Don't do this thread often, so covering the next fortnight: Thursday Mat: Grinning Man (LDN) Thursday Eve: TBC (LDN) Sun: A Little Night Music (Chester) Thursday Mat: Hamilton (LDN) Thurs Eve: TBC (LDN)
TBCs will probably include Grinning Man again, Phantom, Dreamgirls, or something else last minute.

Tonight I shall be at The Nash for 'Absolute Hell'. Strangely this won't be the first time I've spent a Monday evening in a grotty drinking club in Soho with a National Theatre cast but I can say no more. Gagging orders and all that.

Today is Porno day! I know that’s every day for some of you...see above. But this is the tour of the “My Dad wrote a Porno” podcast. And I’m very excited.
For those who know it our group has decided we’re all Helga in spirit.

Tomorrow's matinee of Chess. Held off booking until a few weeks ago as I wasn't sure about the cast, but seeing the photos and positive comments am really looking forward to it.

Fat Friends playing at my work this week so I'll see it about 4/5 times.
All the cast are great other than Elaine C Smith who plays Sam Bailey's role while it's at the Scottish venues

Are you going to matinee or evening of Spongebob? Granddaughter and I will be at matinee. Small world 6.30pm. That's a shame. I hope you both enjoy it - please do share your thoughts afterwards! What fun it would have been to say a "hello" to a fellow member. My granddaughter is 14 and said that some of her friends who saw it said it was "surprisingly fun". That is high praise from 14 year old girls . That seems to be most people's reaction to it. We have a 3.75 hour bus rides afterwards so plenty of time to post our reactions. I really hope the principles do play.

Going to London again tomorrow for 2 happy weeks and hoping to see "Jamie" again. Possibly also "Kinky Boots" because I haven't seen it yet (I know, I know...). Then, next weekend, a wonderful two-show Saturday - "Macbeth" and "Absolute Hell" at the NT (God help me...), and Read Not Dead at the Globe on Sunday - to my surprise, it's sold out, so I only got a standing ticket and I very much hope it won't be 4 hours long. Also considering "Lessons in Love and Violence" at the ROH.

Yesterday afternoon, I did a backstage tour at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh and a lovely man on the tour went and bought me a ticket to War Horse! It was a great seat for an amazing show, (Row N in the stalls) and I felt so shocked that someone would just buy some random teenager an expensive ticket to a show.
I was pretty shocked to say the least, but I was so grateful. War Horse was excellent and I loved the use of a cloud for the back projections.
