Manchester Opera House, June 2007
Still getting to grips with a new cast but willing to finally branch out and get to know these new interpretations of the characters we found ourselves in yet another final-night-at-a-theatre whirlwind in Manchester, but we were still lucky enough to catch up with our favourite Jellicles and I also got the chance to meet one of the new cast members whose performance as Alonzo had particularly won me over - the lovely and talented Ryan Dixon, who already knew all about me having briefly spent some time sharing a dressing room with my Carbucketty Kevin McGuire before he left the tour.
