Jul. 12th, 2003 12:39 amLast night of the show. I just got in from the after show party and I'm half drunk and half hyper with happiness and half depressed because I love them all so much and many, most, I will never see again, and I know that's too many halves but I really don't care at all!
Jamie, who played the lead turned 18 all of half an hour ago, so we obviously had to celebrate that as well. We'd made him a cake and brought it on stage after he did all the thank-yous to the directer and musicians etc. I think he was more than just a little embarrassed, bless him. And I've never seen him embarrassed, and he's been a mate for years and years.
We all went out to a Greek Restaurant after - that is, the central cast and a few of us backstage people. I think we'd booked for 18 but there were more like 25 of us. The restaurant were very accomodating though, and all the other customers were remarkably happy to see us. I expected there to be some irritation when the boys broke into some of the numbers from the show having consumed too much alcohol, but they just clapped along when we all started singing. Wonderfully good natured.
And then when we left I had so many people to say goodbye to. Only Jamie, me and one other actor were leaving school this year, and the three of us got pretty upset about the whole 'last-ever-production' thing and had to promise to come back and watch. As if we wouldn't. I saw three past leads in the bar after the show as it was = it's tradition.
Now I'm off to bed!
