We would definitely like a review, Eowyn. Did you go on Monday the 13th? 'Cause me and Liz went to see the play on that day as well. Christian told us he'd be having a drink at the theatre bar. ;-)

Awww, he's not that scary ;-) We're going on the 13th, just over a week. You've got me all excited to see it now!

No, I was by myself! I was supposed to be going with two of my cousins but ended up going alone with their two spare seats beside me. I still wanted to go though as it was opening night!

I may go later this week and try to brave (yes, I am that shy!) the SD though.

Sounds as though it's going to be amazing. Rehersals will have been going for a long time now, yes. Normally well over a month before the opening night.

Did you stalk afterwards, Sadie? ;-)

Aw man, I can't wait to see it! Thanks for posting, Sadie!

'Was the rest of the cast regulars with CC as the only new member for the tour?'
No, it's an all new cast. I have no idea how long they've been rehearsing.

P.S: Considering it was the first performance of the tour it ran surprisingly smoothly. Have they been rehearsing it for a while? Was the rest of the cast regulars with CC as the only new member for the tour?

Hello! Just seen the performance and it was fantastic...CC's best role by far. He seems to have developed so much as an actor, there was some real raw emotion there! His timing and delivery was spot on as well, it would've been so easy for him to ham it up in some of the more intense moments but he remained subtle and still managed to dominate the stage (even when he had no lines!). Also, the set is designed in such a way that you're completely drawn into the characters' lives. He looked pretty exhausted afterwards, it must have taken a lot out of him!

Anyhoo, I'll stop gushing! I'd definately recommend sitting closer to the front of the stage it makes you feel more involved in it all, I was on the third row near the middle and had a great view of the stage. Oh and without giving too much away, there's a moment in the play where he looked into the audience and said 'i love you'... I have to admit that my inner fangirl gave a little sigh! Bless him!

Am going to see Festen tomorrow...Yay! I managed to bag good seats near the front which made me feel slightly better after missing out on THB :(
Is anyone else going to any of the performances in B'ham?

Lynn

That's realy great!

Looks really good! CC seems to have very good taste in the parts he chooses. I like the way he hasn't sold out to Hollywood and tends to stick with more 'serious' acting work......Festen is yet another to add to his growing list!
