Lily James watched Medea last Friday and got a photo with a fan!
…who also got a photo with one of the stars of the show, Ben Daniels
(For COVID reasons, Ben and Sophie don’t stage door but if you’re lucky to meet them post-show, then you’re indeed lucky)

Biggins at Shirley Valentine. Noticed him from across the stalls as he was hovering in the aisle with an usher right before the show started, before being led off to the rear stalls. Then he was back again, usher in tow, at the end of the interval this time having blagged himself an upgrade to about the fifth row.

I was sat just in front of Jonathan Groff at Sweeney Todd. Had a brief chat and he was utterly charming.
Also spotter J Harrison Ghee at Fat Ham on Sunday.

Tobias Menzies and Alistair Campbell (second time I spot him) at Accidental Death of an Anarchist last night. TM was at the bar with friends gathered around the free water and it was only when I tried to get to it, that I noticed him.

I think we should dedicate this thread to theatre great and long time theatre supporter Alan Rickman That's perfect because I sat next to Mr Rickman at the Harlequinade, during Branagh's Garrick season a few years ago. He didn't look great but I suspect he'd gone to support Zoe Wanamaker as I he went back after the show. Sadly he died 4 weeks later  I didn't speak to him as didn't wish to disturb him on a night out, but was thrilled to sit next to him and witness his beautiful sonorous voice up close (as he chatted with his wife). His voice was so low that it vibrated through the seat and our shared armrest and reverberated through my whole body. |

I was stood next to Alan Rickman at the bar during the interval of A Few Days In The Country at the NT a few years ago, I didn’t say anything to him but I remember his wife glowering at me (maybe she could tell I had recognised him but I had no intention of saying hello, let alone asking for selfies or autographs): I’ve heard stories of celebrities dropping cuss bombs when approached by the public in public places so tend to leave them alone.

Yeah they don't need us annoying them as they go about their lives! |

I saw Prof Stephen Hawking at the back of the Stalls for Singin' In The Rain. I was in the splash zone of the stalls, and noticed him when I got up for the interval. His wheelchair is quite tall, and was positioned behind the last row of the stalls left side, and he was accompanied by a nurse. He really seemed to be enjoying the show (it was pretty good fun).

This a throwback but I’d have to say
Jude Law at Spamalot
I was in the same row and he was “actively” watching. Moving in his chair etc. it was fascinating to watch him watch the show.

#DavidMellorWatch Still alive, and cunningly disguised as a homeless tramp with a lot of paperwork under his arm My mother and brother saw him in a garden centre in Dorset a couple of years ago and were amazed how scruffy he looked. |
