Cinderella : fan encounters of the short kind..

Mrs G from the forum posted her thoughts on today's matinee performance of Cinderella which she attended with her family (and mine). Photos have been added to the galleries.

Well - we had a lovely time today - the panto was great - the audience appreciative and Joseph has added a little jete to his pirouette in his dance after the shower - which certainly had all the ladies ( and a few men ) in the audience gasping and craning their necks. Good thing I wasn't next to kls010 or my ribs would have been black and blue from all the elbowing. We waited at the stage door afterwards and first met Dandini - who was adorable and really lovely and signed our kids programmes - and confessed to leaving the message on JM.com ! then Buttons (all the kids shrieked "Buttons, It's Buttons !!") who was equally fab. And then one of the dancers came back and asked if we were waiting for anyone particular and we said Joseph - so he went and got him !!! Apparently he had been having a sleep and appeared in his socks.

But he was such a sweetie - signed all the kids programmes - then recognised kls010 who was staying in the shadows and asked if this performance was better than the last one she'd been too - and then posed for some pics with the kids. And then we went, sighing happily, off to the BFI with EW from Germany, who came especially to see Cinderella, and sadly had been poorly and didnt get to ask Joseph for his autograph.
