Just to let you know...

Hey all, so just to clear up some stuff for those of you who might've seen my tweets from Phantom tonight and gotten worried: all is fine.

I had a panic attack about half way through Hannibal and had to get up and leave (I am SO sorry to all the performers and audience about that! If I could've sorted myself out a different way, I would have). It wasn't related to the show, but it came out of nowhere and I was freaked out. The ushers were wonderful, and came out to check on me right away. I ended up sitting in an usher seat near the back for the rest of the first act because I wasn't sure if it would happen again. For the second act, I was moved down to the stalls to be near a door; I ended up in Row C (2nd row) right next to the door, and I was fine the rest of the show. I completely forgot about the first act about 5 minutes into the 2nd. The show was just so well done. Olivia is flawless, Gero is terrifyingly awesome, and Antony is just completely badass (excuse the language, but it's the best description for his Raoul). It was an incredible performance and I enjoyed the second act immensely. I was a blubbering mess during the final lair. 

But I'm completely ok. I actually got to see some cool things sitting in the Usher's seat; there was a women standing in the back taking notes and dancing along to the choreography up until the end of the first act and I saw Scott Davies walk in. I was escorted down to my new seat through the back stairs; I walked right past Olivia's Wishing costume and two scores hanging up. I wanted to stop and hug them (fangirl moment - Wishing dress is my favourite costume in the history of theatre). But these little things helped me to feel a lot better.

So thank you for your concern; I'm still a bit shaken up (at the moment it's more because I hugged Lara and apparently she's got a stomach bug and I have really bad emetophobia, so it'll be a tense 48 hours) but I'm completely ok! 

XOXOXOXO
