January 2002 Festival Theatre, Chichester(TBC) I arrived on Wednesday night at the theatre with my friends! I was a little aprehensive about it because this was a muscial I had seen far too many times before! I bought a programme and was looking thru as we waited for the show start, I stopped, and squeezed the hand of my friend sitting next to me! I had just seen one of the most stunning things my eyes had ever been blessed with: the picture of Trevor Jary who was to play Pharoah and Simeon! now I knew this play would b a good one! As the brothers came on stage I frantically looked for Trevor, and there he was, at the top of the steps, I flumped back in my seat ( the woman behind must hav thought I fainted!) The first half was brilliant, but I knew the best was yet to come! as the lights went down for the second half, it felt like the butterflies in my stomach were doing cross country.....i sat therew waiting, and then it came, the start of the song, and trevor came running down the steps to the stage! WOAH!!! could those Elvis trousers b any more tighter????this was unbelievable, I had never been so in love in my life!!!! Naturally at the end of the show, I was first to get up out of my seat and rush round to stage door! I asked the lady if I could wait for Trevor and she was happy for me to do so! And out came all the cast members, and whilst waiting I decided to also get their autographs! It got to 10.10 and Trevor had already been called twice as his taxi had arrived..but still no one! all the dressing rooms where empty and it was silent...when suddenly...I heard it "Hey hey hey Joseph, won't u tell poor old Pharoah!" Oh My God it was him! despite the fact he was in a rush for the taxi he was happy to sign my programme!The lady had to literally scrape me off the floor afterwards! But as those who know me will tell u, I can never just leave it at that! I managed to persuade one of my friends to come with me on the friday night! she was a little unsure as she thought this was just another of my obsessions again! So we went thru the whole procedure again! Only this time, I thought I really was about to faint! Again we went backstage and as they had another performance in an hour, we had to ask the lady to call him for us! And he came thru.....in his DRESSING GOWN!!!!!! It turned out he was on the way to the shower and happened to have nothing on underneath!!! aaaaa! But still, this was not enough for me, and despite not being able to go to the show on Saturday night, I dragged my little brother to the theatre with me and we went backstage AGAIN!! this time I was armed and ready with a camera! and i was surprised at how happy he was to stop and pose with me! God I felt I could conquer the world with that perfectly formed arm round my waist! And some might say it would have been best to leave it there...but hey, not me!! Me and my friend (who I have now converted to a Trevor fan) are going along to Woking( which for us is about a 2 hour train journey!) in march to see the performance of Joseph there!! So.....well.....i suppose it was quite good really!!! much love and trevor hugs, x EMILY x |
