I still sort-of wish that I was, but I have left it too late now.

Have a good time those that are.

Please send in your reviews of the last show. I'd love to hear how it went for the cast. The more the merrier, just one last time :cry:

After a last minute decision, I went to London today. I didn't see Joseph, but I went to Maiden Lane, before and after the matinee. Lots of LoveLees and Loppies were there, some like me NOT going to the show and some who were. I saw pretty well all of the cast, except Dean, and spoke to one or two.

Future plans that I know of are - Craig is going into Chicago, Russell and one of the girls are joining Dirty Dancing, Tom is having a holiday, Derek has panto in Rotherham and Adam is soon starting filming with the BBC 'A Tale of Two Cities' to be screened around Christmas.

It was great to see so many recognisable faces, cast and fans. I was rather surprised at how few Gareth fans there were. After the matinee there was a bit of a crowd at the Stage Door for the equivalent of the scrum, but the majority of the people in Maiden Lane were Lee / Joseph fans.

I doubt ALW was there this evening. The Wrap party took place on Thurs. and 'Sunset Boulevard' was closing today too. I could well be wrong of course.

Thanks Showgirl,

I'm glad to hear that most of the main lads are going to pastures new. Interesting about the Gareth fans though. Lee was the best Joseph after all. I hope it all went well for the last 2 shows. Still waiting for a review or two.

Same here Amanda, would love to hear about it :grin:

Thanks Sal, some interesting news there :thumbsup:

aww!!1 it's all over!!!!! phantom 2 is going 2 the adelphi now then!!! lol

(That actually hasn't been decided yet - with RUG putting off Phantom 2 it *might* not go into the Adelphi after all, but rather into a theatre that's completely RUG's whereas the Adelphi is part Nederlander.)

Anyway, it was fab. It was sad, emotional and absolutely amazing! Also very busy, but that didn't surprise me! :wink:

Saw quite a few Gareth fans there, and quite a few of this lot :wink:

It was great to celebrate the final day of such an amazing show between Joseph fans.
Gareth was on top form, he really made the role his own and I do think it was a fantastic run for him. The rest of the cast... well, what is their to say? They were brilliant as always. All of them truly are amazing, and I think we couldn't have asked for a better cast.
I might do a review later, if people are interested, but I'm a bit too hayfeverish now :wink:

Glad you had such a great time Marieke :hug:

Oooh I'm interested!!! Love reading reviews, it's the next best thing to being there :grin:

Nicola · **Posted:** Tue Jun 02, 2009 8:26 pm

Well, what can I say! Amazing cast, wonderful show and a fabulous time was had! I loved every minute of it! :grin:

and thought Gareth was absolutely fantastic, he has really come on so much in the role and has made it his own. He is also very funny, I think! :mrgreen:
