Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Rob]

She had a proper chat with Scott and PR4L! I knew our Kizmok had grabbed their attention but I wasn't aware she had a proper meet. Jelous jelous jelous.

Gah! If you're going to use this word so many times, it's 'jealous' Rob.

How lovely Kirsty that you got a chat with Joe, PR4L, Scott and promoted UM big time. You look pretty darn good, especially considering you must have been up at the crack of dawn.

Did you meet up with everyone in the pub afterwards? There are a few pics on Twitter of UM members and SMTM people. The 'Scottish meet'.

Eagerly awaiting the first installment of the musical...

[Jono]

I look forward to sharing with you my stories when I'm home, not hungover and awake... until then see my Twitter.

Thanks, Jono, for posting your tweets and your pics and for enabling us to feel as if we're right there in Edinburgh living it up with you guys! Have a drink (or ten) for us!

[DarkAngelMJH]

They wouldn't let him back in? Gutting! Well at least you get to see it twice although you should have gone for Thursday tickets!

Will have to remember go to the bar before we go in.

[Jono]

Yes I'd advise not leaving under any circumstance as they forgot to mention you'd not even be able to stand at the back.

I must thank the lovely ortonangel for putting me up last night and producing an amarzin' map so I could get from hers to the train station. Also thank you to those who put up with me and got me drinks. Very cool to me you all.

Going to see the musical again tonight, Mr Kiz went to the bar as soon as we got in and they wouldn't let him back in! Apparently it's BBC regulations and all that...pfft...whatever! Anyway, Sam the internet guy has sorted it all for us and we're getting to go and see it all again tonight! Whoohoo, so relieved as you can imagine how gutted Mr Kiz was after gettingup at 5am, queuing for 4 hours to get tickets, queuing again to get front row seats and then not seeing the bley thing.

So glad you are able to see it again with Mr Kiz. Jealous much - maybe a wee bit... LOL

[KingTutsWWH]

Think Mr Kiz is a Saint for putting up with your Mills obsession Kirsty. Up at 5 am to not even see the show. Hope he enjoyed the other stuff you saw and likes the musical tomorrow.

Where was he on the video though?

My friend went out for the drinks with Mr Kiz and likewise was stuck outside a closed door during the entire performance while Kirsty & I, along with the fellow UMers sat in the front row wondering where they hell they were (& more importantly where our drinks were kidding). However we managed to beg, grovel and plead for some tickets and the 4 of us went back again last night.

I have to say last night was even better if that is possible! All of Joe's family and friends were in the front row (we were in the 2nd row) and they were soooo loud. They started off a lot of the clapping along with a few of the songs and encouraged a standing ovation at the end! It was a totally different atmosphere.

We went down to the bar again afterwards and PR4L came over to us as soon as she came in to have a wee chat! She remembered us from the previous night (how cool??). She is sooooo lovely, I think we all wanted to adopt her! Kirsty & I got our picture taken with Chappers, who seemed a bit bemused that we would want his picture then another picture with Scott for me (posted on the pic's thread). We chatted with Joe again too, he is sooo sweet! They definitely lucked out getting him for that part, he is BRILLIANT! I really hope he goes far with his acting, he totally deserves it! No after parties for me last night tho as getting home to bed at 4:30am when I need to be up at 7am for work did not work out well for me yesterday morning!!

All in all, an absolutely brilliant show that 100% deserves its 5* reviews I can't wait to watch it all on the website again. I hope someone You Tubes it so that I can download it and keep it forever

[Jono]

Very jealous you go to go again, Jo. I was a bit concerned that it'd lose the novelty if I saw it again. I suppose I should have planned it a bit more so I stayed up a bit longer but it's difficult for students as we're all using the summer to work and it was quite a last minute decision to come up!

[Viv]

Well done, The Kizmok!! Sounds great!!

[goldengirl]

If they do it again you'll need to plan a full week off and come up for the whole lot I was soooo excited about seeing it again, you definitely should have stayed longer and gone to all 3 shows. They made a couple of small changes last night too. During the "Susan" bit, Joe said last night that he was from the Forrest of Dean instead of Southampton, then during the Susan/Rob sketch Rob had the Zebra print pants on again instead of the Superman ones & the special guest last night was Denise Van Outen.

I thought they were going to be filming it every night but PR4L said they only filmed the Dress Rehearsal and the first night, so all of the stuff that is going on the website is the first night. They actually let people go to the toilet and come back again last night!!

I loved getting to meet all the "celebs" but it was really nice to meet everyone form UM too & to find out that people off of the internet can actually be quite normal ha ha.

[Viv]

Loved the review from "what's on stage" magazine :

"The audience at the Pleasance went bonkers at the end of one of only three sold-out performances. Well, they were entitled to; they'd written it."

[Jono]

He said he was going to join. Yet to see his appearance!

[goldengirl]

Haha, he's just after telling me to get off the bley laptop so he can sign up!

Yay I just left Mike about half an hour ago and he promised to go home and sign up too!! We are good at this recruiting malarkey

[popbitcher]

i see that dark angel has just met aled so i am hoping to see picture evidence!

[kirsty09]

hi jono. I was behind you on Tuesday night at mills the musical but was too scared to tweet or say hi are you really that scary ?

[Jono]

hi jono. I was behind you on Tuesday night at mills the musical but was too scared to tweet or say hi are you really that scary ?

Apparently so...? It's a shame you didn't say hello but it's cool you recognised me.

[goldengirl]

hi jono. I was behind you on Tuesday night at mills the musical but was too scared to tweet or say hi are you really that scary ?

Aw Kirsty you should have said hello to us all The whole left side of the front row were UMers Honestly Jono really isn't that scary, I promise!

[Jono]

I did have quite a few people talk to me that night who I have no idea who they were. My confusion is over interpreted as scariness I think.

[DarkAngelMJH]

A big teddy bear aren't you Jono?

[Jono]

A big teddy bear aren't you Jono?

Less of the big!

[goldengirl]

Less of the big!

Men don't normally complain about that..... :*

[DarkAngelMJH]

:shock: Terrible! :giggle:

[goldengirl]

You're well famous in the world of Mills - you'll be signing autographs at the next musical.

Damn! We should have got Jono's autograph at the same time, we could have been the owners of the first ones!!!
