Am I fangirling?

... I probably am fangirling, yes, I do realise that. But I have good reasons to! They are just so amazing and awesome and... and... they are incredible!

Anyone reading this post will probably think I am crazy, so let me tell you I am not. I'll go back and explain properly what happened :)

After being out all yesterday afternoon and evening (I'll explain in a later post, when I get up to date) with Maria Stella, Isabela and I went to Victoria Station sometime around 10pm. It'd kind of a weird place where to hang out, but we had our reasons... even though we hadn't been back to see the show that night, we wanted to go to the stage door of the theatre (next to the station) to meet the actors from "Wicked" again! Well, for some of them it was again, for others it was a meet for the first time.

I had brought my show programme with me and I got a lot more signatures than last time, because next to us there were these two guys who had already seen the show 19 times and were able to recognise every cast member, ensemble included :P So I received a signature from some of the ensemble people, from Phillip Childs (Dr Dillamond) and Sophie Linder-Lee (Glinda's standby). With Sophie I had such an embarrassing experience... the two guys started shouting "Sophie!" and I was like "Sophie? As in that Sophie??" because I wasn't sure whether we were thinking of the same Sophie. Eventually, it was the same Sophie and she was just next to me while I was saying that hahaha But she didn't make any comment and she was really nice :) I don't have any definite opinion on Sophie as an actress/singer, because there's very few videos of her around: sometimes I like her, sometimes I don't! I guess I can't really judge from youtube, as I have already learnt :P

Anyway, apart from them, I also got to meet the two actresses I went there to see: Jennifer DiNoia (Elphaba - again!) and Savannah Stevenson (Glinda - for the first time!).
Since when I have seen “Wicked”, about three weeks ago, I have been following them and listening to everything they are in on youtube with Isabela and we have started to know them a bit better. I have started loving Jennifer even more and the same applies to Savannah, even though I don’t like some parts of her singing! I mean, she is the best actress out there in the role and I really like some songs from her :)

But as I was saying, I met both:

Savannah Stevenson – she came out first, all of a sudden. I literally saw half of her face and her cap still inside the door and I was like “OMG, Savannah!”. When she came out she was all smiley and nice and adorable and so much different from what I expected! We took a photo with her and she signed my programme. It was pretty obvious how nervous I was, when she asked “How are you doing?” and my voice was sooooo little when I answered and asked her back “How are you?”. I was so struck by how nice she is as well!

Jennifer DiNoia – I got a second signature from her, on a different page this time, and then... Isabela and I gave her our fan letter, the very reason why we were there that night ;) It’s just a short thing, but it was so hard to give it to her... I almost froze because I was embarrassed and I was the one meant to do the talking! But Jennifer is really nice and she was like “Awwww thank you!”. She nearly opened it there in front of us, imagine our faces :P So I literally stopped her with a “Can we also take a picture with you?” and we did! 

 

 

By then we left and we were kind of in heaven! I am so glad we went back to see them :)
