Alf from the old forum (may it rest in peace), decided to change my name to something appropriately theatrical for the relaunch (and to match my blog that I'm trying to start up). Student in Brighton at the moment, but will be heading back to 'near London' soon sadly. Mainly see things in London, but in Brighton and Chichester too.

Same name from old forum (favourite character when I joined WoS forum, despite being a bloke, knocking on 60!)
Live in N London so get to see lots of shows (often at last minute discounts or the bank would soon break!!)
Try to find something good about most things (glass half full?) Think this is because I didn't really discover I loved theatre until I was almost 40 but I'm making up for lost time (one of the few advantages of being semi-retired)
(Can tend to over-use brackets)

You're not over-using brackets, littlesally--you're giving stage directions!

I have kept the same name as on the old site. I live in Birmingham where I see as many plays as possible and some musicals but I also see most things at Stratford and get to London frequently where I often try to see two shows in one day if possible. I am also a big ballet fan so go to lots of performances by Birmingham Royal Ballet and as many other companies as I can manage.

I came to the forum late in its life (just before they closed the doors, I think). As I am "long in the tooth" compared with most forum members, I would imagine, I'm keeping this name! I'm semi-retired and take in mostly matinees, with the odd evening show thrown in for good measure. Near London.

Hi all. I was pochard at the other place too, but didn't post much. Favourite thread was the "some nudity no dogs" one which still makes me giggle. Having a (financially enforced) break from theatre at the moment so suspect will be lurking here more than usual to get my fix...Thanks to everyone for all their hard work to keep this forum going.

I was dippy and still am. I'm a massive lurker, posted 14 times in nine years, maybe I'll manage more in the next nine.
I live in London, work in film, wished I worked backstage instead of behind the camera. Love musicals, enjoy some dance and am not a big play watcher.

Long-time lurker at the old board; hoping to get in on the ground floor at this one.
I'm a huge theater buff. Live in L.A. and travel to London, on average, every year and a half. Also to NYC/Broadway every other year.
Next trip to the UK is scheduled for early May 2016.

Discovered the old forum about a year ago and used to lurk daily. Hope I didn't offend anyone with some of the posts and I'll be on best behaviour here (same name).
Love theatre, naturally, but only really get to go once a week. Based in N. London and mainly Almeida, Royal Court, Donmar and a few others...

Was Freckles, still Freckles. I'm a huge fan of theatre, musicals especially, and bargain ticket prices - otherwise I wouldn't be able to feed my addiction quite so well. I'm based just outside London, luckily on a tube line.
I'm so thankful that our little community has found a new home as I really value everyone's comments and opinions, tips and information. Cheers to those who have sorted out this new forum and to everyone else for supporting it.

Hello, I'm so glad I finally found where you guys were hiding.
I was a lurker on the very old WOS forum and missed it closing. I eventually found the old site after it had closed down! I missed all the gossip and reviews and eventually with my trusty friend google and broadway world have found you all. I'm a 30 year old musical fanatic and living near Sheffield. I've ended up joining so I don't miss out on maybe another move.....
I look forward to catching up on all the musical gossip and would like to say a big Thank You to all the people who have set this forum up.

Mallow on the old, Mallow on the new.
I live in Scotland and try and see as many touring productions as I can. I make infrequent trips to London due to work nowadays but I'm a massive musical fan. I adore the escapism it brings.

Hi I kept my name from the old forum, though you probably wouldn't recognise me as I don't post much. I live in Yorkshire so it's very rare that I go to London, but I often see touring shows locally. |

I was rhiannonxgrace on the old forum, only thing that's changed is my avatar's gone from Scarlett Strallen to Steve Buscemi (I'm not really sure why I went that route). I mostly lurked on the old forum but I'm planning on posting more now.
I live in Essex so I go see shows fairly regularly in London. I see the occasionally locally but we don't always get the best selection due to being close to the West End.

Lovely to see you back, Rhiannon! I miss your Scarlett Strallen avatar a little bit! I might go back to it, if I can remember what folder I saved it in on my laptop! |

Hello, another "lurker" from the previous board. Thanks very much for all the work setting up the new forum - without it I would have missed some really great theatre (The Dazzle for example).
I average a couple of plays/musicals a month, more when I have the time/money. I really like the smaller theatres like the Union, Southwark, Jermyn Street. Just booked for Five Finger Exercise at The Print Room which is a new venue for me: I read about on here of course!

Hi
I'm new to the forum after being introduced by my real life friend Mr Wallacio.
I live in London and go to the theatre almost once a week. I saw 47 productions last year and am on track for a similar amount this year.
I'm a fan of day seats, todaytix lottery and going to a theatre at 7.15pm and picking up premium tickets for bargain prices.
Looking forward to exploring the board and chatting to you.

Cheers. It's based on my real name. Mr Wallacio chose it. I shan't repeat other names I thought of!

Name checked! Was trying to get The Hoff to join back when we were on the site that shan't be named, but sadly when that broke I was forced to relay all the exciting banter we were having. Glad to have you on board Hoff, now there's no escaping each other. |

New to the forums in their entirety! I'm Ruth...currently 15. I'm a small-time actor(followed by various hyphens of my uninteresting half-jobs and hobbies). I've loved MT for a long time, my first ever experience being a little toddler in a choir that came the 9th runner-up in the nationwide choir search for the Joseph tour that followed Any Dream Will Do. I have an absurd habit of thinking that a play/musical/whathaveyou will be underwhelming and come out absolutely raving about it for the next month. Currents are Hamilton, In The Heights and Avenue Q.
