5. What was your first show?
Dracula (Is it blood or ketchup? jajaja)

6. What are your earliest memories of the shows?
I remember the scene when Widow Twankey (Dennis) is trying to teach Wishee Washee (Nick) how to do the washing in Aladdin. It's not the earliest but I really liked it...

7. A) What is your earliest memory of Nick?
The other day I did the translation at “The Fairy Tale Mix” and Nick was saying to the kids that they had to look one way and nobody understood him so I had to translate what he was saying and... they also didn’t understand it in Spanish. That made me remember when I was there and I didn’t understand anything because I was very nervous.

B) What is your favourite memory of Nick?
Nick trying to make a great show with little actors, it's moments like this when you realise the fantastic work that Nick and Networks made with us. ;)

C) What is your scariest memory of Nick?
I think the scariest memory of Nick was on my first day on Networks, I didn’t understand anything Nick said to me and I got very nervous... (I was only 6 years old)
I also remember when Nick asked me in a rehearsal what my telephone number and everybody had laughed because I didn’t remember it. =D

8. What has been your favourite show to date?
It’s difficult to choose one because all of them are fantastic. But I think the best is Aladdin... It had a lot of funny moments and the most fantastic dancers ever jajaja

9. Do you have a favourite moment in a show or memorable moment in rehearsal?
When I had to say: Flight 664 from Madrid Barajas to Transylvania has now landed at Gate 9. All passengers must proceed to immigration immediately. Even if you are scared of becoming a vampire.
I was always confused with this phrase...

10. What is your favourite photograph of any production? (Attach it to the email and we’ll put it on the blog.)
That’s a good one.

I will copy Joaquin’s idea... so my sister says that she would like to see “The Wizard of Oz”

12. Finally can you sum up Networks Theatre in one word?
Memorable.
