I'm back from today's matinee 
I got to theatre SD really early at 12pm and sat outside for a drink at the bar nearby. Jon arrived at 12.50ish and I went up to him.
I gave him a photo and pic I drew which I had put on some card (I also put an arrow to Simon who was in the background and wrote "Simon lurking". Jon said "typical Simon, whenever there's a camera around he will be there". Also gave him some chocolate money. He also signed my enlarged photo of him, Princeton and me from Sunday. I've never had an autograph from him that says more than his name. This time tho he wrote 'To Daniella Thanks for all the food' then signed it. He is refering to the biscuits I gave him a month ago and the chocolate today
Then I saw Simon arrive later on and gave him same as Jon but with a photo of him. He also signed my photo and wrote "Thanks for all the pictures" and signed it.
I also saw Chris and gave him a photo of him and Nicky and a pic I drew. I know he's not leaving but this photo was funny.
It was nice to meet Kaz, Abbie, Aleshya and the other people I met outside SD. Shame about the rain though.
The Matinee Show:
I was sat in front row AA10. There were a few minor changes. I'll try and think of a few but if anyone wants to add ones I miss then please do so:
- Have to start with the Money song. I put 2 bags of chocolate money in Brian's hat and he left the hat with the lady in the row behind me but she went and opened one of the bags and took a choco coin out of it
Someone put a big rubber chicken in one of the hats. Then when on stage the cast said how much money did we make, and one of them said not counting the chicken and they were looking bewildered as to why it was there. 
Own up - who did that
- When Trekkie looks in audience during Porn song, Simon did it slightly differently.
- In Fantases Come True Jon said an extra word to Nicky. Can't remember what word was but Abbie will probs know
- During the sex scene song, Delroy looked at me and mouthed 'call me'. During interval Abbie said she saw that and asked was he looking at me when he said it. He probably does that at every performance
- Someone in audience shouted out when Kate monster says to Princeton that she can't tell him what her purpose is. The guy shouted out "Go on tell him". So Julie said 'Okay then'.
- After Brian sings 'I'm not wearing Underwear Today' Simon was laughing. not sure why. Also Trekkie put his head in to Gary's private area.
- When Brian tells his joke to Princeton at beginning of 2nd act, he usually says he doesn't have a punch line, but today he actually finished the joke. It wasn't funny though.
- When Trekkie comes on stage to give the money, Simon through down tissue from the window, as though Trekkie had been at it on his own That made cast laugh
- When the new graduate comes on stage near end and meets Gary, Simon put the puppet's hand down Delroy's face.
- When Ricky is introduced to Rod, Mary did the voice of Ricky she then smiled and looked at Simon as though they had schemed this together and were pleased with the outcome.
I'm sure there were other bit and giggles along the way but can't remember any more.
The cast got a standing ovation. At the end Simon and Mary looked upset and I thought cast might say something about being their last matinee but Jon just said about the charity collection they were doing.
When I left theatre the stage door looked mobbed and Jon and Simon were signing stuff, but I went straight home as was a long day.
They should be coming to the end of the Evening show any min now
Can't wait to hear reviews from the others.
