Not like it’s a competition of disappointment or anything (but let’s face it, it is really) but how many shows have you missed out on so far? Not just dates that have passed but future bookings that are confirmed as either cancelled or not now happening on the date you booked for.
I’m way down the bottom of the league but let’s kick things off with my meagre, nay, frugal offering.
1 x Night of the Living Dead Remix.
1 x Tina Turner Tribute.
1 x Back to the Future Tour
3 x Phantom Tour
1 x Les Mis tour
1 x West Side Story
1 x A Little Night Music
1 x Hairspray
This takes me up to end of May plus a couple of shows beyond that which have already announced cancels or reschedules.
go on.... blow me out of the water!

None, and it will stay at that as I have nothing booked. I last went to the theatre on the 12th of March and that was the last ticket I had.

Just The Seagull and the Music of Judy concert at the Southbank at the minute, but expecting Sunday in the Park and A Doll's House to follow soon.
Plus postponements of 4000 Miles, To Kill A Mockingbird and a Queen gig at the O2.
Nothing else booked apart from a couple of Young Vic shows over the summer.

2 Swan Lakes at ROH, Daddy, Judi Dench at the Bridge, Indecent, The Seagull, 4000 Miles x 2, Jack Absolute at NT, and Dear Evan Hansen. And, considering that the Barbican will be closed till the end of May, I'm also missing for sure their Macbeth and Death in Venice. I'm still hoping for Isabelle Hubert in Glass Menagerie and Sunday in the Park with Jake but alas

Not too many: luckily, I was quite indecisive about buying tickets far ahead, so it ended up being just a few.
In March I had two shows I was due to see for the second time - Afterplay and The Welkin - both of which I was so looking forward to! I'm a happy repeat offender when it comes to theatre, and in these two cases I love the work of the directors - and had loved both plays the first time around - so the idea to see them again was such a joy! I'd booked for a talk with James Macdonald and Lucy Kirkwood at the National too, so I was really excited about rewatching The Welkin after hearing what they had to say about it. I was also meant to go to the Hampstead theatre for the first time, to see The Dumb Waiter, and to see a few more shows at the VAULT Festival.
In April it was Claybourne Park (for what would have been my first time at the Park), Katie Mitchell's Orlando (which I saw online a few days ago, and will definitely go see in Berlin when I can - I simply love Mitchell's work), The Effect at the Boulevard, 4000 Miles at the Old Vic and Rare Earth Mettle at the Royal Court.
In May I'd only booked for the House of Shades at the Almeida (I was about to book for Daddy too, but that never happened - I have gone to see everything at the Almeida since I moved to the neighbourhood, I love that theatre), and in June for The Glass Menagerie at the Barbican and The Glow at the Court. I hadn't booked for anything further ahead.
I was also supposed to see two concerts - Foals and Toby Driver. The former has been postponed until May 2021, the latter may sadly never happen now.
The next concerts I have lined up (Steven Wilson and The Pineapple Thief) are in September, so I'm keeping fingers crossed those will still happen.

My spreadsheet which lists what I'd booked from lockdown to the end of August shows 43 shows, of which I've got 4 postponements, 6 still going ahead at the moment and everything else cancelled....

24 confirmed cancellations plus 3 in July/August that I'm expecting to be cancelled. I tend to book operas/ballets/concerts further in advance then fill in the gaps with West End stuff nearer the time, which at least means I haven't had to deal with ATG! The ROH accounts for the most, with 8 performances, followed by Opera Holland Park with 4.

Comedy shows March-June - Ed Byrne, David Baddiel, Frank Skinner, Rhod Gilbert and Dara O'Briain. All rescheduled to Sept or Oct.
Musicals - Les Mis tour, waiting to hear if this will be rescheduled for Bristol.
Not holding out much hope that the Mamma Mia tour will still be coming to Bristol in the first week of June, but no word from ATG yet.

24, if you count events that haven’t been cancelled (yet) but have been postponed to some undetermined future date. Most of the 24 events were in New York, but three were plays I was supposed to see in London the first week in June: The Watsons, The Southbury Child (both now cancelled), and Leopoldstadt (postponed). That trip obviously won’t happen now, although what will happen to the money I laid out for my airfare is anyone’s guess.
