venue and of course we were so excited to be working onboard and given the task to fill the event with lots of amazing treats for the guests that were attending. 

Our girls were first staged at the entrance to the ship and on the jetty to welcome the glamorous guests aboard. With two showgirlz high up on or signature stilts they certainly set the scene for a night of glitz and glamour ahead of the 'Cabaret' themed evening. A lot of the guests wanted photos with our girls and with the stunning scenery and beautiful ship in the background who could blame them?

We also had two more stunning showgirlz in different feathered costumes on foot, assisting the captain when greeting the passengers onto the top deck. With feathers, sequins and smiles our girlz started the evening off in true show stopping style. 

As the night continued the guests had a wonderful three course dinner and were treated to a Rat Pack style singer to entertain them whilst they ate. Also on the ship was a photographer, our good friend and sensational singer Rachel as well as a casino for everyone to enjoy. 

Whilst the guests enjoyed their three courses it was our teams job to help with the evening's raffle. Picking winners, handing out prizes and posing for photos our girlz really can help with any little extras you have at your event. 

Lastly it was our turn to perform. With the length of the ship filled with tables of guests our girlz spread along the lower deck ready for their number. In an amongst all of the historic artefacts in this fabulous setting we performed to 'Diamond's Are A Girls Best Friend'. Our high kicks, splits, and dazzling choreography certainly got the attention of the passengers as they stopped eating their dessert to watch the girlz strut their stuff in style. 

We had a great evening on board such an amazing ship and with lots more themes and ideas in the pipeline we can't wait to hopefully be back very soon!

Big thank you to all the staff at HMS Warrior for making us feel so welcome :-)

LADIES IN RED!!

RED SHOWGIRLS EVERYWHERE!

Manic have had such a busy week this week with Showgirlz, performers and brand ambassadors all over the South Coast. 

After showcasing our new red showgirl costumes at Tiger Tiger a couple of weeks ago they have been in high demand ever since. 

Firstly 2 of our girlz headed to Southampton to the beautiful Grand Harbour Hotel to meet and greet the excited year 11 students of Wildern School as they arrived in style to attend their school prom.

 From limos to fire engines, sports cars to ambulances and even a tractor towing a trailor full of year 11 boys the students really did arrive in a variety or eye catching ways and the many friends and families waiting for them to arrive watched on to see just what was pulling up next. 

With an amazing vegas themed prom our showgirls lined the red carpet to welcome the student alongside the 10 piece band playing vegas hits as the super glam crowd entered. 

The students were so excited and stunned by the interior of the event and our showgirlz really enhanced the theme and added some glamour and glitz to the overall look. 

With our feathers and sequines shining we were a popular photo opportunity for the students and we were so glad to be a part of their memorable evening posing next to the 'Welcome To Vegas' sign at the Grand Harbour entrance. 

We joined them on the dance floor as they all flocked in to take their seats at the vegas named tables and we left them to it to enjoy their wonderful evening and surprises that were in store for them that night as their prom continued. 

The following night our showgirlz were hosting at The Gregg School in Southampton to meet and greet guests at a charity function for Countess Mountbatten Charity. 

The guest were pleasantly suprised to see our girlz on arrival with headdresses, smiles and head to toe feathers! We were as always a big attraction to the guests and the perfect photo opportunity for all involved. 

We loved being a part of this event and it was again a huge success. 

Lastly we had a sky high showgirl up on her stilts at Portsmouth Guildhall for a high profile event hosted by The News. 

Welcoming guests into the building again with our gorgeous red showgirl costume it really did add that little something extra special to the already super glamorous night. The guests were thrilled and we sure did have people talking about our feathers all through the night!

Look out for our next blog that will tell you more about how the rest of the team wowed at this very special event!

If you would like to book our showgirlz or the team for any other themed event we would love to tailor some entertainment just for you.

CARNIVAL FOOTBALL FEVER

BRAZILIAN CARNIVAL FEVER!

Last week to celebrate the world cup taking place, our showgirlz were hired as part of a brazilian carnival fever event at Tiger Tiger in Portsmouth.
Hosted by Rough Hill, this was the first time we had worked on behalf of one of their events and we truly loved the atmosphere and vibe of their 'Bootleg' night and loved performing as part of their World Cup Night! 

With one boy and two stunning girl dancers the team were placed at the entrance and danced throughout the night to entertain the crowds as they entered for their big night out. With lots of football fans inside the building our sparkling costumes, headdresses and feathers really filled the club with excitement, energy and a lot of fun!! 

Once the night was well and truly under way we moved from the entrance to spread the world cup fever throughout the 4 rooms at Tiger Tiger, we danced the night away visiting, the Club room, the RNB room, the Disco Floor and the Kanaloa hawaiian bar. 

Of course we attracted lots of attention and quite an audience as we performed to a live band of amazing steel drums. We certainly added carnival culture to the event. Even though England lost their important football match that night the traditional music and our carnival dancing and spirit helped boost the mood and we were loved by the crowds. 

