  1. Hayley Atwell was slightly rushed, but we managed a quick conversation about the play "The Pride" which moved me immensely when I saw it. She seemed genuinely moved.

     

    Reeve Carney may be the nicest bloke I've ever met. We had a looonnnggg convo about Season 3 of Penny Dreadful, and his musical career. We ended up involving SRB in the convo when we spoke about our love for "King Lear". Remembered me at the photoshoot, and the line he uttered just beforehand is unrepeatable!

     

    Harry Treadaway is such a lovely guy. We managed a relatively long convo, and spoke of PD, beards (I said his works, he disagrees a bit) and my desire to see Caliban punished. Photoshoot was awesome.

     

    Simon Russell Beale was so lovely. Big smiles, handshakes, ended up with an auto inscribed to "Lear's Fool", SM please get the PD cast back!

  2. Hi all,

     

    This was my first time crewing for SM, and I have to say it was absolutely AWESOME! Here's the pointers as to why:

     

    1. The Attendees-You guys were fantastic! Really funny, polite and understanding and some of the nicest people in the world. Thank you all for taking time to carefully listen to what the crew told you and for being able to put a newbie at ease. THANK YOU!!

     

    2. STUART!!-This man is a LEGEND! Stuart, you really made a newbie feel so relaxed and welcome today, and I can't thank you enough. Somebody take this man to a pub and buy him a drink! After today's madness, he deserves it!

     

    3. The Guests-The guests all seemed like they wanted to be at the con, and were all, from what I could see, enjoying there day. Really cool people.

     

    4. The rest of the Crew-You guys were great, huge thanks Rob and the team on the door, helping me out on my first day. You guys rock!

     

    So there, You all, in your mad, little ways, made me feel so at ease. Roll on Cardiff!

     

    All the best,

    Josh

  3. It's an interesting idea but not quite sure how it would work in practice because an original musical cast probably isn't likely to have the same sort of profile as a major film cast for example. Then casts change over the years or with touring versions of the shows.

     

    Perhaps it might be better themed around a particular Musical, especially if there had been a film version as well for example to bring in a wider audience, but even then it may have to be tied in to be around the film launch.

     

    Personally I love Musicals and I do collect autographs from Cast members after I have seen the Musical at the stage door so if you could get some live performances as well I'd probably go.

     

    Oooh, I've never had the guts to do that!!

  4. This could work! Though not as a normal convention. I'd love something like this which was more focused on workshops and stuff like that but still with panels, photos and autographs. I'd be up for this!

     

    (Anyone from Les Mis and I'm there!)

     

    Anyone in particular?

  5. Can't believe that after planning the cosplay, I might not be going as an attendee lol!!

     

    Why? x

     

    Applied for crewing lol

     

    Oh thought you meant you wouldn't be going at all lol x

     

    Haha, it'll take more than a job to keep me away from this!!
