Ah, Xelander you have sooo amazing friends =D I am jealous. I love the UK...but they hate Americans. SEE! See everyone hates Americans! haha! I enjoyed watching this very much!
DUDE! I was born in the City...I LOVE THAT CITY!..Did you go stand infront of the Robinhood statue and have your pic taken :) Like we all do :) My Mum lives in Nottingham..thats my home town :) GO N.F.F.C
This backstage "insider" look is the best one I've ever seen. Clearly, you have a great relationship with these folks or they would never have been so cooperative for your video efforts. The way they are willing to let themselves be seen unprepared on camera was wonderful for those of us who would never ever get backstage for anything. Good job.
Thanks, it's a great cast. We are all praying that if they do transfer it to the West End that they don't start replacing people with actors with bigger names. They will do that a lot of times - I guess it makes more box office sense - but in this case the chemistry of cast is so important that I hope they decide to leave well enough alone and take the chance on the magic that is there with this group.
Sorry to hear they do that. And how silly that would be given that the cast is now as well-integrated as it obviously is in this particular play. I wonder if it is just as well to wish that they don't transfer it to the West End. Maybe (perhaps a crazy idea?) the play itself is less suited to "tonier" surroundings. I say treasure every moment of where you are, doing the thing you love doing!
I'm sorry you missed it to if you live there. That would have been cool. I liked Nottingham. I had a room on Derby Road right across the street from the police station.
Arg, I'm from Nottingham too. Didn't know you were doing this show here - woulda loved to go see it. I don't live far from where you were staying either :£) You were just near Junction 7 and Ropewalk yes?
Yeah, that's right. See you should keep up with all my Xelander videos because I talked about in 3 different videos :P LOL -
That's would been very cool. Well, it might be the last time though. Not only might the show come to London, but there is a remote possiblity that they might bring my one-show there. At least I the script and a tape of it to the artitic director/producer and he said he will look at it and give it consideration. Now that would be awesome and I'll let you know.
Yea havent been keeping up with youtube much lately, hence not hearing about it. Good luck with the future projects and I'll try n keep updated in future ;)
I will, thanks (he was in the credits too, so it wasn't really necessary for you to give this information, but either way it's very kind of you to still do)
Yeah, cool. I did put him the credits but I didn't know if you knew he was here on youtube as well. He as a site were he encourages you to download and use his music.
Well, the next production a play called Breaking the Silence. But this is not a set company. Our cast was who Berkoff cast and they produced the show. Although 3 or 4 of the actors had done stuff there before.
"...honest gov'nah" lol - yeah, very funny. He's quick. It also cracked me up when I said "and you're a muscian as well" and he didn't miss a beat and says "no, I'm a drummer" Actually his band The Breadcrumbs are quite good...did I just say "quite" good? I've been in the UK too long.
That was really fun! Thanks a lot for the backstage view, I love that sort of stuff :) Yay, backstage nudity! I will say it seems like a fun group of people you're working with and it's funny how some of them seemed a *little* camera shy :) "Get out of here with your camera!" lol. I will say it, Coral is lovely. Thanks for taking us in there, I hope to see more if that's possible :)
This was so much fun and has me missing Candide very much!!! Thanks for the great behind-the-scenes. You all are having a BLAST! I sure wish that I could be there to see it.
Fantastic backstage footage of the actors and some of the crew, everyone seemed in terrific spirits-- I'm sure the play went very, very well! You undoubtedly contributed to the good vibes by having everyone ham it up for youtube lol ... and, what the heck, that's a pretty darn way to instill a good vibe. :) All the best.
Yeah I hope so. Well, if this actually goes to the West End here, then that opens the door for possibly New York. Which would be way cool. That would be my ultimate ex-pat revenage.
you guys rule, i'm so sad i can'T be there to watch it... Germany is a little too far for a daytrip xd
