Ha ha who recognised you? Did you go the stage door again after the show?
PXC and Celini wanted to go to the stagedoor but I feared they may recognise Celini and I so was a bit wary. Because they're collecting donations this week (Shayne actually came back on stage afterwards to talk about this - in his own accent but wearing Stacee clothes, weird!) some of the cast were at ther exits with donation buckets. It was Nathan (Mayor, Producer) who recognised us and after that Celini and I decided against the stagedoor 2 nights in a row (there's always Friday :shifty: )

LOL, all that reminds me of that time when I went to Sheffield in 2001 to see Edward II at the Crucible with Joseph Fiennes in the lead role. There were quite a few of us and we had tickets for a 10 day run. We got to know the cast pretty well as they always drunk in the theatre bar afterwards, so we got all autographs twice over. We went back for the closing weekend without tickets but got some for all three shows as the cast actually told us how to get standby tickets! We had a great time. I was a bit younger then!

This entire week they should be collecting but I suppose Tuesday was an exception because the cast quickly had to get changed for the meet and greet.

Hehe that's awesome. I've had it happen a few times, the worst (best?) one probably being Zachay Quinto who I met years ago before he became "famous" and last I saw him (several years later :shifty:) he still remembered me...

Hehe no :P I think it's because my friend and I were one of the first people to ever recognise him and we chatted for quite some time over the course of a few days (we were at a film festival, he was there too and we kept running into him XD).

Uh... looking at the wiki explanation for groupie (first line), no.

Yes, I thought that too, there were changes which definitely makes it more interesting if you are going again and again!

*has the pulled out pages in her work desk drawer* :shifty:

Many thanks for the heads up though! I don't always pick up the papers and next week the reviews will be printed, so would love it if people can give a head's up if they see it in a specific paper so I can pick it up :D
