AAAAAAGH

Ian McKellan is in town to perform King Lear, 19-21 July. The only tickets left are going for $400. Now, I like McKellan's work naturally, but that's not why I'm screaming. I just found out...

SYLVESTER MCCOY IS PLAYING THE PART OF THE FOOL.

My. Favourite. Doctor. Is. In. Town. And. I. Won't. Get. To. See. Him.

*buries head in hands and cries*

I'm so gutted.

Maybe if I just try to stalk the stage entrance...

Any way you can volunteer at the theater in question?

And William Gaunt is playing Gloucester! Wah!

Stalk the stage door. It'll give him something to talk about, that someone was there for *him* rather than for Sir Ian.

Oh man...I'm sorry.

To borrow a more appropriate Peanutsism:
Aauugghhhhh!!!!
I feel lucky in that I've actually met 3 of the Doctors - Tom Baker, Colin Baker, and Jon Pertwee. I missed the convention (Magnum Opus Con) where Patrick Troughton died in his sleep, and none of the others have been close enough for me to get there (and the original, William Hartnell, passed away before I was even aware of the show).
Haunting the stage door may be your best bet.

Yep. My thought exactly.

Can't you order him arrested on some charge or other and have him brought into court? : -)

Something at least somewhat similar actually happened to James McDaniel, who played Lt Fancy on NYPD Blue. As he told it, he was crossing the street in NYC, jaywalking as everybody does here, when two cops got out of their car and ordered him into the back, to all appearances for Walking While Black. He was steeling himself for a real NYPD Experience™ when one of the cops turned around with a grin and said "OK, Lt, where can we take you?"

Oh dear.

I feel your pain. I was the same way when Coldplay came to town and I couldn't afford to go. Man.
