Oh my I hadn't realised this has had over 2K views. Thank you so much. I hope this will keep you going for a bit. I will be honest I'm struggling with bridging the next bit as I have lots of bits that I need to sandwich together. I will have more up as soon as I can.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The second half of the ceremony goes pretty smoothly, a few more musical numbers and awards aplenty. Miss Saigon sweeps up gaining award after award and this only makes me want to go see it more this next week. I make a mental note to look into tickets and wonder if my new acquaintance Darla could get me any cheaper tickets. Seriously these shows in London are really expensive, making me all the more grateful to every audience member for parting with their hard earned cash to see me doing what I love. As the ceremony comes to an end Mel and Steve wish us all a safe trip to the after party and then the audience begin to slowly make their way out. I'm chatting to Savannah as Tom leaves and he gives my right shoulder a squeeze on his way past. I turn and give him a smile as he disappears into the crowd exiting the auditorium. Savannah and I eventually begin to make our way out once the mad crush has died down.

"Pease come for some drinks" Savannah pleads again. I'd told her moments earlier I was just thinking of going home as it had been a very long day.

"I'm so tired" I moan, slightly over dramatically.

"Please. I want to hear all about the wedding. Plus you can do some networking. These bashes are always good for that sort of thing" she's not quite on her knees but I sure she's pretty close so I cave.

"Fine. I'll stay till half eleven. And I suppose I can't play Elphaba forever" I grumble but smile at her so she knows I'm not really mad.

"Yes!" she claps her hands, "Right I want to hear all about it. Who was there? What was her dress like? What did you wear?" she continues her questions in rapid fire as we reach the bar; she's not given me a chance to answer one yet.

I spend the next twenty minutes or so just following Savanah around answering her questions in between speaking to other guests. Savannah seems to know an awful lot of people here tonight and she introduces me to everyone we meet, all of whom congratulate me on my win which is very kind. When Savannah begins to talk to a guy she knows, Adam I think his name is, about a holiday in Ibiza she went on with some friends a few years ago, and after five minutes of understanding little of her conversation and caring even less, I excuse myself to go to the bathroom. In the coolness of the restroom I take a few moments to study my award that I'm still clutching. It still seems bizarre to have won and I let out a disbelieving laugh. "Congratulations" a stunning, leggy brunette says to me as she comes into the toilet. "Thanks" I mumble back before placing the award on the counter next to the sink so I can snap a picture. I then upload it to Instagram with the caption 'I won! Thank you so much'. It's now ten past eleven so only twenty minutes to kill before I can leave without resistance from Savannah. I check my reflection quickly, to make sure I still look presentable as there's a lot of cameras still hanging about, and then head back out into the corridor. As I'm heading back towards the party in the bar I hear my name called and I freeze. I look around for the source and spot Tom, he's stood at the end of the corridor, from where I've just come, with his arm raised and next to him is David Tennant. Oh boy. I turn and head back down the corridor towards them and take a deep breath. As I approach I take in both of them, David is grinning widely at me and Tom, well he looks like he's massively hungover.

"Sam, come meet David" he calls as I begin to approach with caution.

"Pleased to meet you" David says extending his hand.
