Gutted that I can't get there to the event but I had the pleasure of meeting Genevieve Lemon after I watched her fantastic performance in the amazing Billy Elliot. I was a bit nervous and embarrassed to be standing around stage doorways - I felt a little like Eve Harrington from All About Eve. Genevieve couldn't have been nicer and signed my programme and posed for photos with me. I don't think she could believe that Prisoner is still as big as it is and that people who would only have been in short pants during the original Australian run are so into it.
If you get the chance go and see Genevieve play Mrs Wilkinson in Billy Elliot she is great and I was even able to compliment her Pit Yakker accent coming from the same village that it's set in myself.
I hope you enjoy meeting both if you are lucky enough to attend the event!
