OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!!!!!!!

So, see, I saw Sweeney Todd again tonight, because the cast/crew of Wild Blue (school musical) was going, and Liv is an amazing person and let me buy a ticket because I am the prop tart and ee! So yeah, twenty of us went to the theatre to see it. And it was so good.

And then me and five others, inuding the Absolutely Amazing Beth went to the stage door to get autographs.

And Benjamin Eakeley remembered me.

Excuse me a minute to say that a bit louder. Benjamin OMGponies Eakeley remembered me!!!

Those who go back and check my last entry squeeing about Sweeney Todd will remember that Eakeley was my high point of the autographin', because he drew for me and THANKED ME for letting him draw and EEEEE!!! And pretty much SO NICE and wonderful.

Butyeah. We go backstage, and people come by, and that's awesome. And Pirelli comes out, and I'm getting her to draw me a picture when Benjamin OMGponies Eakeley comes out, and I start talking to him in a slightly squeey way, and he looks at the notebook as Pirelli passes it back to me and goes "I THOUGHT I recognized you!"

And he didn't know what to draw and then he DREW A PORTRAIT OF ME AND IT WAS HIS FIRST PORTRAIT EVER AND OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD! He DREW a portrait of ME! And then he decided that it looked more like him, so he labeled it "This is Ben Eakeley. (And his first portrait)"

AND OHMYGOD!

And I was smiling so hard I thought my face was going to break the whole time. I was probably bright red as well, just because "Eeeee! Favourite actor!" And then I asked if I could take a real picture with him, and he said sure, and Meghan took it for me and he actually asked how it came out to make sure it was a good picture!

*faints from happy!*

(It's actually only a decent picture since the light sucked in the alley, but that's okay because it's a picture of me and Ben Eakeley. And there are no better things in the world, except maybe the picture of Mom and Alan Tudyk.)

So yeah. Wins and hearts. Also, I have a new life goal: See Benjamin Eakeley in something else (Anything else!) and get him to draw me another picture, and see if he still remembers me.

MOOP!

(((Also: David Hess was out sick so we had a different Sweeney --David Garry-- who was actually better IMO. So yeah, that was wonderful! And I got Antony's autograph this time, though the judge still slipped through my fingers. Curses!)))

He was awesome. I told him he was better then Hess and he laughed. He seemed pleased though, so that's good.

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Johnny *wantlustyes* Depp.

OHMAN, is he ever. The trailer is amazing --I've watched it upwards of 20 times by now.

who was Eakley again? I was a little fuzzy understanding the second half (having seen the Angela Lansbury version of the first half)and the boyf and I agreed that this is definitely a show best played to theater types (who can actually appreciate the level of work that goes into, say, acting with a tuba or a cello) and moreover, those who know the show.

I couldn't figure out what the little white coffin was or why he wanted to kill his daughter until it was explained to me about the chair, and that no, he didn't want to kill his daughter. Listening to the CD afterwards helped.

Yay for you getting to see it again!

Eakeley played the Beadle --Judges assistent, dressed all in black with a white tie, very sneer-y, spent most of the show facing away from the audience so he could play the piano.

We loves him, yes we do. <3

And I do agree about the fuzziness. I really want to see a new staging of the original now, because this one IS a little hard to follow if you don't know all the plot. Butyeah.

and you've not posted the picture of you and him, and a scan of the drawing why, exactly?

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

I don't have a scanner at all. Picture will appear when I get it off my camera.
