    It looks as though some posts made early this evening may have vanished in the changeover. Certainly at least one of mine appears to have disappeared

    Well, *if* you think that looks nice. Personally, I hate it Takes all sorts

    Having looked into this in a bit more detail, there are no engineering works on the Fri and Sat. My guess is that it's Mon-Thurs only or something, because after all, who on earth might want to go out in London on a weekday evening? Just a shame that it screws up the one performance I might bother going down there for. Although at nearly £40 for a day return perhaps I won't bother anyway.

    So it did. I'd forgotten.

    Bargain If only I could go ...

    That one's Nutcracker. Try this one: http://www.travelzoo.com/uk/entertainment/-14-50-up-English-National-Ballet-s-Le-Corsaire--2185247/

    Ten-ish. Probably a bit before, because it seemed that the intervals were very long last night.

    Oh no Not another one.

    I hope everyone will forgive me if I totally digress from the subject for a minute, but Bruce: it's just occurred to me to wonder, is the Broadway production just a duplicate of the UK one, Thatcher, miners' strike and all, or has it been "localised" to the USA as the Full Monty musical was?

    Cheered me right up too - until I made the mistake of trying to get home My train operating company is obviously completely incapable of organising the proverbial celebration in a brewery, because it managed to turn what ought to have been little more than an inconvenience into a major screw-up: what should have been a less-than-20-minute journey turning into 1 hour 35 minutes - I've only just got home. Consequently, most of the enjoyment I felt at what was supposed to be a belated birthday treat has been totally dissipated by the stress of missing last connections and so on

    I was hurrying to do my earlier post and get into the Coliseum for tonight's Le Corsaire, so let's clarify: the engineering works appear to be on the London-Southampton route. There are of course other rail routes to Southampton: I don't automatically think that the whole country revolves around London

    Double and triple blast. Anyone going to evening performances, CHECK YOU HAVE TRAINS HOME. There appear to be engineering works and replacement bus services that week GRRRRR!
  14. alison
    Goodness, almost enough photos for one a minute! And the clarity is gorgeous.

    Blast. Only one performance for Brandon and Delia, and it's an evening one. After my last hell trying to get back from Soton, am I prepared to risk it again?

    I picked up the SE London local paper earlier today, which has a lot of coverage since Bowie's "patch" falls well within its circulation area. I was going to share an interesting article about people's memories of him - until I discovered just how much coverage there is! Here's the search link, if you want to start browsing: http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/search/?search=bowie (Make sure you have PLENTY of time!) And some from the local branch of the Kentish Times: http://www.bromleytimes.co.uk/home/search?submitted=true&action=search&siteId=2.3061&freeText=david+bowie&sort=publishedDate_descending&slotSearch=true

    Just when I'd spent a lot of time yesterday trying to put the casting into some easily readable/visible order
  18. alison
    Yes, I think with Alice the three tickets I *did* manage to book ended up all being for the same cast. There was a heck of a lot of attempted ticket swapping going on once the casts were finally announced. We don't necessarily need to know *who* is dancing, just when different casts will be performing. But we still don't have The Invitation yet, of course ...
  19. alison
    Goodness. Wasn't that about the time they did the Watson Mayerling, or is my brain playing tricks on me? Or perhaps it was the Rojo/Acosta Manon?

    "Fully engaged" - but not locked, if I've understood it right?

    Has McGregor used Nyx before, or am I getting ahead of myself and thinking of some previous statement he's made about the piece - like saying he was going to be choreographing something using the music?

    Did you say this when Wayne Eagling choreographed that piece, the name of which escapes me, for the men of ENB to go with Giselle as well, BBB? (I guess that it would probably be being worked on largely when the company are performing Giselle, in which the men are, after all, distinctly underused?) Who knows, perhaps we might get an all-male pas de deux, the absence of which some commentators also complain about?

    Interesting comment from (Sir) Matthew Bourne from this week's Links: "We went to the theatre whenever we could even if it meant sitting in the gods. Those experiences have really influenced my work, as I want it to look good from wherever you sit. The cheap seats shouldn’t be an any worse experience than being in the front of the stalls."
