I got offered tickets for this but as I have zero interest in fashion I declined. Mind you the seats I were offered ranged from over £200 to £650 and that was for upper circle or balcony.

I see from the livestream of the event that this one of the first times we can see the flexibility of Theatre Royal Drury Lane. It appears they've removed the stalls seating and replaced with tables and chairs
But surprised that it returns to Frozen at 7PM tomorrow, guessing they'll be stripping everything outside already now that the performance has started.

With something like this, the stall removal is the easy bit and it probably only takes a few hours to put them back.

I started watching the livestream and lasted exactly 11 minutes. Got annoyed with the audience hooting and hollering at the sight of Kate Moss emerging on the stage, yet ignoring the performance of the wonderful soprano. FKA Twigs was ok, but not my vibe. The camera work was all over the place and I just couldn't get into it. The opening moments made me unsure how it was supposed to be supporting theatre, but I understand there were excerpts of famous plays later in the evening. I suppose I'm old fashioned - I'd rather watch a Hey Mister Producer or Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber type programme that raises funds for Acting for Others than this fashion show mishmash.
