So, I went to see 'La Cage aux Folles' tonight....
*flails*
*dies*
*is ded*
Thank you. That is all! x_x
In other news - Jenny came down to London, we saw Priscilla and La Cage aux Folles and...yeah. Near enough best day ever, I think! *glee* Priscilla is awesome and possibly - just possibly! - better than the film, which I adore, and John Barrowman...is there anyone better than him on stage? He interacts with the audience (which they do anyway in La Cage, but still!) and he totally sells his performance. At one point, his garter pinged open and caught on the tights on his other leg - cue many jokes and breaking character to joke about it with the audience! If you do go to see it, try to get seats on the tables at the very front - there's a lot of interaction with the actors there.
He also stayed outside the stage door for nearly an hour signing autographs and posing for pictures. The man is totally adorable and completely wonderful, IMHO. (start:obnoxious-fangirling - He spoke to us, thanked us for coming, made eye contact and *squeaks* patted my arm! *flails a little more* /obnoxious-fangirling) Jenny and I were talking with some other people outside the stage door who'd been to see it before on the night Gareth David-Lloyd went to watch. Apparently he went backstage to see John after the show and came out the stage door with him and was very sweet and chatty and signed autographs for people. Aren't our Torchwood boys the best? I also got Simon Burke's autograph - he plays Georges, and so very, very well.
Priscilla was almost as good! No leg room - damn being so tall, lol! - but the performance was fantastic and so well done. If you do go, try the box office in the morning (it opens at ten). We got tickets for £25 at the very back of the dress circle - pretty decent view; you only miss stuff when people are on harnesses above the stage. Only Oliver Thornton came out to sign at the stage door (we're sad, but at least we have pretty, signed programmes!), but I think that's because it was the matinee. There's also more of a romance between Tick and Adam in the stage show (it's subtle, but it's there!) - and there's going to be more Priscilla fic from me, I just know it! lol
I know, I know, I blather on a lot, don't I? *grins* But, hey. If you get the chance, see the shows! ^_~
