It's taken me months, but I've finally realised - 'Born to Lead' sounds just like 'When You're a Pirate!' from Muppets Treasure Island. 'We were made to give the orders...for some were made to followwww' sounds just like, 'when you're a professional piratttteeeeeeee' As a big fan of both, this is a delightful realisation. There are more similarities beyond just how they sound too; both songs about careers with lines about fortunes - 'We're gentlemen of fortune and that's what we're proud to be' / 'For fortune favours bravery and a fortune's what I've got', with a similar sense of humour, e.g. in the delivery of the lines 'When you're a professional pirate... you don't have to wear a suit' / 'For some were born to follow... but I was born to find trout.' The cherry on the cake for me was Googling the Mincemeat song to check the lyrics and discovering the top result incorrectly has the opening line as 'So you dreamt of being a pirate,' instead of pilot! Editing to also add the similarity between, 'I could have been a lawyer but I just had too much heart' / 'You dreamt of being a pilot but never got to fly.'

Posters now up on the show's website for £10 - they're signed by the full company including alternates too, nice little touch! Appears they're back in stock again if anyone missed out last time.

Show stopped towards the end of the first half. No explanation given yet but it's going on 15 minutes now. Not looking positive.

Got a couple of questions about the lottery, if anyone's able to answer it would be greatly appreciated!
Firstly, from what I can see you'll get an email on the Monday afternoon with a ticket purchasing link. If we call that Monday the start of Week 1, does that link cover ticket purchasing for Week 1 and Week 2, or would it be for Week 2 and Week 3? The website T&Cs state "over the following two performance weeks" so I'm not sure which weeks are being referred to there.
Secondly, since the lottery is every other week, does anyone know which upcoming dates will have draws?
In short, I'm so rarely in London that I don't want to "waste" a lottery win when I'm not going to be there, so trying to work out which lottery I DO need to enter/pay attention to for future trips!

It would cover weeks 1 and 2, and the next draw should be Monday 29th April (the last one was the 15th). The emails go out at 2pm and I would recommend watching your email at that time - if you win, the better seats usually get taken quickly.

Now I can work out when to enter for my next trip!
