And we did see him twice...once on stage, and once at the stage door...what a sad pair of groupies we are! Peter actually wrote a note to Roy Hudd, saying how we'd love to meet him, and how he (Peter, not Roy) had seen him in a show on Clacton Pier in about 1847 or something.
Well, like the true professional he is (Roy, not Peter) he came down, signed our programme, and posed for photos. Laura got stagefright, as you can see. Me, I'm grinning like a grinning thing!
Kudos too, to Gary Wilmot (Lion), Hilton Mcrae (Tin Man) and Susannah Fellowes (Glinda & Auntie Em) for being so friendly, signing programmes, etc...
A fantastic afternoon. Wish I could recommend you all rush off to see it, but it finished its run at the weekend.

Credit where it's due, Roy's a really nice bloke. Back in the dark ages I did a bit of writing for him and he was extremely effusive and supportive. Watching him work an audience - individually - before a radio show is pretty impressive, too.
Glad you had fun.
omg...I am totally in awe of you!
don't be: I couldn't make a living out of writing
