I am writing a dissertation about the casting of 'celebrities' in theatre productions and whether this has an effect on audience attendance. Would you be interested in completing my online survey about it? It only takes 2 minutes (or less)!
This link will take you to the survey goo.gl/forms/I6Gbtdu1lG1jzXLX2
Thanks so much - your opinions would really help!

Done! Very quick indeed, though it did take me a while to remember the name of the play I went to see because of the celebrity.  |

I've been to see dozens of shows because they've got a 'celebrity' in them. In most cases the celeb has been a well-known and well-respected actor. No way would I have seen a play about Glyndebourne without the presence of Roger Allam or one about the indie horror film industry without Matt Smith or yet another Hamlet without Benedict Cumberbatch. Is this what you mean?

Done! Very quick indeed, though it did take me a while to remember the name of the play I went to see because of the celebrity. That reminds me of Chris Thorpe and Hannah Jane Walker's show The Oh F""" Moment, in which all audience members are asked to write down their own personal Oh F""" Moment and then several of us are randomly selected to be told they'll shortly be asked to read theirs out loud. The person next to me was selected and became very agitated and said they hadn't written anything down because they couldn't think of one, so what should they do now they would have to read it out? Panic! Panic! So Chris Thorpe calmly replied (with a perfectly straight face) that what they could do when asked to read their Oh F""" Moment out loud would be to reply: "I couldn't think of one so I haven't written one down." That was indeed exactly what happened. |

Done - I'm sure you'll get some interesting answers as I bet everyone has a different definition of a 'celebrity'

Is this what you mean? Hi Yes! This is exactly the kind of thing I am interested in. Would you ahve gone to see those productions if it hasn't been for the 'celebrity'? I guess it is your own definition of celebrity - a well know actor, film star or just a household name. How many people would have gone to see Hamlet without Benedict? I doubt it would have been a sell-out. Thanks for your input. |
