In-bloody-credible! The atmosphere was just imnense! Highlights :
1. Chris fluffed the start of It Sucks To Be Me. Went something like this :
AUDIENCE: AAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Brian : No, it sounds stupid.
Kate : Oh, come on!
Brian : .. *Misses music cue* ... WHENIWASLITTLE, I thought I would be!
AUDIENCE: *Laughs lots*
Brian : They threw me off!
Kate : What?
Brian : A big comedian on late night TV.
... etc etc...
Brian : It sucks to be me!
Kate : ...Uh huh.
Brian : It sucks to be me.
Kate : Yup.
2. EVERYONE got loud, loud entrance screams. Daniel kept stopping at the end of songs and just going "...Oh my God." with Princeton. There was applause and screaming left right and centre, and you could tell it was really fuelling the cast's performance forwards.
3. This conversation with Doug at stage door :
Me: You're going with it, yeah?
Doug: Yep!
Me: ...It's been three years, are you not sick of playing the same 22 songs every single night?
Doug: The PC answer would be no, wouldn't it? Hell, this is Avenue Q. Yes Ollie, I'm bloody sick to death of it But I'm contractually obliged to stay with the show until it officially closes.
Me: ...You were sooo close to freedom.
Doug: Please, don't.
4. The stage door after the late = Busier than December 1st 07 (those of you who were there that day know that means very very busy) - absolutely mad atmosphere.
5. The after curtain call material was hilarious - generally, I'm not a fan of the current cast's improv efforts (they do try, but generally aren't so great with ad lib - but then again, why should they be? its not part of the job), but it was hilarious stuff. Mark especially was right on the money, and Daniel and Julie were working off eachother nicely too. Everyone laughed lots
6. Everyone clapped along to the beat of the end of "Porn", the start of "Sucks reprise" and the end of "For now" - it was brilliant.
7. Chris' very lame joke at stage door; "Feel good at the Gielgud"... Oh dear, Christopher
Anyone else there want to add to this? If anyone on here filmed with me for the new fan site material, then thank yoooou!
