This is a joyous sort of review which frankly told me everything I wanted to hear! Especially regarding Burn being so slight - I was very worried he wouldn't look as menacing next to Jodie. I absolutely cannot wait to go, and would go now if I possibly could, but my tickets are for 8th April or something ridiculous like that. We booked in July and that was the first date me and various relations could all go together with good seats!
I'm far more excited about seeing Burn and Rowan Atkinson than Jodie right now, but that might change nearer the time. You're so lucky you got to see Gwion! He was my favourite of all the Olivers right from the beginning and I would just love to see him in the role, but obviously there's only a 1 in 3 chance of it when I go. You are also very lucky to get to the stage door. My mother never wants to do that sort of thing, mainly because if it's an evening performance we have to run to Charing Cross to get a train, but I would be so so happy if I could meet Burn :)
