Jodie Comer received a special surprise from “the other Jodie” | The Graham Norton Show – BBC

How different is it having a hit on Broadway compared to the West End? Or is it the same? No, I think I think in New York, people sort of embrace success more. They’re kind of more you know, they sort of they sort of it’s… I don’t know.

I think in London, people are a bit more… “Oh you’re having a success”. Where as In New York they’re like… “You’re having a success!!” -There’s the applause at the start on Broadway, they clap before you start the play. – Oh is that the best? Well no… Nothing.

We were always trying to get in just before it. Oh, you’ve got to try and get in… – Yeah rush on before the… -Yeah. Yeah. I think it’s just a different attitude about… and also people I think people are more willing to sort of go with you on that journey.

– And also talking to people always seems like when you were hit on Broadway the stars come out. Like all these famous people come to see the shows. It’s relentless. Do you like knowing before you go on? I like to know. Do you?! Yeah! I love it. Before you go on?

Yeah I do. I love it. Who did you get Jodie? One that like, that was amazing Jodie Foster came and she’d… I remember I came off stage and she’d ripped out a page from the the playbill and she’d wrote a little note, beautiful little note on the bottom

And she signed it “From the other Jodie”. I was like, “No, I’m the other Jodie”. I was like, No, I’m the other Jodie.

Jodie Comer tells the story of the time when she was appearing on Broadway, Jodie Foster came to see her play and left her a note which she signed from “the other Jodie”.
