At first, I didn't mind not watching the play but I am soooo glad I did. It was a REALLY REALLY wonderful stage play! The Globe theater is so small! And what's better? Ours were "on hold tickets for authorized personal" how did we get these kind of tickets when they were sold out? The story is quite long but my sis begged my father every single day and minute that my father's friend said he'd try and ask his friend who's a celeb (not TV though) that has a lot of connections. And from what I heard, he talked to someone who works with the stage play stuff and that person talked to the director!
So our seats were S seats, in the middle-ish of row D (
look here) which is really close to the stage and I'm pretty sure it's the best seats because the entire stage was viewable; even though row A is super close, you can't see the entire stage well. There was 2nd and 3rd floor seats. I saw people bring binoculars but I'm sure there was no need for that because the theater is small..so small.
The director, Robert Allan Ackerman, was there with his wife as well as a translator and body guards. Do directors usually watch the entire play with their families? Well, my sis was really eager to ask him for his signature because she's into the entertainment business like what he does.
A bell rang a few minutes before the play started and when it did, there's a loud bang & the light go out!
( Spoiler!..in a way.. for those who haven't read the book nor seen the play )I'm pretty sure they weren't using mics though. I didn't see any sign of mics at all so I wonder what that popping sound was when Nino jumped on the sofa lol
The entire cast expect Nino came out, bowing. Then the stage turned, Nino alone, he bowed and the man who played Guy came out a little too early but laughed when Nino laughed and told them to come out. They bowed all together and left. They came out a second time, us audience stood up and kept clapping, they left again after bowing. We kept clapping, they kept coming out bowing like 4 times in total lol
When it actually finished, my sis asked me if she should go ask for the director's sig or not. I told her to go for it, I had given her both my blue and black pens during the intermission. She ran for it. And she got his sig. She said, "Excuse me, if it's not much of a bother, can I please have your signature?" in English, of course. And he replied, "It is because other people will start asking...but ok." She said he didn't show a bothered face because all I saw was a smile from him when she was talking to him. She said that when she got it, other people started opening their pamphlets but he left before anyone else could ask. She has to be the only one who has his sig...for real. Her hands were shaking lol And he used my blue pen 8DD
Please Do NOT take this out of my journal!!
Hopefully, I'm not missing much because I want it as accurate as possible to remember forever XDD I mmight keep adding stuff if I remember anything I missed out XD
