Ditto to that HalGal! It was certainly a long run, both at the Lyttelton and on tour!
Just to clarify to peeps, Damien played the lead in TL but because he co-starred with Sir Antony Sher, who is nothing less than actor royalty so it seemed also appropriate to also mention him in the supporting actor role, as well as Best Actor and Newcomer Of The Year. even though he had more stage time. Hope that makes sense! but it is up to you all which category you vote for him in, I am just showing support in every available avenue, then it is up to whatsonstage to determine the appropriate nominations!
For anyone interested and who is not following the fansite, here is a related newsy article:
The nominations process runs until 30 November, so plenty of time left to vote for Damien if you haven't already! Spread the word!
There is also the opportunity to attend the Whatsonstage Awards and Ceremony, Sunday 17 February next year, tickets sell out fast apparently so get in there quick and you never know, you may get to see our man receive an award! fingers crossed!
Have you all voted for Damien? and also for Travelling light in as many categories as possible! Best Ensemble performance would be a great thing to honour the performances of all the actors!
oops my bad, sorry Su, that must be Laura and Becca I am thinking of. Well, you are also voting for all of us fans who didn't get to see it at all too...!
haha! ok then, every Travelling Light performance! how many were there exactly I wonder.... including the Lyttelton and the tour? It was a long run from January to June...including matinees....
Well, I voted....a bit....and I didn't see it at all (should I admit to that?). Didn't need to - surely it's a given that he was brilliant and so deserves a nomination. I'm not sure that I've managed to vote for each and every performance though!
