#No Door Theatre

[rofell]

I suppose I should tell you that last week I saw Nye and got to meet Michael Sheen at the Stage Door.

First off - yes, he is a literal angel. I can see why Neil Gaiman has said this and casted him the way he did. Does he have to do Stage Door, night after night? No. But he does, and with so much kindness.

For example, after he had spoken with each and every one of us, given each person the full light of his attention (there were about 30-40 people there that night) he scanned the crowd to be truly sure everyone had had their moment before walking off into the street.

But the moment I want to tell you about is this. After being mortified by a friend telling MS about my Aziraphale cosplay (the cosplay wasn't that great and I was trying to play it cool about the GO obsession geeeeez), I watched as MS lifted his hand and lightly touched the beige blazer I was wearing.

"Well this is a very Aziraphale colour," he said to me he said.

I still haven't recovered.

please unfollow me if you get mad at actors for not stagedooring. Disrespectfully, fuck you. They just performed for three hours and are probably exhausted, they don’t owe you shit.

merrily we roll along just wouldn't work as well told in order. because yeah, it'd be sad to see mary go from a teetotaler to an alcoholic, but it's sadder to only know her as a drunk then suddenly see her younger self refuse a glass of champagne because she doesn't drink. it'd be sad to watch frank throw away what he could have had with mary, but it's sadder to see him go through woman after woman and then hear him say "i've just met the girl i ought to marry." there's something so much more poignant and tragic about learning what it was they lost after they've already lost it. meeting them at their worst and realizing they weren't always that way. that they didn't have to be that way.

HELLOOOOOOO MY DARLING FELLOW ADORERS OF SPOOKY AUDIOFICTION

Hello hi it's me I'm back on my bullshit! Remember a while back I talked a lot about how fantastic the podcast Shadows at the Door is? They're still amazing, they're in the middle of producing season 3, and they are working on a WHOLE-ASS MUSICAL.

As in, multiple songs, a fantastic cast, amazingly talented people writing and producing it, it's going to be phenomenal.

Fan of shows like Re: Dracula? David Ault (Re Drac's very own Friend Arthur!) voices the protagonist, beloved fan favourite Doctor Geoffrey Troughton.

Professor Elemental (Fighting Trousers, anyone?) is writing several songs and voicing the production's deeply creepy antagonist.

Did you like The Silt Verses or The Secret of St Kilda? Shadows has got Erika Sanderson and Michelle Kelly on the cast, as well as a slew of other phenomenally talented voice actors.

Please check out the production's kickstarter page for more details about this beastie, and if you're interested and can spare a few bucks to help get it off the ground, please consider doing so! Shadows is well-made queer media created by hugely talented queer people and will more than meet expectations if they can meet their funding goals.

THANK YOU I LOVE YOU MUAH

You know the play adaptation of TTYD that Flurrie stars in at the end of the game? I made a poster for it 😎

Michael Sheen=the greatest.

Despite how exhausted he was after Thursday's performance (he was on FIRE that night) he still took the time to see all of his adoring fans at the stage door and make loads of people's day.

Friday's stage door was truly magical, and the energy in the crowd was off the charts. Loads of hardcore fans and talented fanartists were there and it became a spontaneous mini Ineffable Sheen Convention of sorts.

Everyone was interacting and supporting each other like the fabulous family we are. One girl was so nervous she almost threw up. Another adorable fan had a full-on breakdown of the most joyous and beautiful kind after meeting their hero. Shy and trembling fans were gently encouraged and helped by the complete strangers next to them (as well as MS himself).

An international delegation of Sheenie fans comprised of some of the loveliest and most talented people on earth, all brought together by our adoration of this beautiful man.

So many hugs, happy tears, stories and wee handmade gifts were exchanged. I am so grateful to have been lucky enough to be a part of it all.

And yes, that's his handwritten bratty Bastille Azi quote on my collarbone, freshly tattooed this morning in Soho (he kindly wrote it on a post-it note for the specific purpose).

