One of my many regrets is that I didn't see the show earlier. I had heard mixed reviews about the production but as always I decide to make up my own mind and not listen to the opinion of others. So one Friday night in January I went along to the Shaftsbury Theatre in anticipation of what I was going to see. We settled in to our seats in row B of the stalls, excellent seats if you don't have a 6ft 5inch larger than life guy in front of you, as I did! So a few minutes after settling in the show started..................
To start with when the dancer first came on stage and started dancing I was thinking what on earth am I watching? Then up goes the curtain and I feel that things are more as I imagined. I instantly fell in love as the music started playing and Victoria aka Alex walks forward to that iconic flashdance tune and takes off her helmet from there on I was hooked.
I really liked Victoria's wit and charisma from the moment that she said her first line, belted her first song and started dancing. My first thought was, there's something about her, something I couldn't quite pinpoint but knew was there, an energy, a spark...a presence on stage that I had never witnessed before....she made me feel as though I were the only person in the theatre.
After the show my friends and I wandered round to the stage door to try and meet Victoria, we were in luck. There were a few other people around so we had to wait a little but that was fine. I was really nervous to meet Victoria for the first time but loved meeting her and she was so lovely and sweet, I told her how much I enjoyed the show as it was my first time seeing it and how fantastic I thought she was. She was very humble and seemed to take it all in. I assured her I would be going back to watch and I did.
Unfortunately I didn't have much time to fit in many more shows but each time I went back I enjoyed the show more and more. Meeting Victoria again after was also lovely and it was nice to have a lovely chat with her, she really does have a lot of time for her fans and that is one of the things I love about her.
The one regret that I have is that I didn't discover Victoria at the beginning of her career, now that I have discovered her though I will be giving her lots of support in whatever she does next.
Vix you are the loveliest, sweetness and funniest person I have ever met and you have such an amazing personality. I am honoured that I got to see you perform in flashdance and am looking forward to the future and supporting you in what you do next.
My Love and Support Always
XxX
