Had the oppurtunity to pop down to Windsor yesterday with some friends to see our very own Elisabeth Sladen in Peter Pan! There was only a day left before the production was over, and the chance to see Lis in Victorian garb and a deeply flattering mermaid costume was too good to miss!
Our little gang of Sarah Jane fanatics pretty much took up an entire row!
Lis was born to play the part of Mrs Darling [Wendy's mother]. As a mermaid, she even made a well-placed reference to 'The Chronicles of Sarah Jane'!
After the show, I and some friends from The Sarah Jane Smith Wardrobe Appreciation Society and Girl Reporter headed 'round to the back of the theatre and waited for Lis in a freezing cold alley!
She made an appearance not long after, signed a few programmes and even took a few pictures with us! Lis was as charming as ever, and after wishing her the best of luck for the last day of production - we all headed off to the nearest pub! We've decided that we want to see Lis in a musical next!

Aw, what a great day! I still can't get over how pretty that dress was on her...
Nabu, why do you always take pictures of me looking really grumpy?? I'm the only one on that row who looks like they're not having a good time, but I swear I was! :P
My camera's out to get you =P
And it WAS a wonderful day. The turnout for the whole gang was just, shockingly huge. Nic should get an award for planning it all so well. Really can't wait till the next one!
It was an awesome day!! apart from ice the dog! wtf was that about!!!
Bless him, he was so awful he was good :P Or not. And then Christopher Parker made the set almost topple over, rofl. It's all part of the panto experience, I s'pose! Though CP's acting was surprisingly sub par for a former Easties cast member. He was trying to play a child, but kinda sorta came across mentally challenged :S He made up for it with his smexy shins, though :P
