One thing I really appreciate about Iván's performance as Hidgens is how camp he is. He knew he was playing a fan favourite and was gonna get backlash if he didn't nail it and he just fucking went for it and camped it the fuck up and blew it out of the park

Ok I've now seen it five times so here are some of my favourite Paul centric details from the West End run of The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals that aren't in the proshot. Not all of them are things that he does consistently, some I've only seen once or twice:

•When he goes to Beanies for the first time in the show, he would check his breath and fiddle with his cuffs while Emma argued with Nora

•After the Godspell jokes both he and Emma would realise how close they had gotten to one another and turn quickly away

•Mouthing Emma's name to himself in the mirror while he gets ready before Lah Dee Dah Dah Day

•Scrabbling for the phone during What Do You Want, Paul? when Mr Davidson wheels him around the desk (at one show he accidentally threw it half off the desk instead)

•Arguing with Pete and Eugene during Cup of Roasted Coffee while he tries to get Emma's attention. (Especially enjoyed him mouthing "It's me, Paul" as if she'd forgotten in the thirty whole seconds since they spoke last)

•Dyslexic Paul Matthews!!! Their whole back and forth of when they're going through the alleyways after escaping from Beanies. Shout out to the one show where Emma also said she wouldn't take advice from a man in a suit

•Shielding Emma and Bill with his arms outstretched during Show Me Your Hands

•When Emma grabs his knee during their heart-to-heart at Hidgens's house, he would unconsciously run his hand over the same spot afterwards

•Paul squaring up to Sam during Join Us And Die and immediately getting punched in the face

•The very whiny and pathetic 'what the fuck' he lets out while lying on the floor after Not Your Seed. (In the proshot you can see him mouthing the words but it's muted and I'm upset about it)

•Tilting Emma's face towards him when they're being circled by the military in America is Great Again

•Finger guns after the not-kiss

[halfwit-halfblood]

A couple more to add from closing night!!!!

•During the Peanuts news story at the line "Papa Ed's been squirrelling away on his GoFundMe" he repeated the word squirrelling and laughed to himself

•When the homeless man falls into his arms during Lah Dee Dah Dah Day he tries to call to the others for help

•Saying his dyslexia is specifically typography/map based

(This wasn't an intentional choice but during the alley scene he also tripped on the steps and Emma asked if he was okay)

•Shielding Bill's body after Not Your Seed from zombie Alice and co with his hands hovering over Bill's chest

Still on the ending of TGWDLM reprise. It is so amazing the way that Infected Paul controls the stage. In the original he's apart of the group, they're all working together to torment Emma. In the reprise, he is leading the torment. He directs the others, he pushes Emma along, he commands the stage. Like he's literally a vessel for Pokey, giving the Lord in Black a chance to step into the show. He manhandles Emma so much and it's such a good new aspect. The taunting and like anger he has towards her. The part where they sing "Emma I want you to join the party," they all do this thumb pointing thing. But Paul points backwards which is where Emma runs to, only to get stopped by Charlotte and Melissa. Like he's directing Emma and showing her there's no escape. He physically moves her arms! And oh my god the anger he directs at her is just beautiful, blaming her for not wanting to be apart of the hive mind. Shoving her across stage and then stalking after her. It's beautiful. I love this damn show
