Ooh lovely! I had hoped he would!

Great news! I always had a feeling he should be there but of course it was also a bit wishful thinking. I plan to spend the weekend in Stratford-upon-Avon, didn't have a chance to get a ticket for the theatre but got one for the live broadcast at the local cinema which is not far from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Please wish me luck that I can actually make it! I planned that weekend ages ago, booked a hotel room last year when I first learned there would be a "special event" but now I am not sure if I'll be able to travel. My dad is currently recovering from pneumonia, he spent a week in hospital and I don't want to be far away if he isn't well.

That sounds great, diva. Keeping my fingers crossed that you can manage to make it alright.
Hope your dad will be better soon.

That's the most important part:

Woohoo.

I'd like a comfortable seat in dressing room 101, please.
(But who the heck is this Davis Tennant guy...? Never heard of him... ) *giggle*

Oh so would I! Double trouble!

I would be willing to serve them tea and biscuits just to get into this room. Btw, no idea who this Davis might be.

**Posted by besleybean** April 23, 2016 9:37 am

Though on balance, room 106 will be the most amusing!

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** April 23, 2016 9:37 am

Lmao, I just noticed that now... I guess I am too used to seeing his name that I didn't even notice the mistake!

(and not to make slight of Ben's name... but it's funny how they got that totally right)

Though it takes up SO much space on the paper.
I love seeing his name on the cinema screen, for the same reason...they can just about fit it in on wide screen. Ha!

Yeah, that is definitely the top dressing room!

Another old pal of Benedict's and they are all class acts!

**Posted by SolarSystem** April 23, 2016 12:56 pm

Mattlocked, well, they got two out of four right. And like you already mentioned, they probably had to invest all their energy into spelling this Cumbersbumberswumbers right.

**Posted by besleybean** April 23, 2016 1:20 pm

Ha.

Are you sure you didn't miss a few letters?

well I have a "qwertz" keyboard, so the d is right next to the s. If I weren't a Ten-inch fan that possible could happen to me after seing Ben is there too and being excited and having to type his name next.

God I'm so excited for tonight, so many wonderful people there. 5 hourse to go.
