No sooner have I put the Make-up and Costume Supplement to bed than I am off to the Theatre again for a big opening night! For the first time I am taking Dr Marina Murphy with me to see Thriller Live. Now I am not a big Michael Jackson fan by, my God he has a back catalogue of hits.
Well hold on to your horses if you think the evening ended there!!!!! I was an invited guest at the aftershow party at the CafĂ© de Paris where I caught up with several people including the lovely David Badella – about to launch his solo show at the Leicester Square Theatre and the equally lovely Russell Labey, author and director of New Boy staring Skins Nicholas Hoult at the Trafalgar Studios. I designed Russell’s make-up for a production of Aladdin at the Pleasance when I first left Fox’s.
What Dr Murphy thought of all this theatre-ness I have no idea, but the gin was fab! Also present was a young gentleman accompanying David called Chris Jaman. Rather charming and ridiculously familiar, he must have thought it really creepy how I was trying to place him – he seemed SO bloody familiar! It turns out he was in Gone With The Wind and I mentioned that we knew Gareth in common.
Speaking to Gareth, he reminded me that Chris was on his photography business card and I knew him because I had spent the last 6 months with this card on the desk at the Royal Adelphi Hotel – duhhhhhhhh!!! I thought I was going a bit nutty!
Turns out Chris is in the cast of Sister Act so I shall obviously have to put in to review that one.
