Tuesday, March 31 is the night that Kevin Webster, aka Michael Le Vell comes to Halifax! Yay! The Downeast Steeters present An Evening With Michael Le Vell and tickets are pretty much all sold out now. I've been to every one of these events held in Halifax. I've volunteered to help out on the night for the first few years and I've worked as part of the organizing committee for the past two events. I got involved because i'm a fan of the show and seeing one of the actors, hearing them speak about the show, the actors, the storylines, it gives you a different perspective on Coronation Street.The actor always has interesting anecdotes to impart. The actors are always really pleased at the overwhelmingly warm reception they get from the fans in Halifax and are surprised the response is so great. They've always seemed to really enjoy the interaction and the event and meeting the fans.
The event is basically a question and answer evening. The fans submit questions and the actor discusses the questions and tells related stories. Later, they sign autographs and pose for photos with 100 fans who have purchased tickets for the purpose. Can't unfortunately do it for everyone in the audience. It would take all night to sign for 700 people!!!
Every year i always take notes and do a write up. I post it on my website, and also post highlights on Corrieblog. I will put highlights here as well, of course, with links to the full article and photos.
