Stage Door Dramas

I shouldn’t have laughed at that.

Thing is, Layton starts his tweet saying how he loves meeting “y’all” but then goes on to say how terrible it is.

Mixed messages Layton babe.

This is the ‘stray dog’ syndrome. You encourage the stray dog, it’s cute, it adores you, you love it, stroke it, play with it. Then as you walk home you realise the dog is sticking with you. You don’t want the stray dog anymore. It’s making too many demands. You want to go home for your tea and that bloody dog won’t go away.

Now you’re almost home and that f***ing annoying dog is still following you. You hate the dog. Get rid of it.

You jump a wall or get in a bus or something that the dog can’t do. Relief. 

Now you’re missing the dog. Aw... he was cute though. Where’s the doggy?

These performers who seek attention at the Stage Door need to be consistent. Kudos to Layton for setting it down in writing but pull back on the “oooh love meeting you” crap. You can’t pick and choose between the crazies and the normals. 

Dominic probably shouldn't be saying things like that on Twitter! He's cute though so perhaps just waiting for a big break.

What sort of No.1 is in the bottle?

The Come From Away stage door after the matinee was so busy yesterday. Already there were the over familiar people starting with the "hello again"s. It's just been on a couple of weeks.

Oh god...I hate it when fans pretend to be "friends" with performers. I've met lots of people more than once over the years, but I always realise I'm just a pleb.

[quote author="hannechalk" source="/post/263771/thread" Recently one fan followed an actor to his car when he nipped out between shows, that I'd never do.[/quote]


And she did it again! Or tried to, but he got away, thankfully. I saw it all unfold and it was impressive the speed he moved at to get away, considering the amount of bags he was carrying.

He walked into the garage to get his car, and suddenly she follows close behind. He paid for his parking first and disappeared through a door. Luckily it took quite a while for her to pay, and initially she walked the other way. Then she walked back and disappeared through the same door. Tried to ring him, he rang back later and said he managed to get away without her cornering him.

I just don't get why you'd do that.

Oh no, that's crazy! That person needs help, QUICKLY.

But you just reminded me of something; I knew of someone who waited for an actor at the Nash until coming up to midnight (she was the only one there), and when he came out, she followed him down the South Bank a bit and eventually caught up to him. The actor was quite chill about the whole thing, though. Most people would probably run a mile.

Damn!, was hoping it was going to be the next one in the Tofu, Banana, Cucumber TV series......

Another day in the life at the Wicked stage door.

Anyone who's anyone will hug everyone in theatre, darling.

I know. That's exactly why I'm saying that I'm well aware that I'm only on acquaintance terms with actors even if they hug me. (I am not a huggy person myself & was extremely surprised the first time I was ever hugged by an actor, but I've now got used to it.)
