Arrived in London earlier than I had said I would & not knowing that Trudy, Snoo, hezzy & Kazzer would be at the theatre already I went for a wander around Covent Garden. Ended up in The DIsney Store & bought Tom another pressie & a little something for Preeya.
Met the guys-they got returns again. I was tempted & still was a couple of hours later but didn't get any. (Thanks showgirl for trying again & again though-hope you enjoyed Caberet). Robyn joined us & we went to sit in the bar next to the stage door. Adam walked past & said hello to us!!!! (I'm deffo becoming a permanent fixture there).
Then we met Nic, Angelie, Lyndsay, Tara & somone else (Sorry I'm terrible with names-who have I missed girls & did I get the names right?) Nic-I can't believe I've finally met you!!!!!!
Someone said there's Tom & I went into fangirl mode! I jumped outta my seat & literally jumped out onto the pavement in front of him!!! I think I scared him. I said hello & gave him my new pressie of a cuddly Stitch from Lilo & Stitch!!! I got another hug (he was the one shaking during the hug this time-not me) for that & told him I'd see him between shows.
Robyn spotted James & melted! Yet again I had to call him over!!!! (I hate to think what the cast think of me!!! Yelling, Hugging & constantly hanging around!!!!) Robyn gave him his pressie & card from us both, he signed autos & a few of us had pics. He was smelling soooooooooooooooo good! Lewis walked past us but I was with James so didn't go hug him this time-did say hello though.
Then LEE!!!!!! Thanks Angelie for letting us know! We dived for him-leaving all out stuff, Lee was obviously more important than out things!!!!! He was wearing beige cords, blue top & a beighy/browny fluffy cardi type thing (he wore it during Joseph School). I passed him Stace's pic-he ooood & aaaahd over it, asked for a copy for his mum (!) & signed it for her! I then asked him if he'd worn his socks (took him a while to remember-I did tell him I'd asked him if he liked them only a week before!) & he said he had & they were hot!!!!!!! More autos were signed (sorry Karen, couldn't get yours done-Stace's was priority for me today) & some pics were taken I think.
The four that had managed to get returns again went of whilst me & Robyn wandered around London!!!! We went on a theatre/stage door hunt!!! Took random pics in front of various show posters. Had a mad moment at the theatre that is showing Dirty Dancing coz the ADWD boys had been there. So we were walking all over the front steps picking up their footprints!!!! We also popped into the Build A Bear Workshop-Dotorgs birthplace & The Disney Store. Robyn bought James another pressie!
Went back to Adelphi stage door in time for the second half to begin so we sat down & chatted away about this, that, Tom & James!!!!! At 5:15 we went & stood on the pavement on the other side of the stage door & kept our eyes peeled for cast member (Tom & James basically). Dean came out frst with damp hair from his shower! Then Tom came out but I let him go get his lunch but I did stare at him as he walked down the road!!! Then James! He was talking to Russell & one of the girls so Robyn didn't wanna go over but I dragged her!!!! We waited till he'd finished his convo & tapped him on the shoulder. Robyn gave him her pressie-Tigger!!! He was very pleased with it & said he liked Tigger. But told her off for buying another pressie for him!!! We got a one armed hug from him-one arm for each of us. We stood round chatting for ages, keeping him from his food! We talked about the forum & I showed him one of the t-shirts coz I was upset that he hadn't noticed them last night. Robyn mentioned the fanpage we've set up for the brothers & Dean!!!! I did my usual speech about 'had Lee time, now wanna meet everyone else etc & then I said-can you guess that we have favourite brothers!!!! He'd already seen Stitch & I told him that Tigger & Stitch have to be best friends!!!!!! I also asked what time Preeya normally arrives as I wanted to giver her her pressie. We let him go & then Tom reappeared (I think the four were back by this point-I can't remember) so I kinda hugged him as he was heading in the door! & asked if he was alright!! James came back & waved Tigger's paw at me & Robyn & I dived in for a hug!!!!!!!! He then did something lovely for Snoo (I'll let her say). Robyn wanted a hug but was shy so I asked him if he would give her a hug & he did!!!!!!
Fiona Reyes was around so we got autos (as it was Weds matinee she was in the role of Narrator), she seemed very sweet & didn't mind that it was talking me forever to find the next page in my book!
Tom came out for a ciggie & kinda got accosted by loads of little teenyboppers!!! Hezzy & Kazzer went & talked to him (Trudy & Snoo had gone by this point) & Robyn was trying to get me to come over-I kinda half heartedly made the group look like a circle but nobody really spoke that much
Neal Wright was on his way out & Robyn got her programme signed & a piccie I was trying to not get in it but I am there in the background!!!! I then put my arm around him & said-just another random hug-you know me by now!!!!
Then Tom started to head in. I asked if he's met Tigger yet & told him that they needed to be best friend as well!!!! Did I get another hug? I can't remember, most likely!!!!
Then I finally saw Preeya-with Dean & Neal. I went up to her & gave her a Minnie Mouse Keyring!!!!! And I got another hug & a see you soon!!!!
Then before we knew it it was just me & Kazzer left! We headed off to the station. On the way I saw Adam again & gave him a hug!!!
So there you go, I did everything I'd set out to do. I have no money left. My feet hurst. I'm so tired.
When are we doing it again?
Someone else's time to take the floor!!!!
Oh & in case you were wondering what we got Dean, Tom & James. We found a stall in the market that did Chinese lettering. So we got them ones that said 'break a leg' & their name. Each of them appreciated it
