HI ur all immediately so nice i love it here already
thought my first contribution on here should be my terrible stage/fright photos from 23/01 !!!! they were so lovely and the show was so fucking good (and i was front row so we were literally face to face it was bonkers)
reece is exactly 3 apples tall
oh my fucking god
stage/fright 29/03 matinee thoughts!!!
• my GOD have they ramped up the ridiculousness from the previews!!!! i was having an absolute ball
• hostage was ross noble (row snowball) who acted the part beautifully - he knew exactly when to play up the comedy and when to let r&s shine
personal kidnappers highlights include:
- ross noble seemingly assuming he had to make up improv answers to all of lady linda’s questions and getting halfway through a sentence each time before steve showed him the prompts
- reece breaking so bad he got two separate rounds of applause each time he turned around to compose himself
- reece flubbing “lady linda lockwood” presumably from all the laughing, which then made him laugh harder
- steve saying “stick of celer-eye” and it breaking reece so hard he just gave up and faced the audience with his head in his hands
- reece answering the phone and saying “hello mr spengler! no i’m not laughing” while visibly laughing
- ross noble berating len for calling “have i got news for you” “mock the week” for WAY longer than they obviously planned, ending with him whacking len with the celery
- ross noble going up the staircase and saying “i only agreed to do this because i thought mark gatiss (gah-tiss) was in it”, followed by a big laugh, followed by reece and steve in unison going “gay-tiss!”
• reece was on an absolute mad one as hugo at the beginning of act two ! it seemed like he was surprising himself with how big he was going with the physical comedy
• steve had a few nice moments of playing up to the audience which he didn’t do last time!
overall had a lovely time and NEED to see it again before next saturday
last ditch effort of lingering outside the box office and praying to all the gods to get cheap closing night tickets has failed 😔😔
hope everyone inside has a fab time!! gonna try stage door just in case 😏🫡
