Just the one so far, in Dublin, but it feels like it went very well!

I'd be very interested to know a little about if/how the show has changed over the course of the US tour and now Europe. Obviously the ongoing plot in the show has had some influence, but are there big differences between the show right now and the first performance way back when?

if you start with drums, you have to end with dynamite.
We've performed this script somewhere around 55 times over the course of 10 months. It's changed quite a bit both in us rewriting stuff that didn't work as well as we hoped, and in actors discovering new ways of reading lines. Also, we've had a variety of casts performing the script, so it is by design very modular, able to be performed with just Cecil and Meg, or with every guest star we have at once. Even if you've seen this script, there are entire scenes you haven't seen because the actor who does that scene wasn't there that night.

For the Europe tour, we've also rewritten the script to incorporate the changes in the storyline since the script was written in January, and also to accommodate the fact that Dylan can't be on the tour. Which is to say it's a different (and better) script now than our very first version of it in Seattle, but in most ways it's basically the same.

This episode has added to my concern that Cecil might end up seeking solace in Earl if Carlos doesn't return soon. :ohdear:

I finally got to listen to the TAH crossover recently, and now I'm looking forward to catching up with that show too. I especially appreciated more Steve Carlsberg.

I'm guessing that character isn't in the Librarian live show, though?
I don't have a source on this but I read that someone asked the creators if there was anything more than friendship between Earl and Cecil and they said no, so don't worry.

What shall we do with him? A permaban, perhaps? Probate him for a few years? Or...shall we employ a big red custom title? You, the goons of SA, shall decide his fate.

There's some versions of the Librarian he was in and some he wasn't. I'm pretty sure he will be in the one we do in January since it is supposed to have EVERYONE

Will Dylan be in it, or will the script be based on the Dylan-less European tour versions?

I thought Joseph said every guest was going to be in so that means Dylan, Hal, and Symphony (probably have her name wrong) will be voicing Carlos, Steve, and Tamika.

If anyone fancies meeting up for a pint before tonight's performance I'm planning to be in the Hope and Anchor down the road from the venue from about 6.

I'm in the queue for tonight's show, and the girl next to me has spent the entire time quoting lines to her friends. The amount of cosplay is frightening and it's pretty much 75% teenage girls. I feel incredibly out of place. :(

The show I was at had reserved seats, so I showed up a few minutes before curtain, didn't interact with any of the tumblr weirdos, and then got the hell out of there.

Wow yeah, loads of cosplay going on in here. Got here just after 7 and the queue was huge. Someone had put a sign up next to a 'dog free zone' sign saying 'forbidden dog park' which made me chuckle. I'm downstairs and have already seen an Erika. But who is that glowing maid meant to be?

A glow cloud I presume, if it's the same girl I saw.

Last night was fantastic, Cecil is amazing at holding peoples complete and utter attention, and the venue couldn't be more perfect.

In contrast to most people here, less cosplay than I expected.

Copenhagen was great. Cecil is so incredibly good at being on point and keeping everyone in the audience captive.

Someone was cosplaying Kevin and had some completely black lenses on that covered the entirety of their eyeballs, and I drat near tripped and fell down the stairs when I saw them.
