This is the first time I met & spoke to Shaun properly I met him both before & after the show.
Before the show
Shaun came out from rehersals so I said hello & asked could I have a photo taken with him so he said yes & put his arm around me & cuddled me into his chest. He held me really tightly I could have stayed there forever it was soo lovely. Then he asked if we were going to the show so we said yes & he said we had to give him a wave & get up & join in singing & dancing as they were all really nervous.
After the show
Shaun came out all dressed up ready for the party looking particularly gorgeous & sexy in his suit. He was just going to wonder off when I said hello so he stopped to talk to me. He asked if I had enjoyed the show so I said of course it was brilliant as always & he was really pleased with how well it had gone & was really happy! I said iam glad you have more of one more angel in heaven back as you lost a bit too much of it in the preview shows & he laughed & said it is ok we were just trying different things out.

He came back out & said that he had found Henry but they had lost the car keys so he was going to the shop & he would see me in a minute.
He came back & Allie & Lindsey asked him to draw a self portrait for their charity auction for the Robyn Brooks fund.He said was going to draw himself being evil in the show & I said no he had to draw him doing the goofy bit as Allie calls it & he said good idea I asked did he know which bit I meant & he said yes & I told him it was the bit were hes selling Joseph to the ismalites & he laughed & said yes he was going for goofy & I said I prefared to describe it as cute myself. He said he couldnt turn his evil face into a goofy face so he would have to draw another one & drew two different picture of himself! Allie & Lindsey gave him a badge from the Robyn Brooks fund for doing his drawing. He said he would have to go & check if they had found the keys & help look for them.
He came Back out & said they had found they keys he had found them in the green room & Henry had gone to get the car.

I asked if he was doing it & he said I dont know am I so I laughed & said I didnt know I was hoping he would know & he said he didnt know anything about it other than what he had seen advertised in the shop & did I know what was happening or if he was doing it. I said I didnt know what was happening it was all a bit confusing James joined our conversation & said that he was doing the dress circle event so Shaun asked when was it & was he doing it before or after the show.I said I thought he would be involved after from what I could gather it was just a reception before Shaun, James & I talked about the technical problems with the show James said his shows were best with no lights anyway & that despite them the three shows had been good & gone well! the audiences had been good in all three shows especially the last one I said about the headbutt that had happened with Russel when Lee pushed him down during grovel grovel & Shaun said he had got it in the 5 oclock show so moved for the eight!
