Owen and Damien in that clip, hah

I actually had a dream once of Damien as Wolverine Rosie. 👍🏼👍🏼  Trying to do a little catching up. Wow that is more organized than I've seen before. Love Owen goofing around with DaMo. I'm sure they have all become good friends. 😀

I went to see NML (again ) in London on Monday.  Unlike the stage door in Cardiff - which was crowded and a bit manic and I only just managed to catch a brief glimpse of Damien - the stage door at Wyndhams was much more sedate and I eventually managed to get my programme signed.  Unfortunately I fractured my wrist a few weeks ago and my arm is in plaster so I didn't manage to take any pics myself - I was cluthing my programme in my one free hand - but Mikey managed to snap a couple of pics of me with Damien.  Well sort of!  That's the back of my head anyway

Thanks Mikey

Hello friends,

Just want to share Stage Door photos from when I went to see Damien on the 14th.  I was in the group with fifi. (that's the back of my large head in one of her photos!)

Damien was the first one out right away. We were standing about halfway down along the barricades and heard his voice through the throng first.  As he got to our group, he looked up from signing, saw it was us.  He smiled and said "Thanks for coming. I know a couple of you came from far away," as he looked at me and saemay. (squeee, he still remembers) We each said what state we'd flown from as he signed our programs. He thanked us again then we made room for brookesey and fifi to move up. The stage door is set up so they sign and keep moving along the line, people in front need to move back to give others a chance before the actors move along. The Selfie Nazi hovered over him the entire time.  I wish I'd had the presence of mind to turn around to at least be in a picture where you can see the two of us in the same space (besides the back of my head), but as usual when in his presence I .  Impossible to look away from those piercing eyes! But he was as lovely as ever, seemed happy to see us. And he looked hot, even with those bloody sideburns.   In the second half of the play when he comes in, his hair looks slicked back, but at Stage Door it looked all mussed up like he'd passed a towel through it real quick. All I can say is As soon as Damien was walking off, I thought to myself, I'll need to work a miracle to come see him in another play as soon as I can.

My hubby was here this time, he's the one that took these fab photos. He is thoroughly impressed with Damien's graciousness at the Stage Door, and that he recognizes us from the mass of fans he signs autographs for each night. Now he gets it!

They are superb photos, whimsy. Damien looks very Irish in them (yes, I know he is, but you know what I mean).

Damien is such a honey, isn't he?

 Yes Ellie, I totally understand what you mean.  And yes, such a honey.

Just love your pictures whimsy

"I wish I'd had the presence of mind to turn around to at least be in a picture where you can see the two of us in the same space (besides the back of my head)"  - yes! lol! But it is somewhat counter-intuitive to wait at the stage door to see him and then turn your back!

I took my programme from Cardiff in the hope that I'd be able to add Damo's autograph to Sir Ian's.  Although it was basically the same as the Wyndham theatre ones, it was a different shape...which he spotted straight away so I told him it'd come from the Cardiff run - a brief conversation but it consisted of actual proper words which is a first! 

As the opportunity was there I thought I might as well get Owen Teal's autograph too....but for one heart-stopping moment I thought he was going to scribble right over Damo's and I almost yelled "woah, stop" at him!!  I mean....I didn't want it that much!"
