I got my tickets for Clare's 'big first' today... I know it's not her first at all, but she needs our support :)
I also saw Luke perform once, about three months ago. I liked him, but Simon just has that 'something' more (and I'm not even straight!).
Speaking of understudies, I saw Matt as Gary on my first two times, and it took me a while to get used to Giles afterwards! I think Matt is really good, has anyone else seen him?

Just got back from Clare's "first" (I know it was not, but in my head I call it that!). I know I'm repeating myself, but she is wonderfully dorky as Kate Monster and did this little dance at curtain call that just had us in stitches
I am this close from going again next week :P

Thanks for the review! I don't see it like that, honestly - she's played the character many times before so she just needs to brush it up every once in a while. Though I'm curious now to go towards the end and see if I notice any difference, LOL! I just found out today that a friend is going on the 20th - Clare's "last night" as Kate for a while! I doubt I'll be able to go that night (also being only 2 days before the midnight matinee - I have to draw a line somewhere! :P) but I'm eagerly awaiting my shifts for next week to book my fourth Q with Clare as Kate

I loved the crowd too on the 8th - very responsive for a Monday night! and someone sitting two seats across from me was writing a review I think? my friend heard him say 'ginger' at interval - and there is only ONE person that could be referred to!

Aw, god, you people shouldn't get me started on Clare. I tend to rave a lot. Sorry if it seems like I keep spamming, but if you want to move this over to the Clare forums, I think she really deserves to see some appreciation. She doesn't have any idea how amazing she is and always plays it down.
I hope she gets a little more spotlight at that Valentine's day thingy they're doing. About Clare singing as Clare - my partner and I can't seem to agree on this - I think that the ending bit of 'Fine fine line' is pretty close to Clare singing as Clare, she thinks she's still too much in character... ah well, so long as she's singing, I'm happy :P

I just read someone on Julie's Myspace wrote "so have you decided if you're staying or not?" which makes me think she hasn't yet...

Clare is def not going to be there in July. Sorry

and anyway, had to go and see her tonight :P Couldn't help myself. I think it was the best Kate I've seen her do. She is so delightfully dorky and makes all these little faces, and I love the way she dances even when she doesn't mean to :P Updated On: 2/22/07 at 08:17 PM
