Breakfast at Tiffany's

[tonyaf216]

Anna will alway look beautiful in everything she wears & that smile could light up room who need lights to light up the room when you have Anna ;D ;D

[amanda]

I hope Anna is enjoying a well deserved relaxing rest with her family at the moment .

Thank you for the link DaveC, Anna was as usual, gorgeous! Perfect outfit for the final night out the back doors, and I'm glad we we're all there to congratulate her.

[tonyaf216]

I for one wouldn't of missed it for the world.

It was made special by meeting up with Dave, DaveC, Amanda , Jen, & the rest of the gang I hope we all get a chance to meet up again for another Anna show and maybe have more time with Anna next time ;D ;D

[amanda]

Tony - Same here my friend! I would've traveled 100000 more miles to do it again, I will miss you all very much .




I won't be making a video blog this time, just typing up a very brief written report (photos to follow soon) - this report has also been posted on 'Thewlis Rox';

First and foremost, congratulations and well-done to the entire cast of Breakfast at Tiffany's for a fantastic run and final performance. Our group gave them a well-deserved standing ovation and we wish them all the very best in the future. Hoping at the moment, Anna is having a relaxing rest at home with her family before her next projects begin production.

We all had a wonderful time together, and it was brilliant to re-unite with all the members of Anna's Official Website (Dave, DaveC, and Tony) and enjoy a great evening. For the first time, the entire Site staff (myself, Dave, Moonshape, and Tannim) and fellow members of 'Thewlis Rox' were altogether for an event - something I never thought was possible to happen someday (since we all reside in different parts of the World). I do truly hope that someday in the future, we can all have this opportunity again for both Site families to be together.

We took plenty of photos during our meet-up and throughout the entire trip, we're especially looking forward to sharing our group photograph with Anna after her final performance when she emerged from the back doors! Images will be posted (with captions) once we've all returned home.

Unfortunately, David was not present on the final night. But we wanted to thank him for the time he spent with us the day we arrived on January sixth.

Anyways - tonight is our final night together for members of 'Thewlis Rox' before we all head our separate ways home tomorrow (weather permitting - haha). We're gathering for a nice dinner tonight and exchanging photos on the laptop so we can share them all with you. Safe travels to all, and here's to hoping we all get-together again very soon.

For myself, personally, this was the experience of a lifetime, and I will never forget any of it. I wanted to thank all of you for being a part of this family, our Website, and a part of my life as well. Thank you to all the gentlemen over on Anna's website, I love you all and I'm glad to have seen everyone again - I will miss them all so much!

Of course, a special thank you to Anna, we we're all more then honored to make this trip out from all over the World to support her incredible career - sending all our love and well-wishes. We are all very grateful for the time spent with us this week, memories we'll all remember for life.

Thanks for your post Amanda - it was a great evening to be there with so many of us at the final show and was a great feeling to be there for us all to lead on the standing ovation as the curtain came down on the final performance. I mentioned this to Desi and he is sure that Anna would have been overwhelmed at seeing this.

I've sent you a PM regarding the group photo with Anna - hope you can sort it asap !!

News soon on Anna's next projects... after her well-deserved break !

[tonyaf216]

Anna was crying a bit at the end it might of been she saw some of us standing then again it might of been cos it was the final show without asking Desi to ask Anna we will never know but WOW what a final night a standing ovation for Anna is what she & the rest of the cast deserved..

Thanks to Amanda for her lovely eulogy for Saturday

It was great to meet up again, all together in a common cause to support Anna on the last night of her triumphant play. I love it when I meet people with whom I would have no normal reason to hang out and find such warmth and friendship and - dare I say it - love

Well, the fat lady may not have sung, but the gorgeous, slim lady has made her last reprise of 'People will say we're in love'. The alerts are quiet, and after all those daily pics I'm already beginning to miss the Anna Friel stage door fashion parade every night.

So what's next? Maybe a lull, but after hearing of the girls' day out to Cardiff I fancy a Christmas panto for Anna in 2010, hopefully 18 cert, of course.

I can already see Gracie tugging on her Mum's skirt asking her if Daddy's going to be one of the ugly sisters.

Anyway, safe trip home to all. Amanda and Tannim, you both complement each other in a way that proves that fate can sometimes deal the perfect hand.

See you all at the panto. 'Oh no she didn't!.........OH YES SHE DID!!!!!!!!!!

Love, peace and tender filet mignon to you all.

[amanda]

Dave - Of course, just speaking from my heart. I'm glad we we're all there to support Anna, she's done so much for us, it was the least we could do! I hope someday she'll take the stage again, as she is marvelous up there.

Tony - I could tell at the end there, the tears were real I'm sure the whole cast had gotten quite close, it must've been emotional for all to say 'goodbye'. I got emotional saying 'bye' to the cast at the back doors, I could only imagine how Anna felt to part from all of them.

DaveC - Tender fillet mignon to you as well ! And be nice to David, I think he's quite handsome (and Anna does as well, obviously). Thank you again for the drink hun, and I am anticipating the next time we all meet (and your future comments of course!). I couldn't agree more about the quiet news alerts, they had become a morning treat to see Anna and her gorgeous outfits night after night.

Meanwhile, in California, my Mini Cooper is parked under a palm tree in the sunshine.




Meeting fellow Friel and Thewlis fans at the back doors of the Haymarket Theater (who were coincidentally wearing red coats as well!).




They recognized me from the websites, flattering, but embarrassing as well!




The group with Anna between shows! Anna's facial expression is priceless (and Joseph Cross is making the exact same face in the background LOL).

DaveC - And be nice to David, I think he's quite handsome (and Anna does as well, obviously).

If you say so, Amanda

From what I know of him, he's pretty sound and a loving husband and father And I'm pretty sure he can take a little joke from the likes of me

[tonyaf216]

Great photo's they are all FAB

[amanda]

DaveC - I'm protective of both of them hehe!

Tony - Glad you love the photos! Thank you for all of the great comments on the Facebook account.



I emailed everyone a file of these photos and attached a couple of high-resolution ones to the email. If there are any others you would like to have in the original quality (high-resolution) PM or reply to the email and I'll be sure to send them out asap.

Also, since the play has wrapped up, I've removed the video blogs I posted on YouTube in September of 2009 that I made to persuade and convince fellow fans and theatre-goers to drive out and enjoy the production. The positive emails and response to the videos helped sell a few tickets, so I'm glad to have helped out the Haymarket in any way possible . If anyone wants to keep any of those video blogs I made, I can email those as well.

[amanda]

Found an article with information on the dress Anna wore on the final night out the back doors.

[tonyaf216]

Amanda I have you blogs on my iPod as they are one way of putting a smile on my face when In down and it reminds me of of your last day back on 30th Sept the day we will never forget when we saw Anna & Joseph

As fore the comments on facebook anytime Amanda