Oh, and then this happened. Irene, you are a cinnamon roll and we all think you're just the bee's knees ☺️

Toward the end of my third magical stage door encounter I finally had the wherewithal to ask for a photo. Still not brave enough to request a hug but my hand went straight for his glorious tummy of its own accord. My brain ceased to function at that point and I am now deceased 💀

There are no words to describe how grateful I am to Michael, the phenomenal cast and the best fandom on earth for this unforgettable experience. I genuinely hope MS knows how loved he is and how much we appreciate all he does. This world is a better place because of him 🖤

(btw that adorable Nye kewpie doll is the creation of the talented @buzzinglarrieee and the Nye watercolour was a gift to MS made by @dennissima)

You know the way David wears the same sweaters over and over and holds onto clothes and other things he loves, things that mean something to him, over the years? Seeing the video of him at the Macbeth stage door tonight, that's how it feels like he is holding on to Aziraphale and Crowley and Good Omens...

[puppyeared]

is this your card? ♦️♣️♥️♠️ it isnt but you dont wanna hurt his feelings

[tin-bt]

Lovely things I witnessed Oscar Isaac doing (Saturday edition)

(And have video evidence of)

^ this is my fave pic I took Sat. It’s not even that amazing but it shows him diving right in. ACTORS DONT have to do this!

So, I witnessed Oscar:

• standing on his tiptoes to reach way deep into the fan pool to sign autos

• thanking each person for their compliments

• speaking Spanish to Spanish speaking fans

• taking extra time with a disabled fan

• stopping a lot to take pics

• being told his car had arrived, asked if he was ready to go, said no, stayed several more minutes like around 6-7 min

• being very gracious when receiving gifts

• staying the longest of any actor (I respect their off duty choices. No shade. Just love to Oscar for this)

• he doubled back to some fans he missed (see below). Here’s a reach to sign a hat:

Below he’s receiving a MK drawing

What a sweetie 🤍🖤🤍🖤🤩

•p.s. I know we see his stage door pics and go, “it’s Steven!” Or “Marc!” Or whomever.

Sat. night I got a blended Marc/Poe vibe. (Sunday was definitely Steven)

Anyone there who can comment?

Or anyone have any other thoughts to share on Stage Door Oscar ™ ??

“Oh Josh Groban is the best Sweeney” “no it’s Aaron Tveit” no you’re both wrong cause the best Sweeney Todd was the guy at a local production I saw where one night during epiphany he pointed directly at me, and then after the show I approached him at the stage door about it and how, as a trans man who’s not out to a lot of people, it gave me gender euphoria, and he just replied with “glad to help”

Nye, Stage Door

Earworm - a ghostly audio drama musical

The Kickstarter for EARWORM is live!

A ghostly audio drama musical from Shadows at the Door featuring rap, hip hop, jazz and musical theatre, with the voice talents of David Ault, Professor Elemental, Ilana Charnelle, Erika Sanderson, Michelle Kelly, and Mark Nixon, with music by Tom Caruana.

Geoffrey Troughton can’t sleep. Music bleeds through the walls at all hours interrupting his paranormal studies. But something has crawled its way from the other side, a sinister earworm eager to sink its hook into the right host. As Geoffrey’s weary yet curious mind is hoisted into the darkness, will he surface from the shadows? Or will he be cursed to play second fiddle within his own soul? …And who will be next?

When I was getting geeked up to see Nye, and dreaming that I might get to meet Michael Sheen at Stage Door, the miscreants at @whickberstreetwriters talked me into getting this shirt, to bring for him to sign.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. "You'll regret it if you don't bring SOMETHING for him to sign," they said to me they said.

Well. I was not prepared for the degree of shame and mortification I felt holding this hilarious and ridiculous shirt, wearing my extreme fandom on my proverbial and literal sleeve.

Of course, he signed it with good grace and a fond little chuckle.

(note: I was NOT wearing the shirt when he signed it, that was a bridge too far, even for me)

At least now I have something to wear to all future GO themed events.

can’t think of anything to say other than it was everything I could have ever expected and wanted and hoped for. seeing them perform truly is an electric experience and I am so, so grateful I got to be there. I’ve never felt such overflowing joy and love in one room before and that truly is down to what a one-of-a-kind group Starkid is. I’m so happy and a little emotional that it’s over but like it’s sung in days of summer, “don’t wanna see you go but it’s not forever, not forever” ⭐️💜
