Some of tempi seemed very relaxed compared to versions I know from the past. The only one that felt the same was Side by Side by Side. Read more: theatreboard.co.uk/thread/1950/company?page=40#ixzz5RsRddwQONone of the tempi will be fixed yet. Sitzprobe is the first chance for cast and orchestra to play together, so no surprise if things are a bit tentative. It will find it's own energy once they are in the theatre.

Having participated in a lot of sitzprobes over the years, I know what they are like. I also know that tempi can change. But, on the whole, conductors I have worked with have been reasonably consistent from the rehearsal room through the sitz and onto stage. I was mentioning the tempi not to be critical - just to note that they felt quite different to other versions.

Why is Company not starting an eight-show week until week beginning 22nd October? Why are there several weeks having only six or seven shows? Does it not officially open until that week?

If you zoom in on Uncle Stevs chin, what is that mark ? I’m guessing it’s not chocolate or jam

It is very difficult to screw up a production of Company. The show simply works, sometimes better than others, but it works in general.

It feels like we've been waiting forever. But what is probably the 'event' of 2018 is about to happen, and I couldn't be more excited

Well it's a good job it's cooled down outside as with two of the TB hotties ( couldileaveyou and ali973) going tonight they'd have had to put the air conditioning on high. Make sure you both switch your phones off though. We want you both to survive the night to report back. Who do YOU think you ARE? Get OUT!

Let’s hope nobody’s phone goes off mid show. It could be interesting. Body bags are on standby for those unfortunate souls.

Looks like I might not make it. Stuck on a train heading into London with no sign of us moving anywhere. Train was meant to arrive about 20 minutes ago. Absolutely gutted.

Stage looks beautiful based on Instagram, no difference to what we've already seen, but still great to see!
Also, exciting to see two staircases matching the design of the stage on either side, going into the auditorium. I wonder if there will be some going in and out through the audience?

They’re probably there so Patti can easily make her way down into the audience to personally smash any phones lighting up the auditorium during the performance.

Just in the nick of time!