Our showgirlz and guys really do add that extra bit of glitz and glamour to your event to ensure those special extra memories are not forgotten. 

If you think we could enhance your party, theme or corporate event then do not hesitate to contact us to tailor entertainment to suit your theme.

Comings & Goings

EXCITING WELCOME HOME'S AND EMOTIONAL GOODBYE'S

Manic Stage Productions are so fortunate to have such a talented team of Show Girlz. We are always growing and exploding with new talent. Our ethos is to encourage each Showgirl to pursue their performing dreams and fulfill their potential in any performance field they choose, knowing there is always a space for them in the show team when they return! Both Nicole and Matt had extensive carers as professional performers and know how amazing it is to be able use your talent to see the world. The whole team love to hear about each others new jobs, adventures and travel tips.

This month is bittersweet for us Show Girlz, we gladly see the return of many of the girls from different places around the globe, but sadly we also say farewell to a number of girls who leave for different contracts over the summer. 

We are delighted Emma has returned from the other side of the world. She has only been away for 6weeks traveling Australia but it felt like so much longer. We hear she had an amazing time and had many many stories to tell. Emma jumped straight back into the team and is excited to be getting back into working for Manic..... even if she is missing the sunshine just a little. 

Both Tilly and Kim return this month from Cruise Liner contracts where they have been singing and dancing around the Caribbean. They have been entertaining the passengers on the ships with a variety of themed shows which we cannot wait to hear all about and see some of the new choreography and styles that they have learnt. Performing on these super liners really is a dream job for these young girls, as well as travelling to exciting new places their schedules would have been very busy! But we know these girls very well and I'm sure with all that hard work came some time to explore and party too. 

Our last girl to return back to the fold is Jade, we are expecting her home in the next couple of weeks and are very much looking forward to seeing her soon. She is on her way back after finishing her contract on Princess Cruises. From her pictures she looks like she has been having a brilliant time and we can’t wait to hear all about her travels. 

On the other hand we are having to say Bon Voyage and good luck to a couple of our precious Show Girlz leaving us. Firstly Chloe and Megan are both jetting off to Cyprus on different fun filled summer contracts. They will be seen on many hotel stages across the country entertaining holiday makers with their dancing and fire dancing skills. We are sure they will have a fantastic summer full of exciting adventures.

Lucy P is off next, heading all the way to the Far East! Again another of our girls to land a fantastic cruise ship contract this time sailing around China, South Korea and Japan with Costa Cruises. Matt and Nicole know just how amazing dancing on the ship is and say Lucy is in for a real treat performing and traveling with an oriental twist! We look forward to hearing all about it when she returns home in October. 

Lastly, Tasha always finds time to pop back to the team in between her touring show contract. She has been back now for just a couple of weeks but will be off again very shortly continuing her Musical tour of ‘Grease’ around Europe. The show has had great success and it looks like Tasha will be busy throughout the summer wowing the audiences all over the globe. 

Even though we always miss each and every girl it is so important for Manic Stage Productions to supply their clients with the best performers on the South Coast. We believe that the girls time away from Manic experiencing new things and other professional contracts really does help with our mission to be the best! There are always Show Girlz here in the UK ready and waiting to add their show girl sparkle to any event. So don't delay get in contact TODAY

And remember Show Girlz you will always have place in our "Manic" family so enjoy your time away and will be here waiting to welcome you back home on your return..

Adding Glitz & Glamour

There’s No Business Like Show Business... 

Last week we were invited to be part of the Portsmouth Business Expo 2014. The prestigious event was this year held at the grand Portsmouth Guildhall. A huge and diverse selection of businesses set up their stands ready to welcome some of Portsmouth's business elite to browse over what their company has to offer. 

Our  Show Girlz welcome and entertain the crowds as they entered the historic building ready for a long day of networking. Way up high on our stilts we excited the public from the moment they arrived and saw us through the doors. 

Throughout the day we changing our outfits and surprising the public with our eye catching array of colouful and fun themed costumes. We showcased our much loved favorites including:

Showgirls

Bunny Girls

Sailors

Clowns

and Can Can Girls. 

We spent the day walking round the stands introducing ourselves to the many businesses present, explaining to them how we could enhance their business on a day like today.

Advertising and drawing attention was our aim and thats exactly what we did. 
We attracted a lot of interest and were surely remembered for the fun we brought to proceedings. 

We previously worked for a company much like all of the businesses present at The Olympia Business Show in London. We were able to explain that by using The SHOW Girlz so many people noticed the business and came over to browse and find out more about what the company had to offer. As always The Show Girlz were there to draw in the crowds and bring a touch of glamour to the days events!

A the end of the day out came our stilts again for a wander through the stalls (with another costume change of course). We posed for photos on and off our stilts with lots of different companies and were tweeting away making new contacts and friends. 

We hope to work with many of you in the future and don’t hesitate to contact us if you feel we could be of any help or assistance at your next event!
