As We Stumble Along

If all goes according to last night's plan, I'm going to see The Drowsy Chaperone tonight on the West End.

I'm excited about this for a number of reasons ...

• Bob Martin has come from New York to be the man in the chair




• They've asked me to replace him when he goes back to the US or Canada (not sure what he's doing yet, I don't start rehearsals until mid-July)




• It'll be interesting to see what Miss Page does with the title role (will they beef up what is pretty much a supporting ... although award-winning ... role? will we be able to see her behind that big martini glass?)




• Terry's in town and doesn't know much about the show, so he'll pee himself, which is always entertaining




• I'm very curious to see how they've changed it from the original script (surely they've London-ized it a bit?)




• I love to put a monkey on a pedestal

Fingers crossed it didn't get too watered down on the trip across the pond.
