I don't know if it was my imigination but Alex seemed to be a bit "rude" to Helen from the start. He spent most of the time with his back turned against Helen and Mrs crab woman and talked instead to that "Kerry" girl is it. Sorry I am terrible with names and I can't be bothered to look them up.
Helen did speak to him eventually and he faced her "if be it briefly". I am probably beeing paranoid......or something...
This apparent snub was before Helen went into full vocal. Seems he didn't really want to speak to her. As I say it might have been my imagination. Anyone else who saw the show I would like to know what you think about that...
