The article was confusing, to be fair!

Starring Carolyn Maitland, Ben Richards, Miranda Wilford and Oliver Tompsett. Here's a link. But only click if you want to see what could quite possibly be the worst photo I've seen of Oliver Tompsett in my life. Oliver Tompsett. Get thee to a barber.Now, you see, I read it like that the first time too. But on second reading, Some Lovers features Ben Richards, Arran Kavanagh, Gemma Wardle and Jenna Innes. Oliver Tompsett is in a concert performance of Charles Miller music. Agreed on the ancient photo though!

What about the train emails? "Did you enjoy your trip to London Victoria?" Well, you know, we got there, that was something..

Or the assumption (usually by Amazon) that I will want the additional items chosen by the previous person who bought the DVD I have selected. Just because they want a toy for their baby niece and a lifetime supply of goldfish food, there's no reason to assume I do too, because we both bought Gypsy..

Anyone else greeted by Anusol ads every time they log in? Or am I being singled out?!

I got really excited when it said I could book, until it said I had to be a member!! Yes, they let you put tickets in a basket, then say Oh, we'll be adding membership if you continue. Presumably hoping you won't want to let the tickets go..

At the start, Daniel Evans came out to say that the actor who was playing Lazar had been taken seriously ill and a stand had had less than 24 hours rehearsal (Gareth Snook), I see that Gareth Snook is officially on the cast list. Am I right in thinking Chris Jarman was due to be in this role?

Just watching the Konta match. It's clearly rather warm down south (!) and there are loads of people fanning themselves It reminded me of the discussion in (I think) the bad behaviour thread- surprised the players don't complain.

Baz got it wrong Ms Tointon is playing Olivia I was very puzzled by that initial (apparent) casting, and the correction made more sense! Still not sure I need another Twelfth Night, however..

Note the national have decreased their allowed bag size and mine is now too big to make it past the cloakroom. And no I'm not complaining, just quite glad I know in advance so can plan if I'm doing a must run for train don't have time to check bag out again thing. I'm glad you mentioned this as it prompted me to measure the fairly standard shoulder bags which both I and my friend usually carry, and both come up slightly too big in one dimension. I'd just assumed they'd be OK, so I'm pleased I was prompted to check.

Also how's Southwark Playhouse coping with 30c+? It was OK on Friday. There's a cellist in the band and there was no sign of a repeat of the issues the Titanic strings had.

Just had a quick Google. Wasn't Rebecca Lacey's character the ditzy secretary in the office,whereas Eve M was the client who fell for the solicitor? Lovely series.

It's what happens after the panto career wise. Natasha Barnes is reprising her role in Funny Girl on tour - what will happen to her career after that? The same thing with Charlie - what will happen in 2018? Parts like Kipps in HAS don't come around that often. Is it going to tour? Will he tour with it? A friend suggested him as Bert, if Mary Poppins comes back to town. Maybe a little young, but I can see where they're coming from.

I think there's something about it being outside that makes people (some people!) think that the normal rules don't apply. Maybe the fact that it's not dark for most of the show either...? I agree. Last time we went, a family had a full scale picnic and were struggling to hold it all on their knees. Passing the smelly dip to go with the tortilla chips back and forth was a particular highlight. I found a matinee at the Globe to be quite disruptive too ( though a lot of people are there for the experience rather than the play) and I felt it was the daylight that removed some of the expectation of being quiet.

One of our local theatres (provincial) has banned large bags, announced bag searches and closed the cloakroom.

Just had a look at the show website and it says "Danny Mac is only performing at dates in 2017". So that's 8 out of 17 venues..

I think of him as Daddy Warbucks, because my kids watched that version of Annie...and recently realised he's Professor Callahan in the Legally Blonde film.

Just noticed that this evening's edition (6.35) features musical theatre people again. Tim Rice, Don Black, Siobhan Dillon, Nigel Planer and others.

I thought he was mocking the person having the prolonged coughing fit but it was hard to tell.

Am I the only one thinking he benefitted from the love for LaLaland? Anyway, it was rather sweet.

Anyway, on a solo trip to the O-House MCR tonight I was mulling over the interval refreshment offering at ATG venues and had this GENIUS idea. Magnum. These babies would go a chuffing bomb with the theatre crowd dont you think? Why don't they sell them? The problem is, you take a bite and half the chocolate falls off..tricky when the lights go down..

(Incidentally, the Nick Hytner memoir is really interesting on his attempts to change the pricing structure and encourage new audiences - I highly recommend reading it to those of you interested in this topic!) Available on iPlayer at present, read by the man himself, as it's been Book of the Week on Radio 4.

Rent didn't announce Lucie's understudy when I saw it, either. We saw one photo on social media of a sign in the foyer, but we didn't spot it.
