Did you know that..................

Post by patc »

2009

16th April: Thurs Matinee: Part 2 was abandoned due to fire alert (think it was in a fan somewhere upstairs but may have been a false alarm). The theatre was evacuated and the cast gathered outside Elliot House at bottom of Allington Street with Trevor Fox (George) still dressed in his Santa outfit. Cast: Tanner/Dean-Charles/ Annabelle

7th May: Thurs Matinee: Tom Holland landed awkwardly after wallflip and was carried off by Dad (David Bardsley). Fox took over. Cast: Tom and Fox/Dean-Charles/Scarlet

28th May: Thurs Matinee: Tom suffered a nosebleed and whilst standing on the table in the pre-Angry Dance Kitchen scene was taken off. Fox took over. Cast: Tom and Fox/Dean-Charles/Annabelle

Not saying Dean-Charles was jinxed but interesting that he was Michael on all three occasions, LOL.

Subsequently, almost exactly a year later, on 29th April 2010 (Thurs Eve) Dean-Charles now playing Billy tripped over something backstage after a stage exit and injured himself. Tom took over. Cast: Dean-Charles and Tom/Jake/Emily

The week before that (Thursday Matinee 22nd April) Rhys ran off stage shortly after the commencement of Angry Dance. Tom took over. Cast: Rhys and Tom/Jake/Fleur

Anyone got other similar tidbits?
