Hi,
I'm new to the forum so I apologise now if I put a question into the wrong group or anything!

I'm going to see the matinee of La Cage on 29th October I just wondered is there any part of the show where any of the performers go into the aisles or interact with the audience in any way, it's just as I have a phobia of people in costume if they come near me and for this show I have seats at the end of a row so i'm slightly worried.

Also I'd like to see the cast at the stage door, but as I've got to catch a train after the show and I anticipate the stage door to be very busy afterwards I may be unable to. Does anyone know what sort of time the cast may arrive before a thursday matinee?

Thanks

As long as you are not on the cabaret tables at the front, you should be fine!

I agree .. the front row & the cabaret tables are really the only places where there is interaction & those people are always talked to first & if they don't wish to sit there other people swap so don't worry

There is one occaision where 2 of the cagelles appear quite suddenly in the dress circle but at the side at the top of the stairs during the birdcage number ..... Their costumes then are probably the most striking . I once sat on the front row & ended up with Nick Cunninghams can-can skirt over my head ..... but my own son was in the show at the time & had tipped him off I suspect!!!

Enjoy the show ... it is such a laugh !

Did most of the cast come out at the end of the afternoon show.

They all came out but most don't stop to chat as they know most people are waiting for John, many just walk off down the street presumably to get something to eat and have a break.
Simon was brilliant with everyone at the stage door, he was really chatty and stayed out there for ages and had many photos taken.
John took about 35 minutes to come out as he had to do an interview or something, you can't have your picture taken with him and he wouldn't do personalised signings as he only has a short time before the evening show. He was still lovely and chatty but many people get something signed and then just stand there so it can be hard to actually get a chance to speak to him and stuff.
Syrus Lowe stopped to chat and sign programmes as the audience loved him!
I'm sure other members of the cast would stop though.

Unfortunately many of the people waiting for Barrowman at the stage door have not been to the performance and are simply autograph collectors and traders. They also tend to act in an intimidating manner towards genuine fans.

John did pull someone up on this on Saturday.
