42nd Street at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane

I still keep thinking about the reaction at the end of the staircase number. I don't think I'll ever experience anything like it again. The ovation was instant. Not like a few people got up and others joined. It was literally everyone at the same time as if we had all decided between us before hand that we would do it.
And the cast reaction to it all was wonderful. Lots of them in tears and so many comments by them on social media saying they have never experienced anything like it.
Partly our way of saying to the ensemble, Clare and Ashley that it was them that made the show what it was and giving them their own ovation at this point rather than at curtain call.

Thanks to a crew member, swipe to the second video along, the final stairs dance from the audience.

So much for the "the taking of photographs and use of recording equipment is strictly prohibited".

BUT I am eternally grateful for those crew members who ignored it, otherwise we would never get the chance.to see all these wonderful videos.
Just wish I was tech savvy enough to figure out how to save them all to watch again and again.

I’ve downloaded them all just in case.

Yeah you're correct. I didn't know actually, but someone told me after Bibi scanned my ticket before the matinee.

Crikey, they're eager.

That family love unusual names. You have Babette (mum) Bonnie and Bibi and the Strallens have Summer, Scarlet, Zizi and Saskia.
Soooooo showbiz.

Zizi is technically Slyphide so all have an S.

Ah make sense. The Langfords all B and Strallens all S.
My family are all A but we are not nearly as glitzzy.

Exotic... 😬

I adore that bit of the show.

Not ashamed to say I've watched the videos on You Tube from when they performed it on The One Show and This Morning about half a million times.
