Yes i'm back from the show. I didn't stage door before hand..not today. and this could be long cuz i'm mega hyper post show excitedness 
so i'm just gonna type and type and type...and just be honest where i need to be.
Anyhoo, going alone ...I kinda had a mini freak out about going it alone, such a drama queen ;D, but then i started talking to complete strangers about the show, the woman behind me was a MM virgin and next to her was another woman who had seen it 6 times so we just ended up talking and telling her how great it all was. I do love talking to MM virgins when i go. Woman who had seen the show 6 times asked me "do you jump?" i went "what in act 2?" lmao i gave it away..Dude i don't pretend to be brainy! haahah she just
And I LIED They asked me how many times i had seen the show, and i don't know anymore, so i just said 20, but it was enough for their jaws to smack the floor. Wasn't show number 20 back in Feb or something?
Ok, so the only covers were
Nancy Wei George - Ali
Lucy Harris as Donna ;D
Swings - Nia Fisher and Lucy Tapp were on today.
Yes, I needed my Friday afternoon fix.
I started texting everyone telling them i could not breathe, seriously my heart was thumping and the show had not even started.
In a nutshell it was great. Ensemble were tops! You want details? read on...
MMM: Ha Ben Heathcote back! OK he's been back a while now, but i haven't seen him. Great! He works so well with Kieran Jae who i have to say totally owns Eddie.
It's not as traumatic but it's still a good number with the ensemble and Lucy was on top form. Although I had no idea where my head was today, I think i was watching Rachel Spry or the guys at the table because I TOTALLY missed the "From Las Vegas to Monaco bit"
Oh yeah funny moment when Sophie walks off with the drinks and glasses, the glasses on the tray tipped over, Marcus gestured to the band what had happened. I had to laugh at Marcus. I guess they knew something had happened as a few of the audience laughed.
MM: this show has it's own McSteamy aka Iain Fletcher. It's his smirk that's what it is. Watch McSteamy on Grey's and Iain it's that smirk!
Oh my goodness. Lucy's you was scary today, it was long. She went "YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" and almost growled it. In a good, i loved it, way ;D
Chiquitita: OMG Joanna is a riothouse! That woman always makes me laugh. I can't believe how much i've come to love her in that role.
I love Lucy's "the trauma patient moment", the rocking back and forth and the face looks perfectly traumatised, cuz this is the part after the dads have turned up. It is a Lucy Classic! Ok she glugged half of that bottle today!!
Super Trouper: Hahah this is my tune. I love it. Lucy did a few notes differently, but no matter how she sings this song, I will always love this song by her. It was brilliant today, i loved it, i loved how she sang the "And when you take me in your arms" and does that movement, it's legend.
LAYLOM: This number is pornographic! there was a kid sitting a few rows down! That's all i'm saying on that.
VV: haah i love my seat... I tried, i tried really hard, but i was grinning from ear to ear. It's the wetsuits! It's part two porn!
Oh since cast change "the sides" have changed!! hahaha. Pepper is no longer at the front. It's Eddie now! Pepper is like on the left. Or stage right
(it's late i don't know!).
Hhahaha i loved the interval conversation. These little girls were saying "i think i know who the dad is" oh how cute. i wanted to joke it was Pepper!
OOU:
Oh somehow i totally seem to have forgotten this is my fave number EVER! So today i just appreciated it a million times more. I love love this. How Donna is at the table, and Sam is there sketching. I'm just in love with this song. Lucy just sung it so beautifully today, i could write the bits, but you'd fall asleep, let's just say if i were the artic i'd melt. Of all the numbers this was the highlight for me today.
DYMK: OK i really struggled with this. I loved this number before and now i don't. i just am not feeling this number anymore. It's much fun watching Ben and the guys dance off, and Kieran Jae has insane energy as Eddie egging the guys on, but i'm still not warming to Jane's Tanya. I'm just still not entirely convinced with the Tanya/Pepper relationship and maybe that's what detracts from me liking this song the way i used to. i don't know, but it starts at the "how much further in these sodding heels?" i just don't believe it. Go Figure??
Knowing me Knowing you: hahah Iain Fletcher - McSteamy. Sounding good, and yes Nia Fisher could totally be heard singing backing vocals. Man, she stood out. I was listening, engrossed in Iain and then i heard this voice, and i was "ooh i recognise that voice. It's Nia!" LMAO it was the sound. That's what Nia said..hahahha, i was just chuffed that i could spot that ;D.
WTIA: OK, I love Lucy's face, it just made me want to cry so much. I could totally feel her "Tell me does she kiss..." she just sucks you in to that moment. Oh my gosh! I chocked so hard, no tears, just chocked. And then the "somewhere deep inside you must know i miss you..." Blimey Lucy, you made me hurt so bad for you, i was aching and just wanted to hug her for what was going on with Donna and Sam. OOH my emotions today!! And her final "alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll" how she belts that out. OK, it was soooooo strong you could have heard it all the way in Oxford ;D
TACOM: Paul Hawkyard got whooped today i laughed so hard! it was when he opens his shirt. oh i'm still laughing! Joanna and him are just the funniest, pure entertainment.
I do: I love when the Dynamos push her across the stage hahhaha Dude, I can't count. Seriously I don't know how long that pause was. I got to five and then i lost track, i think she was nearer to ten.? And you've got Hannah Jacques pleading with Donna to say I do and then Iain just pushed her out of the way. I NEVER noticed that until today. Ha! See you still spot new things after many shows.
The audience were not the best I've been with, but fair play to them for getting up and giving the cast a standing ovation at the end and staying up all the way through to the end! Thank God i didn't have to do that alone
Oh gosh stage door, you'd think alone there would be no mental derangement. WRONG! It was head down, pick up phone and call anyone. So there i was on the phone having a "no one is standing here, no one is coming out" moment when lo and behold Ms Tasha Sheridan came down the road....Now i'm going to say i LOVE bumping into Tasha at the stage door. ;D
hahah i totally just dig myself into this hole every time i talk to Tasha. Yes, I finally got to tell her how great her cabaret was. And she's gonna do another one soon...maybe Battersea Barge, maybe even, I think she said Oxford. And i said how we'd go there to see her And yes, Tasha mentioned us wetting our pants when they did the Wicked numbers at the cabaret;D ;D ;D
Anyway, Lucy came out, OH my gosh...hahah that woman I don't even want to know what she thinks of me. I showed her my phone, well i was showing her this text Kris sent me about Winner Takes It All...Good Lord!I don't even think, i just do and I don't think I was meant to show that text to Lucy...GOOD GOD mental derangement is well and truely alive. And now i've started dictating when she can and can't take holiday. I just blurted out to her not to take August 17 off!!RUDENESS, but Lucy's response was OKAY ;D ;D hahahah I better put a holiday form in.
Oh and then Lucy totally got mobbed, she got fangirled. HAHAH. These little girls just came up to her and mobbed her. It was a totally cute moment.
And so i went off, but dude I totally forgot to say bye to Tasha. AGAIN!!! Bye Tasha ;D
oh and i needed flowers for my living room hahaha and guess what i have flowers in my living room and they are lovely.
and on my way home this woman had a cat on the tube, on a leash i peed myself all the way home..or was i giggling from MM??
and i never bought ice cream cuz i really do not need sugar in my system
Are you still reading? cuz i'm done...
