'Cas I was just wonderin. like u already know im going to c phantom again on the 27th and im really hoping to see him and then catch him when he's leaving.  and im wondering if he actually has heard about the petition, like whether a fan, friend or relative or just anyone has mentioned it. if i do or any other fan do happen to bump into Ant can we ask if he knows about it and whether he wants to sign. . . just thought id get the *thumbsup* from the boss..  |

Well you'll probably get there before my plan gets into action, so I might as well tell you ((I had planned on keeping this to myself and organised things with them before presenting it, but then you brought it up!!)) Not only did I send a letter to London yesterday but I also sent one to Melbourne ... and two parcels to N.S.W. ((which has nothing to do with this, but I ended up sending a lot of things out yesterday XD])). I don't really have to say WHERE in Melbourne, I think it's pretty obvious. I had also planned of gathering a lot more signatures before I leave for my next trip so I can somehow slip someone ((hopefully him)) an updated version of the petition; possibly I'll be seen as an annoying stalker-fan, as the one I've sent to them is the second copy to them, the first to Lord Webber, and the next one will be their third, but it's the only thing within my power TO do ((as I am not fortunate enough to have extended powers and get behind the velvet rope)). Whether or not I'll get any responses from either London or Melbourne, I don't know, but I gave them the details ((and the hint)) to do so should they want to have any further discussion about the subject ((which I would like to have happen, as I've asked - in both letters sent yesterday - what their opinion is on it and whether or not they would like to participate should it get off the ground [that last bit was for the cast and crew, obviously; I don't want to force them into it and therefore had to ask the question])).
...
But if you wish to ((this goes to everyone)) you're free to download the most updated versions of the petition ((better to do this right before you go to the theatre, and to change the date, time and signature count if necessary [I'll highlight them in red, so just change those back to black when you're ready to print])) and hand it out to anyone you meet. If you wish to do this just let me know ((you can do so openly on this thread; it's not a secretive thing after all, we WANT the world to know about this)) and I'll e-mail you the copy I've been printing off ((that way you don't have to copy and paste the petition from here and fuss about the format and so forth; plus there's a brief explanation at the top of the first page, so you don't have to worry about trying to write down what it's about)). Don't post your e-mail address in any posts if you wish to keep your e-mail private to the net; I can see every member's e-mail.
TO ANY GUESTS WHO FIND THIS SITE AND THIS POST: If you want to spread the word about this petition too, I'm afraid you'll have to register for me to get your e-mail; I can't make the board free-to-post for guests because every time I do I get hit by porn-bots ((which tends to bring out the Hyde in me; trust me, you don't want to see that)) so just make a quick registration, introduce yourself in the introduction thread ((because it's polite to do so, that's why)), come here and ask me to e-mail you a copy.
TO EVERYONE: Please don't ask me to print it off and mail it to you. A) It's a very slow process, as sometimes Australia Post screws us over, and B) My printer's on the fritz again and making white lines in some sentences, so until I can get the heads cleaned properly ((and buy more ink; I need a lot more ink)) I'm pretty much without a printer atm.

ohh. makes sense!  bcas i was thinkin even if we did hav the thumbs up from Lord Lloyd Webber (is that how u say it? i get confused.  ) we'd still have to make sure the cast, crew and everyone else is prepared to aswell. sorry if this was suppose to be a surprise . . . well if its ok with u mit print off a copy. not to say i will meet Ant or anyone but hopefully. I'll PM you.  |

WE'VE CAST THE FIRST RIPPLE.
This came in my inbox today from the Executive Producer of the Really Useful Group:
Dear Maria,
Many thanks for your letter which we received today. We thank you for your interest in the production, and glad to hear that you will soon be enjoying the show again in January.
At this stage there are no plans to record this production for the Australian and New Zealand tour. We are grateful for your interest, and appreciate the time you have taken to write to us.
We do hope you enjoy the show in Melbourne when you return next month.
Kind regards,
Allie
I know it's not much, but at least it's been read, and they were kind enough to send a response ((my that mail was quick!))
Funny thing is, it's addressed from New South Wales, so I'm still mentally debating whether or not this is from the one I sent to Melbourne ((in which case I have the suspicion that the cast and crew don't know about it)) or the one I sent to London ((and that someone from there sent a note to New South Wales to contact me)). Anyway, the point is, it's a start.
PS: The e-mail had "been blocked for my safety"; hotmail suggested that it "could be dangerous". XD

Hehe, yes - those RUG hooligans, you can't trust 'em! But that's great Mar - well sad in one sense definately, but it's good that you heard back from them in some form.

This is a fantastic idea, it would so awesome to see an Australian cast recording out there, show the world how good our musical theatre is (Ant in particular!). It's good to see they actually gave you a response, and hopefully after this, plus the petition from way back when, they might give it serious thought (if they know what's good for them!)

I signed up to Facebook not long after I started the petition and advertised in the We Love Anthony Warlow Club; got maybe one or two signatures from it, haven't done a recent one. Here is a link to the club. |

Maybe she's secretly formulating a crush oh dear Ant / Erik and is conjuring imaginary scenarios of him whisking her / Christine away ...

Gawd I want a cape; or at least Captain Corcoran's boat-cloak. *giggletantrum*

lol im pretty sure her fav phantom is gerald butler, every time we watch the movie she sits there going "he is so hot..." then it'll show a shot of emmy who she'll say is also looking hot, then her attention goes back to gerald. ;D
i had a cape made for me awhile ago, oh good times!
anyways, you should come in a cloak/cape or at the very least in captain corcoran's boat cloak XD
