So this thing starts at 7. I'm planning on going for a meal at the Montague Pike Wetherspoons across the road beforehand (Tuesday steak night). if anyone would like to join me, you're more than welcome. I plan on arriving there between 5:30-6pm. It's under at tenner. If not, that's okay too. I will meet those attending at the venue.
If you would like to join me, just PM me on the night so I can look out for you and give you directions as to where I'm sitting.

Id love to go but I know naff all about plays and although all my friends think I am the fountain of all knowledge relating to musicals, I am probably useless compared to many people on here. Unless its Sondheim of course............

Unless its Sondheim of course............ The good thing about being a team is that different people have different strengths so i wouldn't worry at all that you don't know much about plays and anyway, it's just a bit of fun. The TheatreBoard Team is looking a bit thin on the ground ahead of tomorrows event so if you would like to go, then we'd definitely love to have you on team TheatreBoard! Go for it! And if you do, then let us know.

(At this stage) it looks like there's a very good chance that I'll be arriving with West End Cub, so count us in as part of the team.
Last theatre quiz that went to at the Theatre Cafe (anyone remember that?) asked the following question.
What is the names of the three hyenas in The Lion King? I know only one.

Great question but I can reveal that is not one of the ones tonight! I'll give you all a little clue though and there might be a picture round on theatre albums covers!!! See you all soon!

I've decided today I'm coming down with my girlfriend - how many people do we have from here for the team now?
We may have enough to form two smaller teams and have our own friendly rivalry going on..

Good luck everyone, or should that be break a leg. Disappointed I can't make it. Album covers sound fun. Anyway hopefully it'll be a success so I can come if there's another one.

We may have enough to form two smaller teams and have our own friendly rivalry going on.. I think there are 3 people. You are your girlfriend i think could still join the TheatreBoard Team and it be within the limits. AnnieK, Anthony40 and WestEndClub are the members going if you wanted to organise with them meeting up or identifying each other. Have fun everyone, that is the main point of course but also if you can, please spread our good name around and tell people about TheatreBoard. We did have stickers made for you all to wear but they somehow got lost in the post

And we won by quite a margin too - 69/76, the second place team had 63 and the joint 3rds (all four of them) on 62. Very enjoyable evening had by all! I'm sure the winner photos will emerge sooner or later

Woohoo! Who's the best team?! Thanks guys I had a blast! Lovely to meet some theatreboard members/people who are maybe even more stagey than me So yeah, as it's been mentioned. A. we won. B. We won with quite a big difference. C. It was amazing, haha! Funny how from the 60 musicaltheatre related questions we only missed 2, and general knowledge we missed like 5 or so.. (we were a bit confused about the scoring, but I tried to keep track of our answers) edit; im trying to upload some photo's but it keeps failing... Who helps haha!

d'james I don't want to spam too much in this thread haha, but examples of Q's: Love Changes Everything' is a song taken from which musical? Which musical is based on a film from 2000 with the same name, set in County Durham, England? Which musical claims to be the untold story of the Witches of Oz? (Like REALLY?! haha) In which musical would you hear the words sung, 'everything's coming up roses'? In which musical would you hear the words sung, 'Sawyer you're going out a youngster, but you've got to come back a star'? There was also a round with short movies being displayed by actors who then asked a Q about a production they play(ed) in. e.g Evelyn Hoskins: Last season I played in Carrie the musical, but who wrote the book? The music round wasn’t the usual listen to a snippet and write down artist and title, but it was Wilma quoting lyrics and asking questions about songs, and we had to write down the musical + song title. e.g ‘Ready for a quick one, or a thick one in the park’ (Said in another tone and rhytm than the Lovely ladies (there’s your answer) tune.) General knowledge: How many pints go into a firkin? How old is Caitlyn Jenner? (Answer was 1 instead of 66, but there was some discrepancy about that haha!)

Well done all. Maybe we could look at organising one of these ourselves in the future for the forum members.
I hope you guys managed to mention the board to folks, well you gave us a good name anyway by winning!

I'd love that! Used to do a lot of pubquizzes, unfortunately lately haven't done any. Always up for helping with the organisation if there's going to be a TheatreBoard-quiz
