Lady Katherine's
Moments
In the Windtunnel
My friend Kathy and I were sitting in the Minskoff windtunnel the
day after we saw the show and playing hangman (with Pimpernel quotes,
of course!) to pass the time! It was about an hour before curtain,
when we were going to see the show again, and a familiar face walked
by. I stopped and glanced up to see who it was and it was none other
than Mr. Sills himself, on his way to get dinner (we guessed). We
both looked at our watches and thought, "Where's he going?! It's an
HOUR before curtain! Shouldn't he be practicing the duel, or
something!" But, off he went and a few minutes later came back around
the corner with a bag in his hand and trampled back into the
theatre!
It was very weird to see him in sweats, when we'd only seen him in
cream-colored satin, etc. up until then! And, at the stage door the
night before, he'd been looking nice in a button up shirt and a beige
suede jacket! It threw us for a minute, but then we realized that
this little sighting meant SO much more! It meant HE WAS THERE!!!!
We'd get to see him play Percy ONE MORE TIME, before flying back to
Utah at an ungodly hour the next morning! I could have kissed the
cold cement ground right there in the tunnel! But, you'll be glad to
know that I didn't!
