I travelled to Sarahjanes last Friday Morning getting a coach at 9.15am from Manchester to Birmingham arriving at 12pm at Digbeth coach station, where i walked to the bus stop at New street Station to get a bus to Sarahjanes house 
i finally arrived there at around 2pm think it was. We were going to see the show the following day. Saturday finally came and we got up at 3am got dressed in our outfits (pics to follow) had some toast at 4am and left Sarahjanes house at 5.30am to catch a bus to the Coach station to get our coach at 7.15 am to Manchester. we arrived in Manchester at 10.25 where we met Maria and we all then got the Metrolink to the train station to get our train to Leeds we made our way to platform 13 for the 11.11am train to Leeds but missed it by a minute eek so we had to then walk all the way back to platform 3 to catch the next train available, finally we were on our way and we reached Leeds where we caught the little shuttle bus which took us the the bus station opposite the Playhouse so not that far to walk we sat outside the theatre for a bit, we asked some guy who i think was in the show if Gareth had arrived yet and he informed us that he had and was inside warming up, we decided to go inside now as it was getting a bit chilly outside when inside we were looking at some pics of Gareth from the show that were displayed in the lobby when we saw Yorksheather, a friend of Heathers called Renait and Katie was lovely to see you all they informed us that Gareth had already arriived as they had seen his car in the carpark, and that there was no stage door as such as the whole cast walked through the bar/cafe area which was just up some stairs to our right and they went through a green security door at the end. We went to get a programe and then made our way to our seats,me and Sarahjane were sat on row c in the middle while Maria was sat on row a to our left. The theatre was quite small but very intimate, it had no stage just a floor are where the cast were to perform, the scenery was set around this area and the band were behind this The show began with members of the coming on with bits of card showing who was starring in the show each person got a cheer and when Gareth appeared he got a loud cheer as always the songs were in the show were quite up beat and easy on the ears lol, Gareth was excellent, his speech was perfect and his singing was awesome, he plays the baddie well lol .... I loved he way they used the band in the actual show during one scene would deffo recommend it to anyone who was debating whether or not to go see it ;D .. when the show was over we made our way to the green security door where we new Gareth would be coming out, finally he came out at first he was surrounded by people wanting pictures and autographs soon it was our turn Sarahjane, me and Maria got our programes signed and had a pic with him, we had some gifts for him but as he was going for something to eat he said he would take them when he came back, so we waited till he came back and as promised he came over to us and we gave him our gifts and we had a kissy pic each off him before he went back inside. We decided to get something to eat in the cafe, just some chips and roll each well me and Sarahjane had that and Maria just got some chips, we also had a drink from the bar later before catching the bus back to the train station so we could get the train back to Manchester, we arrived back in Manchester at about 1030pm and then got the metrolink back to near the coach station where me and Sarahjane were to get ou coach back to Birmingham at midnight, we had about an hour and a half to wait till it arrived, Maria waited for abit with us untill it was time for her to leave we said bye and and then waited for the coach to arrive. we finally arrived back in Birmingham at 2.40am and got to Sarahjanes house at 3am where her mum had a cup of hot chocolate waiting for us we showed her our pics etc then we went to bed at 4am. The next day Sunday i had to leave to go back home to Manchester here are our pics
