Film and Theatre Lover!
There was a little bit of a gap between Sir Pat coming out the door to Sir Ian making an appearance and you could feel the excitement building as he was spotted inside the Theatre ready to come out!
He was absolutely fantastic working down the line signing autographs and the best part having photos taken with people as well! Luckily I made friends in the queue and asked if they could take my photo and I would return the favour which worked out perfectly.
The queue from the stage door down the side of the Theatre reached the other street, incredible! It actually worked out very well that everyone did that as the actors just worked down the line signing everything (to do with the production) in sight!
Today is eventually the day when I am going to see these two legends on stage! I haven’t even had to travel to London as they have been so kind to do a small tour of the play and come up to Newcastle. It feels like I have been waiting forever to see it after having the tickets for months and months, I am sure it will be worth the wait (and missing the Newcastle United match).
I think I will even attempt the stage door to see if I can catch a glimpse of them leaving, possible autograph/photos!

Recently the talk has all been surrounding the official opening of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Part one and two) in the West End. The first story in the Potter series to be made especially for the stage, while it has been open for well over a month in previews everything has really kicked on over the past week after it is now open! Reviews have been coming out, I haven’t read any yet though.
Then today the play was released I hope people realise it is in play format and not as just a story like the other books. I know the big fans will but I am sure it will catch some people out. J.K. Rowling is pretty awesome releasing it on the date that would be Harry Potter’s 36th Birthday, I saw that on twitter I didn’t just know it I promise!
