42nd Street at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane

Yeah, cheer up everyone! I'd love to hear about some more of the muck ups from this afternoon. Have fun those of you there tonight.

Some favourite muck ups:

Peggy knocking Julian off his feet at the start.

Diane using a posh English accent, turning blonde, walking around with champagne glasses and generally sending the part up.

Phyllis and Lorraine holding hands/linking arms a lot of the time.

Dorothy lifting her back leg up when being kissed by Pat (like Peggy usually does).

Later, when Julian kisses Peggy, he pushed her back so she couldn’t lift her leg.

One of the male ensemble staying quietly sat on the seats at the back of the stage reading a book.

At the end of Getting Out of Town, people piling their luggage on the block that had to be carried out and Luke sitting on it.

Same scene, canary out of its state, handed to Julian.

Ryan using a police hat instead of a top hat during Dames.

Changed dances during Dames, with legs crossing during the mirror scene and two circles at the end so Dorothy could be seen straight away.

Zac coming on as an extra bar boy during the club scene and being ordered to clean the stage by Thomas.

Only one sailor in the act one finale.

Two extra people saying “she sure is pretty” one after another in Sunny Side.

During Lullaby, the female group stopping singing so only one of them sung Milkman.

During the same song, Billy moving aside when Julian went to cover his mouth, finishing the note!

In Plenty of Money, only Joel doing the first hand extension. Only James doing the second.

In 42nd Street, the Thief (Joel) having something on string attached to his back, which he threw offstage but left the string. Then he died in awkward position. Policeman trying to give him CPR, ending with a cameo from Freddie giving him the kiss of life!

And, of course, Bonnie joining the dance at the end.

There were a load more too, including extended lines and comments with microphones off. Clapping at unusual points. Show went about 10 minutes longer than usual.

There’s nothing wrong with this in any way! People are allowed two tickets when they day seat. They don’t have to both be there. Daniel’s friend at the front of the queue took two tickets as they were perfectly entitled to, and then gave one to Daniel. All fair and above board.

I’m in my seat! Can’t wait... here’s to one last magical evening 🥂

Couldn’t find anyone in the bar but enjoyed my glass of champagne (thanks to my saved voucher from Lord Webber).

Enjoy the show everyone!

Have a brilliant time everyone - sadly they've refused to sell on my ticket - seems the theatre would prefer an empty seat even though I clearly said I wasn't expecting a refund!

Interval time.

Atmosphere is electric. They even got me cheering (I normally just clap politely).

Bonnie really nailed Boulevard. Never heard it sound better.

A few of the cast were crying during Audition. Can’t blame them, it’s a happy but sad night.

The whole cast are on fire tonight. What a way to finish.

The atmosphere in here is just incredible. You can tell how much love people have for the show. The cast are sensational as usual, and Bonnie is really milking it tonight! Boulevard was indeed spectacular, as was We’re In The Money with a jump splits from Ashley instead of the cartwheel!!

Ashley does always do jump splits there, but still looks as impressive!

I still found it jarring how Clare Halse doesn’t receive the last bow. I think people have really underrated how damn hard she works in that show. I saw the understudy a while ago and it really made me realise how specialClare’s performance is.

An amazing, emotional, sensational night. The west end is a little dimmer now this show is over.
