Matthew Pomeroy was reportedly playing the role of Aladdin for four years along with his girlfriend Natasha Lamb who played Princess Jasmine. However, at the recent show of the play in De Montfort Hall in Leicester, England, the actor decided to make some improvisations to the play. At the end of the play, Pomeroy broke the script and proposed to Lamb right on stage. The act ended in happiness as Lamb said yes to the proposal and agreed to marry her long-time boyfriend.
The decision to propose was not a hasty one but rather one that required meticulous planning. In fact, Pomeroy also ensured that both their parents were present in the audience for this particular performance. The impromptu stunt has struck chords with people who blessed the couple. Here are a few comments:
Congratulations Matthew and Natasha! We'd love to get you on @bbc5live tonight to talk to you about it? reply to this message or call me on 0161 335 6504
