Vera's report
Hi, I went to see Gareth on Monday nights, opening night.Gareth was AMAZING,Gareth was so gorgeous,when he sang it was so emotional I cried so much, he looked so gorgeous,his dear face,bless him I wanted to grab him and cuddle him.He was so cheeky too in parts,when he was dancing one of the girls touched his bottom and it was really funny the exprossions on his face, when he was in shackles I got quite upset and was saying"What are you doing to my poor Gareth.I think this is the very best I have seen Gareth,he is brilliant in Musical Theatre,The whole show is fantastic,you will want to keep going,don't want to tell you to much as it might spoil it for when you go,all I will say is you will have a cry and a good laugh.Fantastic Pictures of Gareth outside,mine didn't turn out very good,but when you so him in the loin cloth you will say WOW,WOW,WOW. I didn't sleep all night,I could still hear his voice singing in my head.

And Roz
My best friend & I randomly decided that we would go up to London for the day today (well afternoon because we went out last night!). As you'd expect, I decided that we had to try and see Gareth at the stage door after this afternoons show, so we wen to the theatre for when it finished.

Gareth came out after about 25mins, and had photos with everyone. He looked up and smiled when he saw me <3 I had 2 photos taken with him (the first my friend had cut his hair off!)

He kept calling me babe and said it was really good to see me. I explained that I had gone to see the show on monday and then he was asking me what i thought.. fantastic of course! He said he was glad and then I had a photo taken, and he said hopefully i'll see you soon and i replied of course he will. My best friend mentioned that Gareth spent the longest time talking to me out of everyone at the stage door, gotta love him.

Ava also dashed to the theatre on her lunch break so got a photo with him aswell. I'll have to wait untill my friend puts the photos on the computer, but wow he was gorgeous like usual!

mine from same day
There isnt anything more i can add to sarahjanes brill report on the day itself but i want to write a lil report off the show from my perspective
I totally understand why once people have been they want to go again and again and again as i could watch it every night and not get bored,ive always been interested in seeing the show anyway but never really got round to it when it was in manchester and londons always seemed too far but like many of us on here we would do anything for gareth,things we never thought we would do the show was brilliant,i knew the songs cos my mum has the cd but seeing gareth playing joseph was even better than i imagined,i knew he would be absolutely brilliant but this is beyond words,i know what everyone means about close every door it was perfect i cant get over it ,i know how good a singer gareth is but i couldnt believe what i was hearing this was with other songs he sang as well its like his done it for years and years,his acting was perfect,his a proffessional at this already,its obviously his natural talent bless him,he deserves this so much,when the show finished close every door was playing round in my head for hours lol till i fe]ll asleep on the coach on the way back to sarahjanes then alsorts of songs were going round,when we went to bed i was lay there for ages staring at sarahjanes many gareth pics just thinking of the show,ill never forget this it was definitly worth waiting for

heres my pic ill treasure
