Seeing Six Ramble

Ok so this probably isn’t really gonna be an analysis of the show, more just me gushing about my day because I don’t have good days often so I want people to know that today was a good day.

So I went with my bestie irl which automatically meant it was gonna be fun :)

We arrived in London like 4 hours early so we went and got pizza and had a little wander around Leicester square before we went to collect the tickets.

When we got to the theatre we found out that Vicki was gonna be on for Howard!! Courtney was on for Seymour too but that was scheduled whereas Vicki Howard was a surprise!!

It was still really early for the show so my friend took me to look around Covent Garden for a bit and I just kept remembering that we were gonna see Vicki Howard and Courtney Seymour and I kept getting really excited (if you couldn’t tell from my blog, I really love Vicki and Courtney).

We had to try and find a Paperchase to get some sharpies for stagedoor because we both forgot to bring our own - we managed to go the wrong way despite Google’s specific directions so it took us about 15 minutes to find the paperchase that we had literally walked past on our way to Covent Garden XD

At the theatre just before the show I got one of the snazzy water bottles that they sell and a t-shirt (I saved all my money over the summer for this trip XD)

We were sitting in the balcony (seats D11 and D12) and oh my god I forgot how much I love the harpsichord covers that they play before the show.

The show itself was INSANE. I’ve seen it before and watched many a boot/audio but I forgot just how good it was live.

Jaye’J killed No Way - she was injured last time I saw the show so I didn’t get to see her dance then but wow that girl can move!

Millie was fantastic in DLUH, of course. She seemed even more energetic than last time if that’s even possible!

I cried so hard during HoS. Courtney was so incredible and that song already means a lot to me so there were emotions and yeah it was beautiful. She changed up the ending a bit so she sung a lower line when it came to the “stoOoOoOoOne, can’t break me, can’t break me” part - kinda like the harmonies Parr and Howard sing during that bit but it worked SO WELL.

HoH was just hilarious as usual - Vicki was doing her special move (the one she mentioned in her interview with Aunty Willy), Maiya actually did the macarena and Courtney literally fortnite-danced (I was aware that she might do that but seeing it live was the best thing ever).

Lexi was hilarious in Get Down. Her sass was on point and I LOVE her voice so much. The person she picked to dance with her didn’t want to get up and she ended up making some joke about how they “didnt want to get up, just like my ex”!

Howard has always been a role I’ve wanted to see Vicki play and oh boy was it amazing. Her timing was perfect for the roasts she delivered before the show and her AYWD was just literal perfection (I love Aimie but having seen them both now I honestly think I preferred Vicki’s version)! During the argument scene she yelled something to Boleyn about how she was “family and family should stick together” and I died.

Maiya as Parr was also something I didn’t get to see last time (I saw Vicki as Parr in July) but those riffs were absolutely heavenly.

Not related to the actresses but someone was trying to film the show in the front row of the balcony but they were being really unsubtle so the ushers caught on really quickly... (like if you’re gonna boot the show, don’t sit in the centre of the front row of the balcony?? That’s like the most visible spot in the whole theatre XD)

We managed to be the first in line at stagedoor which was cool! I got to meet Maiya and she signed my programme and I got a selfie with her and I got Millie to sign my programme too :)

I made some art for Vicki and Courtney and whilst Courtney didn’t stagedoor Vicki did and I got to give it to her in person. She literally opened it then and there which was cool and she recognised the original pencil drawing I included because I put it on Instagram last week and she saw it then but when she saw the final coloured version she loved it and SHE HUGGED ME!! I think I actually died ngl. I asked if I could get a picture but my hands were shaking too much to get a non-blurry one so she offered to take it and honestly I’m still so excited about the whole experience ahhhhhh. And she was so sweet as well - she offered to take my art for Courtney as well because she knew she wasn’t gonna come out because she was tired from doing Seymour all week and I’m still freaking out.

So yeah in a nutshell today was like actually the best day ever :)
