I don't post much, but read lots and will miss Theatremonkey's contributions - thank you TM, I wish you all the best!
I also never book a seat without checking the TM seat plans - such a valuable resource

He's confirmed on Twitter he's okay. Whatever is going on in this life, best to leave it as private as he wishes it to be.

I probably should say that I'll miss his seat advice but actually what I'm going to miss most is all the banana jokes!

Only just seen this - very sad news!! I always used TM's website for tips on seating, day seats and even directions to a theatre! So to be able to interact with him on here was a true pleasure. As others have said, hope he's OK and will be sorely missed. Open arms and ripe bananas await should he ever return.

Sad to hear this I don't post often at all but read regularly and he's one of the most respected people here in my view |

I always used TM's website for tips on seating, day seats and even directions to a theatre! Me too, a fantastic resource for navigating around theatres, especially when I was just getting back into theatregoing after a long illness break a couple of years ago. I do hope he comes back. |

Seatplan is another good option if TM's site stays down. But unfortunately it doesn't have his wisdom on bargain seats etc that TM had |

I was privileged to meet TM "Once" a few months ago and he is as friendly and approachable in person as online. Truly fascinating to talk to.

Let's hope its "au revoir" rather than "adieu".

But unfortunately it doesn't have his wisdom on bargain seats etc that TM had His website is working for me now so it was hopefully just some temporary glitch earlier. I know he was getting some snags with the new website design sorted out recently so maybe it was offline for a bit as part of that.
ETA Blimey, I've just noticed that the How was your day thread has gone from 456 pages to 402 pages, presumably due to the removal of the Monkey's posts!

Another fan of Mr Monkey here. Had a great response to a report I sent ages ago from him as Admin. Hope all is well in Banana Town, and I'll keep reading his excellent blogs on his excellent web site.

Like others, I was thrilled when Theatremonkey started liking my posts.
Whatever his reasons for leaving, I'm sure he won't have taken the decision lightly.
A sad departure of a fair, measured, funny, knowledgeable, generous and kind member.

I really hope theatremonkey returns to the Theatre Board cast to resume the role he originated. Our show will not be the same without him.

I’m a bit late to the discussion but thank you, theatremonkey. In my two years on TheatreBoard on both of my accounts you’ve always been friendly and helpful to me, and your website is very useful. I hope everything is okay.
