A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!''
Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

did you not want to put the link here?
Cause it would help people out.
Michael looks great! I wish they included audio of the show.
His Edna voice while talking to the interviewer is so cute.
C'mon Cast Recording!!

"I haven't left this building since Windows 3.1!"
"Celebrating a birthday this week: Rene Descartes is 412! Do you know who he is? Then why are you watching this show? You could probably get into college and even get one of those job things. As for the rest of us; Amanda Bynes is 22! Yay!"

I saw the show on wednesday. Rushed front row and totally forgot that Penny's mom runs through the audience and climbs over the front row at the end. I was excited by that. lol
The whole cast really surprised me, everyone was SO GOOD.
And I don't generally like Michael Ball, I can't really say why, I just don't, but as Edna.. Wow. He's fantastic!
And at the end the actors came back on stage to talk about a charity thing and Michael was still talking like Edna he said 'Wait, I can't do it in the accent.' *turns around and turns back to the audience with his own voice* Hello.. It's weird when it's me isn't it?'

He looks delightful, and like he's having a marvelous time.
Wonder if he'll ever transfer to the states when he's done in London.

Love the comment from Michael Ball's father and Leanne's voice.
Jemmalicious,
What time did you get there for the day seats and how long was the queue?
