Formerly louisec but now rebranding to match my blog and the name I generally use elsewhere.

Hi everyone! I have also chosen (for now) to keep my old username intact. I travel to London several times a year for the shows and also often see various touring productions. I work as a travel agent and although my main priority is selling holidays abroad I do love selling the London theatre breaks when I can!

Adara over there; Adara over here. (Thought I'd stake it out to avoid confusion. Indeed, I may have actually told the system my NAME is Adara. Which it isn't. Although I've been known to answer to that IRL.)
Angeleno who gets to London for theatre at least once a year. Often twice. Thrice, if I can swing it.

Post by theatremadness on Jan 21, 2016 21:49:15 GMT
Formerly musicalmadness. Musicals are my first love but I have grown to really love all forms of theatre, so I thought a change to theatremadness would be more appropriate. Thought I'd also take the chance to create an avatar as I really like that feature!
Member of the WOS/TheatreForum board since 2010. Since then I've trained in musical theatre at drama school and appeared in a couple of shows. Hoping my identity shall never be revealed/found out as my want is to just talk about theatre! Live in London therefore I managed to see quite a lot of theatre. Feel very lucky!
Thanks again to those who got us here!

Hello everyone! I never introduced myself on the old board. I'm originally from California and will have lived in NYC for 5 years this spring. I grew up seeing tours and try to see shows in California whenever I visit my family during the holidays. I see at least three shows a month on average, though I used to live way closer to Times Square and getting out of bed and into a rush line was easier until I moved to Queens.
I work as a copy editor for a new site recently launched by a global media company. I've only been to London three times, all since 2009. (Don't worry; I'm working on it.)

Hello everyone! I lurked on the other boards for a bit, but thought I would say hi I am newly transplanted to the UK from Canada and try to get into London as often as possible to enjoy the theatre scene. While I don't think I have anything worthwhile to add to the conversation, I do really enjoy reading what you all have to say!

Hi, I'm Anniel.
I was just getting the hang of posting on the last board...!
I live in Leeds so get around Leeds and Manchester theatres quite a bit. I spend far too much money on train tickets to London and love all theatre but especially musicals. And anything starring handsome men. I'm that shallow. Oh yes, and my latest claim of shame is that I slept through the entire first act of Waste. So it was one....

Hi everyone! I only posted once on the old board, but lurked regularly and always enjoyed it. I live in Texas and see as much theater as I can here, as well as getting to London and New York as often as possible (which isn't really very often) to see even more shows.

Post by CG on the loose on Jan 22, 2016 0:30:56 GMT
Hi there - CG on the loose, there and here (promise not to run amok), member since 2010 but infrequent poster. Live in the Midlands and work in London 2-3 days a week so take advantage of the theatrical delights it has to offer as often as possible. Love musicals, have grown to love plays too and also squeeze in a fair few concerts and the odd comedy show, averaging 2-3 shows a week over the year. The fringe is my friend - couldn't afford to see anywhere near the number of shows I manage if I had to pay WE prices - and also see a fair amount of regional theatre, both local to home and further afield.

Morning everyone. A long time lurker on the old board. Never a day goes by were I'm not checking in to see who thinks what about theatre. Work in Musical Theatre and look forward to contributing to the board now that we have moved.

I'm Baemax, you may remember me from such TheatreForum.com members as... well, Baemax. I live just outside the M25 so travel into London to see shows most weekends. (I try not to neglect my local or the regions, but there are only so many weekends in a year.) I like to go to New York when I can afford it, but as that's approximately once every eight years, I'm hardly a regular visitor. I enjoy many different types of theatre but tend to see more plays than musicals, and I have an awful soft spot for Shakespeare. I was originally a long-term lurker on The Other Forum, but registered when all the discussion was hidden for members only, and have been a regular poster ever since, which I don't anticipate changing.

Hi, Anita here. - But of course that isn't my real name. I've been reading the old board for years but not posting very often. Live in Welling, Kent so just down the road from "The Phantom of London" if he is here.

Glossie checking in. Live in Gloucester, don't get to London as often as I used to, or would like to, but visit Cheltenham Everyman regularly and have been known to venture back to Bristol and sometimes down to Bath.
Tend to get on a rant when people say that "it's easy to get cheap tix by dayseating or turning up at Box Office or subscribing to...."... yeah, if you don't have to book train travel 12 weeks in advance to be able to afford it and the first train in is 10:45 and the last home is 9:30p.m, or face a 3hr 30min each way coach journey..............
See, warned you....sorry... Hello everyone, lovely to be here!!!

Debbie here, former meat pie and all round good time girl! Currently based in Brighton I work in AdultSocialCare as well as being on long term sick (and soon to be fired) from being a Civil Servant (civil? I can't stand the c***!). I like spending my time writing my comic book and plays (general themes: nudity and blood), drinking and smoking(pot)and stroking my hair. I'm a bit sick of theatre at the moment. On the other forum I had a warning point a whole year before I noticed. That says it all about me.

horton is still horton.
Worked in the West End from mid-80s to... (see avatar).
Still working, but comfortably out in the sticks.
Glad the old gang is sticking together- Merrily We Roll Along, eh?

That's the position I'm in if I want to see something in the West End. At least going to Stratford Upon Avon, I can book a coach from Leigh to Birmingham much closer to the performance date without it being too expensive (well, that and a sneaky 20%off code)

Hello all! I used to post (infrequently) on the other forum under JaszyR91 but now I'm just Jasmine because no one ever calls me Jaz or Jazzy - I hate it! what was I thinking?! Living in Leicester means I don't have the privilege of seeing shows in London too often due to travel costs, but I don't do too badly I suppose. Glad that so many familiar faces are making the move over here!

Kept my name from the old forum. Didn't used to post much because the theatre industry was my career. Now I've moved into another field so can probably get away with joining in now without a conflict of interest. Live in London and like musicals although do see the occasional play.
