While I understand people getting excited about the idea of there being a place to go and a time to be there when you can pretty much guarantee seeing Chris I am still a bit disappointed really. I had hoped that as the weeks went by the crowds would lessen. I was wrong. They got worse. I hope this doesn't put Chris off doing another play. I know he is philosophical about this part of being famous but even when he makes films he doesn't have to go through crowds of fans every single day sometimes twice a day. It's better than most jobs but still coming off stage he's exhausted and hungry. I guess Chris is used to it but for me the knowledge that all of it is being filmed and put on social media daily would make me worry about doing or saying something wrong or accidentally missing someone. Or am I over anxious?

It has become akin to a movie premiere every night - at least the crowd and signing part. The crowds have gotten bigger and bigger but they seem to vary in whether or not they are out of control. As the guard said, the better behaved the longer he stays. Last night he seemed to stay quite long since the fan (who came all the way from the UK!) who posted a video said he was all smiles and got to everyone including her and she was way down on the other end.

Quite. It could easily become a security matter if someone gets over enthusiastic. Just takes one person to fall over and it's dominoes.

Brian not only talking trash about Legends of The Fall but signing as the performer of Dawn.

Have you ever seen Legends of The Fall? It's bloody awful. Don't tell Chris I said so! The only thing about it that makes me want to cry is the fact I actually bought a copy on his recommendation!

www.backstage.com/interview/bel-powley-why-lobby-hero-was-breath-fresh-air/Bel Powley on Why ‘Lobby Hero’ Was a Breath of Fresh Air
VIDEO LINK https://www.facebook.com/backstage/videos/1623418514374681/British actor Bel Powley blasted her way onto the scene in 2015 with her starring turn in “The Diary of a Teenage Girl” and has been popping up in indie films ever since. (This year alone sees the 26-year-old starring in three films with “Mary Shelley,” “Wildling,” and “White Boy Rick.”) But before hitting the big screen, she cut her teeth in U.K. theater, and this spring saw her return to Broadway with Kenneth Lonnergan’s four-time Tony-nominated “Lobby Hero.” Directed by Tripp Culman, the play stars Powley as Dawn, a rookie cop working alongside her partner Bill (Chris Evans). With the show closing on May 13, Powley stopped by Backstage HQ to chat with us about what it’s like to work with Evans and Tony nominees Michael Cera and Brian Tyree Henry to bring this acclaimed revival to life. Powley enjoys the closeness that comes from working with a small cast.“It’s so nice to be able to play with just three other cast members. There’s [less] pressure. When you’re doing a play with a huge cast, you get nervous that you’re not connected with one person but you’re connected with another person. Whereas with this, there’s just four of us. They’re such great guys.” Dawn was a breath of fresh air—as was ‘Lobby Hero’ as a whole.“There still aren’t that many amazing roles for women my age. Anything that’s a woman in her 20s that’s a leading role, I’m like, ‘That could be great!’ I think that even though this show was written in 1999, it’s so unbelievably timely to have it on now. The gender politics and race politics that’s in the show are so poignant for this time.” Auditioning is a job in and of itself.“Firstly, never be underprepared. There’s literally no point in going to an audition if you don’t know your lines and you don’t know what the show is about. You’re immediately not going to get it. I always try to have a list of things to say about the project. Have stuff in your back pocket. Soundbites, basically. Stuff to leave an impression on them with. Just don’t freak out too much.” For Powley, time to rehearse is key.“I think the rehearsal process of theater is so organic. Just the structure of the way you do it. You sit down for a month, and then you put it on the stage. Whereas when you’re making a movie, it’s such a mishmash and a jumble that you sort of lose that process along the way. Because I learned through doing theater, I can’t do a movie if I don’t rehearse. I find it too strange. I couldn’t turn up on set and just do it because I’m very used to that rehearsal process.” You have to move on from the good auditions, too.“Even if you leave an audition and you’re like, ‘That went so well,’ you need to bin it. Put it in the garbage, it’s gone. Goodbye. Just forget about it. Because you never know what’s going to happen. There’s no point in beating yourself up about it if you think it was not good. Onto the next.”

For me it's neither great nor awful. It's a bit soapy and unweidly yet still manages to be emotional. In terms of sprawling epics though Zwick isn't exactly David Lean.
