Tuesday 6th April
First of all apologies for an omission from last Wednesday - a mobile phone went off during the first dance studio scene - it rang about 6 times and Adam turned to face the front, put his hands on his snakies and said in perfect Tony tones "Do ya wanna get that?" to huge applause.
No such amusements last night, but Adam clearly in a good mood from the start. So pale though - we had seen him loping along Argyll St with a big Diesel bag earlier (going home with all new duds - Adam's bags no 435) and he was almost translucent. Still no JC or Adrian - they've gone gone gone and we never got chance to say goodbye.
When Ads took of his shirt he had some difficulty getting it off so he ripped open his flies as he walked over to the bed leaving us a glimpse of what I think was a dance belt - so he doesn't wear anything under there after all!. There was a high proportion of lewd gestures during Boogie Shoes - sometimes they're barely out of 4th form.
Great dancing and lots of embellishments to the songs. The scene with Tony's mother was very very powerful - he seems to glow with a hidden fire that suddenly bursts out when he is allowed to act.
Second half they were all having such a good time. Very funny scene with Adam and Anita at the end of which they had to hold each other up they were laughing so much. Immortality was just unbelievably good - completely stunning. He was quite giddy at the encore using his vast repertoire of funny walks.
Stage Door semi-mobbed. He came out at 10.50 sans hat but avec glasses, in brown jacket, snazzy suede shirt and brand new jeans with about 2 inches of turn up. How sweet is that - couldn't wait to get his new strides on.
Anyway someone asked him how many shows he had left and his jaw dropped, he turned to me and said "How many?" and I said 14 and he said "there you are 14" which was quite funny. What are we going to do without that boy? (CJ)
Wednesday 7th April
No indication that Adam had already done one performance today as he was as bouncy and full of beans as if it was a Monday. Clearly knows he's on the home strait now and is playing each show for all its worth.
How Wardrobe have managed to hold those black trousers together with the glue on the knees and Ads expanding waistline I will never know.
Disco Duck is just getting worse - Richard laying an egg with his bits all a quiver is a true site to behold and it's a credit to the gang that any of them manage to keep a straight face through it
In the scene where Father Frank leaves to get his Bus I saw David PB (who was standing in as FFJ) as close to losing it as I've ever seen (He's usually not involved in jokes and japes) with Adam using his full range of over the top expressions.
But again the dancing was precise and breathtaking, Adam was acting his little heart out and Immortality was heart -stopping.
Another gang of Americans in complimenting Adam on his excellent Brooklyn accent.
During the encore Adam and Richard were riding horses. Adam then getting of his and feeding it some sugar?
Stage Door mobbed again. JC was around and went down to meet Rebecca - when asked why he wasn't in the show he held up his arm to display what looked like a broken wrist and said "I'm broken. I'll be out for another three weeks". So that explains that one.
A very sweet, relaxed and happy looking Adam didn't appear till way after 11 o'clock. In leather jacket, new jeans, new glasses and baseball cap he hung around for ages happily signing, posing for pictures and even gave out a few hugs. (No kisses mind!).
He said to Emily when he got near "I was riding a horse" - when he was on stage she'd asked him what he was up to. We'd worked that much out but why we wanted to know. "Because it seemed like that was what Richard was doing!"
So with L waiting patiently we worked our way outside the gates to meet CJ who had just turned up to say goodnight to us after a visit to Oklahoma to see the delicious Hugh Jackman. As Adam came out the gates and turned round to look for L he saw Christian standing with us and called out "Hi Christian" and she ignored him. Can you believe this. Anyway I nudged her ,as Adam , who I'm sure is not used to being ignored called her again and she called out "Hi" looking rather stunned.
Only 12 more left.!!!!!!!!!
Thursday 8th April
My fourth show of the week but definitely no SNF fatigue setting in for either me or Adam. Contrary to my previous reports Adrian Sarples is back as Joey and Adam was obviously pleased to see him and showed it at the beginning of Boogie Shoes - we will get chance to say goodbye after all.
Adam has now introduced an Elvis impersonation into Boogie Shoes and continues to josh with the boys about the girls boobs. But tonight he definitely had the most wicked sparkle in his eyes turning them more green than the aquamarine we're used to.
Much smiling and giggling with Anita and Tara and is now adding whoops, yeahs and extra little jumps into Night Fever. At this point he really , really looked like he was enjoying the whole thing so much. I certainly was.
Richard Calkin is gonna do himself a serious injury if he persists with that lewd egg-laying move in Disco Duck. And some of the wigs on the dancers in that scene also looked decidedly dodgy. The "nauseous leotard" line seems now to have been permanently added to the script.
At the Dance Contest Richard asked Chester if he's "Ever been in the Grenadier Guards" and again suggested that Adam "Wears a wig you know". Adam still burying his chin into Anita's cleavage at every possible opportunity.
The encore was lively and the audience were on their feet in seconds. A full house with what seemed like a majority of repeat visitors trying to get their Adam fix before he leaves. This of course resulted in the now obligatory mob at the Stage Door.
Adam had three different sets of visitors in - including Simon Williams (the actor whose son Tam starred with Adam in Birdy) so was quite late coming out - about 11.20. But L had already left so Adam was relaxed jokey and quite happy to take as long as it took for the assembled throng to get there autographs and pics.
We showed him some of the pictures we're planning to put on the site after he's gone. He really laughed and is dying to know where we got them from. (We're not telling).
He then headed off for the Tube with half a dozen girls still in hot pursuit.
THIS IS REALLY OUT OF ORDER GIRLS - DO NOT DO IT.
