Popped to Woking last night to see the first show of the week there. It's a nice theatre and an easy walk from the station. One slight annoyance, having booked a front row seat well in advance, they had added an additional three rows in front, which were far from full. I do think that theatres should offer people the option to move forward when they add extra rows. Still, the view was good and they'd left plenty of leg room.
It's a few years since I've been to this theatre. The last trip I can remember was for the Top Hat tour, where I managed to get trapped outside in section that they'd blocked off for cast and crew (yes, someone did let me back in). The theatre is built alongside a hill, which can be confusing with various entrances and exits.
The woman in front of me in the security queue had two mini bottles of wine confiscated from her handbag. I don't know how many the man she was with had hidden in his coat, which wasn't searched.
The show itself was on great form, with all the leads on. They announced the band leader at the start, which I don't remember happening before. This one has very much settled in now it's well into the tour, but as much fun as ever.
Don't know if I'll get chance to catch this cast again, but the New Victoria Theatre Woking is back on my radar as an easy journey from London.
