Stage Door for Opening Night of Mojo: Holy Sea of People, Batman!
Okay, I was there at the Globe this summer while Colin was playing Ariel...just before they decided to set up the barriers. But even that crowd didn't rival THIS:

Now, granted, the whole cast minus Ben Whishaw was out there, so they weren't ALL there for Colin...but that's still a bleeding madhouse!
And to continue the squee!fest I started in my last post:
THIS from beaubete on Tumblr (a Ben Whishaw fan)~
"Baby and Luke. Oh, Baby and Luke. I hateship it pretty hard, I’m not going to lie, because those lingering touches with the cutlass were sizzling, but more than that I ship it like FedEx because they’re foils-no one can figure out why he hates Luke so much, but he lays it out pretty clearly: Luke is trying to be Baby, and in so many more ways than just a pair of trousers."
And THIS from the London Reviews~
" …seeing Colin Morgan in Our Private Life when I still associated him so heavily with Merlin.
But that is definitely not the case with Colin anymore. I’ve watched him shake that off very successfully and he just gets better. His Skinny is well played, and his twitchy, somewhat sleazy character plays off Ben Whishaw’s Baby so very well. There’s a barely hidden sexual tension between the two that underwrites all their interactions.
Also, cheekbones that could cut glass. I’ve never seen them pop so hard.
...There’s some scenes in the play that will get the fangirls going (myself included). Colin Morgan in white underpants, tied to a jukebox, being bullied by Ben Whishaw is one that will stay with you. I won’t spoil the scene, but suffice to say they get up close and personal. (And, yes, yes, I did describe Colin’s thighs as quivering earlier, which seems to have stuck with some!) Some of Baby’s ‘Kiss My Pegs’ rage is so crackling with sexual tension you want them to just do it and put us all out of our misery."
And finally, here are a few of the best stage door photos of tonight that I've seen so far:

Wet hair again, though.... Grrrrr...
