And then they cast me to join the show when it then came to the West End here in London.
And that was in 2011.
And I remember Aliash was not part of the cast yet.
They were auditioning some new people for another cast that they had like another cast that was going to be doing a similar show somewhere else.
And so he had to come to London to audition.
And I met him then in London.
And I had just broken up with a boyfriend that I had at the time.
And I was, like, zero interested in dating or meeting any man.
And I was just like, nope.
And I think because I was so blocking him, it made him want the challenge more.
Of course it did.
I remember there was once, right towards the beginning, he kept asking me for a drink.
And I just turned to him and I said, you know, we're just friends.
Can you just stop this?
Like, I'm just your mate.
Like, let it go.
And he turned to me really angrily and he was like, watch, one day I'm going to marry you.
