I missed Bill Nighy and Avenue Q Resident.
I think SRB was at the Waste Platform, on this basis alone he and I should be friends.

I would've tried had he not left at the interval! Though that might not mean he didn't like it, he may have never intended/been able to stay and watch the whole show. It might also mean he thought it was pants though, which is more likely. People don't generally go to a show planning to leave at the interval unless they don't like it. Was he really titchy? I just remembered, when I saw Spend Spend Spend back in '99, ALW was in and he left at the interval. |

I wonder if ALW, Cameron etc get house seats? I'm sure if you're the theatre owner, you'd probably could pop in and watch a bit of the show.

Generally production staff can get in and do that. Usually house seats are held until day of and it's not that unusual for production etc to sit in. Generally though I can't think of an example where they'd leave halfway-if they were giving notes/there to see a particular performer they'd need to see the whole thing to feedback.
I once had the pleasure of having to sit next to Peter Gill for several previews of a play that shall remain nameless and desperately trying to stay awake for it. (later in the run I didn't bother to try) Similarly my Mother was once quizzed by Bill Kenwright's co-producer at the interval of a show after he'd spent the first half scribbling notes.

I couldn't possible confirm or deny such a thing. (actually I could had I been awake for most of the run)

Bit of a tenuous link as it wasn't in a theatre or in the audience but last night at the pub before the Theatre Quiz Jamie Muscato (think thats how it's spelt) was sitting behind where Theatrecub and I were.

My best spot for a while of a proper celeb in a fringe venue - Eddie Redmayne was at Luce at the Southwark Playhouse tonight

Fairly certain Max Stafford Clark was next to me (in a reserved seat) at A Girl is a Half-Formed a Thing.

Bertie Carvel at People, Places and Things, and a two-for-one for the Bad Behaviour thread because a phone rang and he did the full on neck-twist death-glare to make then shut up.

I walked past Russell Tovey walking his dog on Holborn. Does that count?
