Ahhh Kerkerian, I have opening night tickets too!!  Sorry for not replying for so long, I've not forgotten you!!! xx

Aww phantom, big hugs to you from me, I am a bit worried about you now!!  When I have felt at my lowest I have (possibly ridiculously) thought about what Benedict would do.  I'm sure he would tell you not to put yourself in a difficult position in order to get tickets to see him. 

The Barbican is massive - over 1,000 seats and I am confident everyone who wants a ticket will get one - maybe not their first choice of date or best choice of seat but we will all get to see him.

Please do not worry yourself about what might go wrong (although I appreciate I'm the one that started the 'what if he's ill thing!).  Rebecca is right - I don't think he would have signed up to do it if he didn't think he could take it.  There is a long way to go before the actual event and I'd hate to think you were worrying for all that time.

If you were in the UK I'd say make a cup of tea and everything will seem better - is there an equivalent in Denmark?! (And I'm not belittling how you feel, I honestly believe a cup of tea does make you feel better!!)

More hugs and I hope you are feeling better today xx

Yes, I read that as long as you can be flexible on dates then everyone should get tickets who want them.  I am just praying he doesn't get poorly - my sister missed out on seeing him in Frankenstein at the NT as he was poorly boy.  Hopefully lots of healthy living will mean he can survive what is bound to be a gruelling run.

Not nuts, just dedicated  .  (Oh maybe, a little bit nuts but I blame Benedict for making us all a wee but crazy!!)

other than Mrs H, I can't really think of anybody else I would want to go...if you know what I mean!

 
Noooo, they couldn't get rid of Mrs H - she looks after the boys to let them do their funky stuff!!

Thanks for the heads up.  I haven't really been a fan of setting Shakespeare in the modern day but yes, sounds interesting.

Must book me some tickets!!

I know, I feel really lucky that I have this not far from me and I don't want to miss out but as you choose seats when you book would be good to see if anyone else wants to come too.  Just hope I don't leave it too long.....

Keep an eye on your post lovely

Oh good lord it looks like he's just rolled out of bed and put on the first crumpled shirt he could find.  Mind palace alert!!

This just adds fuel to the 'you get what you pay for' and until the shoppers stop buying cheap (and I totally understand about financial pressures!) the manufacturers and suppliers won't do anything about it.  Disappointed in the Co-operative who I always thought were ethical providers.

Also concerned about feeding fish (trash) to fish.

Cause for thought and I wonder whether it would have reached such a wide audience if Benedict hadn't lent his voice...
