Oh, shush, yes, I saw this twice. once for... testing purposes. quality control. :sideye: it was a new Matthew Bourne. Quality control is *important*. And the others needed a guide the second time around.

You shall go to the ball at a glam club
Jan. 18th, 2011 04:34 pmSunday before last, Matthew Bourne Cinderella at Sadler's Wells. Sam Archer as the RAF Pilot, Kerry Biggins as Cinders, Micheala Meazza as the Stepmother. (Taz and me have figured out that we've never seen Sam perform on stage, even though he's one of the principals - you can see him in the Car Man dvd.)

Dorian gray and random sightings
Jul. 12th, 2009 01:17 amfirst, we must kill first great western for inconvenient engineering works on way back.
Amused self by staying silent and occasionally raising eyebrows at a bloke who kept trying to talk to me when he wasn't grumbling at his mates.
Dorian Gray was fab, most of original main cast (Michela Meazza, Richard Winsor, only change being Jason Piper as the photographer. v. good, if not quite the instant chemistry that Aaron Sillis did.)
Random celebrity sightings while standing around trying to flog tickets - Zandra Rhodes (she of the pink hair, three of us went 'blimey she's short') and Eamonn Holmes (Kareem Said/Rev. Samuels/etc). Stared quite a bit, but no mistaking him. And surprisingly, not as tall as I thought. only about 6/6'2.
tickets went for student prices (£10) to three rather happy spanish students. Slightly criminal that the four in front of us were empty - general consensus was corporate booking.
