I worked at the Bridge for a while during this show and saw thousands of its audience members (and probably lots of you lot). There was an extremely diverse age range and ethnic mix, although if you came to a weekday or Sunday matinee you probably wouldn't see that so much. So you're saying the Bridge is extremely diverse, but only on Saturdays? |

No, I'm saying that matinees tended to attract a less diverse audience. But that's the case in most theatres I've worked in.
Weekday evenings especially were a really broad mix because it was a fairly short show and people would come from work.

Weekday matinees are generally dominated by the older retired crowd, a simple fact of logistics usually. With the exception of school group shows, and things on during 'holiday' periods. Even then it's the least diverse audience for most theatres. |

Oh I love a matinee. I always feel so young.

I went to a few weekday matinees when recovery from surgery and with the exception of the actual students who had also managed to blag cheap tickets it tends to be the elderly and tourists.
With the exception of Hamilton there is a rarely any play that I would take the day off work for.
