ITS ALL DOWN TO DENIS

Posted on December 4th, 2009 by Doug and tagged .

i do think its all down to denis... or denise as we should probably call him ha ha. hes just a JOY to be opposite. well gettin there - its slowly coming back - can remember SOME of the lyrics now - and lovin workin with the new cast and all their rythmns ( sic) . Going out them doors each night is like jumpin into a plunge shower. whys it always the winter when i do this show? and yes the album not there on the first night but is there now and has sold like... a hot cake. ahem. it is a bit diff to la cage but there we are. c u there - the shows growin every night. xx

well here i am back in the masculine - so many comments re la cage.. thanku. theres nothing odder than moving on and knowing the rest of the cast are still there doing the show. With a play this never really happens - you all finish together - if you know what i mean - its odd to think of my cagelles still doing their stuff with someone else... and even odder at home at half past seven when you still get that surge of adrenalin with nowhere to put it.

LA CAGE FINISH

Posted on January 4th, 2009 by Doug and tagged .

happy new year. just been reading all these comments - thankyou so much. ... so that temporary blip for new year week is please god over and im back. denis lawson is still off but hopefully back soon. meanwhile rob and duncan his understudies did an amazing job this weekend. 8 shows a week, in the winter, extra xmas shows, royal variety extra rehearsals...kids bringing home coughs to try on, travellin on the tube like steppin into a consumption ward - its all pretty predictable and i spose unavoidable but hopefully now we'll all be well and can storm to the finish line on 17th jan.
