Stage/fright - Blog Posts

last ditch effort of lingering outside the box office and praying to all the gods to get cheap closing night tickets has failed 😔😔

hope everyone inside has a fab time!! gonna try stage door just in case 😏🫡

everyone at tonight’s sf i hope u know i am seething with jealous rage at how good i know your guest must have been…

stage/fright 29/03 matinee thoughts!!!

• my GOD have they ramped up the ridiculousness from the previews!!!! i was having an absolute ball

• hostage was ross noble (row snowball) who acted the part beautifully - he knew exactly when to play up the comedy and when to let r&s shine

personal kidnappers highlights include:

- ross noble seemingly assuming he had to make up improv answers to all of lady linda’s questions and getting halfway through a sentence each time before steve showed him the prompts

- reece breaking so bad he got two separate rounds of applause each time he turned around to compose himself

- reece flubbing “lady linda lockwood” presumably from all the laughing, which then made him laugh harder

- steve saying “stick of celer-eye” and it breaking reece so hard he just gave up and faced the audience with his head in his hands

- reece answering the phone and saying “hello mr spengler! no i’m not laughing” while visibly laughing

- ross noble berating len for calling “have i got news for you” “mock the week” for WAY longer than they obviously planned, ending with him whacking len with the celery

- ross noble going up the staircase and saying “i only agreed to do this because i thought mark gatiss (gah-tiss) was in it”, followed by a big laugh, followed by reece and steve in unison going “gay-tiss!”

• reece was on an absolute mad one as hugo at the beginning of act two ! it seemed like he was surprising himself with how big he was going with the physical comedy

• steve had a few nice moments of playing up to the audience which he didn’t do last time!

overall had a lovely time and NEED to see it again before next saturday

stage/fright round two today lads!!!!!!!!!!!

HI ur all immediately so nice i love it here already

Just think of all that Stage/Fright jam.

My favourite celebrity couple. They're just so beautiful together.

I wish them decades of happiness and healthy grandchildren.

A rather delightful little souvenir.

I was sitting in the front row at the matinee and, during Tears of Laughter, this fluttered off Anna Francolini's fan and landed in my lap.

I shall treasure it always.
