Colin Morgan in 'The Tempest' - opening night
General tweets - no spoilers
AProperSaying @The_Globe laughed and sighed so much! Loved every moment of #Tempest especially Caliban and Ariel's bird! Completely in awe of all! Thanks
clairecs1 #intervaltweet #Tempest @The_Globe for 1st night so far so good :-)
doc_follower #tempest at the Globe is the funniest I have ever seen without losing the profundity of the play
flawedamythyst So The Tempest was awesome. Roger Allam was excellent, as was Colin Morgan, which I wasn't expecting as much.
gemmaallred @The_Globe - Allam's prospero is tender and loved Morgan's agile, ethereal, ariel - his feet barely touched the stage! Loved it! #tempest
JoeyDenham #Tempest at @The_Globe was one of the best experiences of my short little life.
LucyTwitsTheSky What i saw was however fab and all Colin Morgan fans should be very excited about his outfit #Tempest
MrSamRice @The_Globe What a great way to start the season! Terrific cast. I'm glad I have another ticket in August. #Tempest
Shiva17 There aren't enough words to describe how amazing the #Tempest was at @The_Globe. Absolutely amazing! Can't wait to see it again.
StickBeetle2 @The_Globe outstanding performances by all the cast, absolutely superb!! #Tempest

■ 1St half report Colin is a singing, swinging & tumbling god! You're in for a treat if you're going to see #tempest at #shakespeareglobe
■ #Tempest thing about Colin so much acting with his eyes. Including a blinking thing his make-up is superb. Other cast have you in stitches
■ Joyfest what a pleasure to see such a performance open night perfection all cast outstanding. #Tempest amazing clap along at end

■ There's an epic queue for the groundling ticket holders. Never seen that before! #thetempest
■ In seats! Stage has been extended considerably! #Tempest
■ Wow Colin is, and looks, amazing! His accent is perfect. And he's got a great stage presence. Awesome. #Tempest
■ Colin can't sing though, bless him! It's fine, but you can tell it's not a strength. Kudos for doing it anyway! #tempest
■ @Brikkygirl13 Not bad, just not a natural singer. He'll get better into the run I should think.
■ Amazing! Bravo! Really enjoyed that. Very good performances all round. Can't wait to see how it changes! #Tempest
■ Btw Colin dancing at the end and laughing his head off is the best thing I've seen in ages! #Tempest
■ We have been told Colin has already left, so he must have run out! Bet he's off to a celebration. #Tempest
■ @Narlth Someone from the theatre came out and told everyone waiting he'd gone.

■ @EmrysDragonlord none! Hes got a top that is weird like spikey Lizard like or something lol
■ At #Tempest Colin is looking creeeepy man! Struggling to hear some of it cos people keep whispering :(
■ @merlinian103 a silvery coloured skin tight top with sort of plastic spikes/feathers and basically a skirt
■ @Cararules Well they all sucked the air out of the globe with their gasps when he came on stage :P

■ #Tempest @The_Globe WOW!! Loved #RogerAllam as Prospero, but #ColinMorgan stole the show as April! Amazing acrobatics! And mystery... BRAVO!
■ #Tempest @The_Globe #ColinMorgan perfect spirit, climbs, jumps, runs, sings, dances.. Climbed the post 5in from me!:) and Fury on stilts!

■ @Narlth brilliant. The whole thing was amazing. U need to be in middle or right hand side of stage :) Colin was pure genius :))
■ @The_Globe All I can say about #Tempest is WOW! Thank u to all involved for a fabulous, funny, and fun filled evening! Amazing cast x
■ #ColinMorgan in #Tempest proved what a great actor he is. Agile, serious/intense, funny, singing, dancing...amazing talented man :-)

■ Loved #Tempest @The_Globe tonight. Good audience, great cast. Good to be back.
■ I don't know why everyone is excited about the singing; I was more impressed by Colin Morgan's monkey bars flip thing. #tempest @The_Globe

■ So first half down of the #Tempest - great use of the stage. Very humorous too! Colin looking spritely! Swinging and jumping around the set!
■ @viennajones interval time now!! Really enjoying it so far! Colin is equal amounts intense, funny, creepy and wonderful! #tempest
■ @vix_spes it's mightily enjoyable so far! Considering its opening night there have been no apparent slip ups! Other than Miranda with an
■ @vix_spes misplaced sword! Hee!
■ So that was good! Long, and my feet hate me but good! #tempest The whole ensemble were fantastic! If you're going you're in for a treat!
■ Also, just as Bradley teased, Colin does have an 'angelic' voice! ;) #tempest
■ @yavannauk hey hun! Unfortunate didn't get a chance to say hello properly. Take it you enjoyed the show as much as I did! And I second your
■ @yavannauk tweet about the wings! Mightily impressive indeed! Plus I have no idea how he managed to walk on those feet! Looked so
■ @yavannauk uncomfortable up close!
VampireSoup
■ Despite the agony of my feet, I really enjoyed the Globe's #Tempest. Even the long boring bits (oops, did I say that? Sorry, Shakespeare!)
■ Aww, bless. Colin Morgan was concentrating so hard on his wide-eyed-blink (excellently done) he forgot how to do his curtain call routine.
■ Ariel is a lilac hedgehog. #Tempest
yavannauk
■ First half of The Tempest was excellent and, yeah, "agile" is a good way to describe Colin! Also, lovely singing voice! :-)
■ OK, with the full wings *that* costume is a lot more impressive! :-)
