Waiting for the show to start, I couldn’t resist taking a shot of the fabulous ceiling in the Theatre Royal.  Promptly got told off for taking photos inside the theatre after this… oh well I thought.. will be going back stage later so I’ll hold out with the photo-trigger-finger for now!

And here we all go – back stage awaits…
There was still loads of smoke from the dragon scenes – couldn’t believe that just a few moments ago, the entire cast from Shrek had been standing in this exact same spot..

Loads of exciting props all tucked away backstage.  Like an emporium of cool goodies!

Got an eye to eye view with Dragon herself!

And.. this is puss in boots

Looking up – lots of gantries, cables and struts..
I didn’t realise how much space the stage and rear of the stage took up, it looks more compact from the seats in the theatre.

And here is where the back of the stage … although it keeps on going back.. there are a couple of rows of props to the right and behind that a room full with all the actors and actoresses outfits for the performance!

Walking out through the stage door at the end – special perms for @igerslondon! woo!
“No visitors permitted back stage during the performance”

So… what a great evening out with @igerslondon.
