It was really nice meeting everyone tonight. I'd love to join you all for a drink but sleep is calling me 😂

Well after getting through a bottle of wine and crying abiut 6 times throughout Wicked, I have had a wail of a time! Lush meeting you all! And, on leaving the pub after show at 11:30, bumpted into Rachel who was still signing at stage door and got her to sign my ticket. She was still crying, even after an hour since the show! Brilliant night!

Hopefully run into yous at future shows.

I'm rehearsing the roles of Lynette and Phantom of London. That's kind of greedy, going for 2 Olivier winning roles at the same time?

5:30 at the Wetherspoon near Victoria station you say? I may pop along for a glass of vino if I can. How high is the bar?

Won't lie, the 4 drinks I had in the bar before the show, the 2 in the theatre, and the 3 back in the bar after the show have defeated me...thought I was actually all right, but after leaving Daniel on the tube, I started to realize I am a bit more drunk than I thought. And my head is actually banging.

Disappointed not to make it (I got a deal for my evening show after losing the Dreamgirls lottery but had to collect my ticket by 7 pm latest so not time to get there and back), but glad a good time seems to have been had by all.
Maybe next time some of us who are going to something in more central London/the NT/South Bank could start the ball rolling? Plenty of space in the NT foyer (incl upstairs) if one or two people get there early enough.

I'm loving the image of some slightly tipsy (I'm being generous ) theatre fans giving the usual Saturday night crowds a run for their money haha! So pleased everyone had fun, hopefully next time I'll be in town too! (p.s lots of coffee and paracetamol for those heads today!)

So pleased everyone had fun, hopefully next time I'll be in town too! (p.s lots of coffee and paracetamol for those heads today!) youre being very generous. Particularly in the case of those who remained in the pub when we left for Wicked and were still there when we returned.

Well three of us who went to the show went to the pub afterward... only to walk in and find three of our members, not naming any names... sat in the same place we left them before the show, about three bottles of wine down, singing showtunes. 😂😂

Great idea to have the meet-up, it was lovely to put some faces to names from here - it felt like catching up with old friends! Clearly the best bit was the arrival when everyone stood around looking people suspiciously...
We should definitely do it again for other theatre moments/openings/cast-changes when lots of members are usually at the same show!

Oh my God I am hungover...
I had such a good time, it was really great to meet you all, and especially thanks to Andrew and Ryan for being my pub buddies! I didn't realise quite how drunk I was until I was on the train home, and I also realise I have no memory of leaving the pub!! I'm now hoping I didn't do anything too stupid...

Surely the next meet up should be at a play or a different musical otherwise it's just going to be the Wicked cast change meet up each time and anyone that isn't a queen or under the age 12 may feel a little alienated

Im annoyed by your stereotyping though whilst I know youre joking as Im neither a queen nor under 12. I didnt feel remotely alienated and not everyone who came to the meet was a Wicked fan. For what its worth had I not been going to the theatre yesterday, either Wicked or anything else, I would have still made the arduous rail replacement bus trip up to meet people from here. It wasnt the Wicked cast change meet to me at all.

Perhaps we should try and work out when the largest number of non-Londoners are in town to have the next meet although that might be a bit complicated.
Of course the next meet doesn't actually have to be in London . . .

Very apt too.
