I’ve pm’d you about 19 May

….. I remember when there was an issue with the main stage floor some years back, and the poor dancers were slipping as a regular occurrence?  

I didn’t think there were any poor dancers in the RB and Anna Rose certainly isn’t 

But, on a marginally more serious note, and referring to Fonty and Bridiem’s posts, like you, I get frustrated by illogical acts. In detective series, the unaccompanied and unarmed female detective always goes into the darkened house, without waiting for back up, without switching on the lights and carrying a small torch in a ridiculous style. I’m always shouting at the tv when that happens!

So, I understand coherence.

Of course you have to suspend belief in the real world when reading or watching these things, but any work of fiction has to have its own logic.  Doesn't matter whether the story deals with fairies, magicians, aliens, time travel or anything else that doesn't actually exist (as far as we know).  The characters have to be believable, and the story has to make sense within that fictional world.  Otherwise, it's a failure as far as I am concerned!

I’m sure my fairy godmother will sort me out - probably with a wave of her wand 😀

I sometimes despair about the amount of time spent trying to apply logic to a fairy story 🤭

Yes please,

I'll pm you

A delay to the start of Act 3 as Osipova is feeling unwell but apparently she wants to continue 

Good job Luca is on standby 😉

A fabulous Act 3 from EVERYONE.

Wow!

A debut for Julia Roscoe as the Polish princess 

But I didn’t check if any are SCS

The website says there are 24 tickets available 🤞

I now have them. 😀

I’m looking for two tickets for this performance. They needn’t be together

Question to forum members:

Any débuts tonight Friday 28 January, Saturday 29 January matinée or evening performances?

Thanks

I’m told it’s Reece Clarke's debut as Romeo on Saturday evening

Yep, I assume row H of the stalls is quite good?
I'm restricted to returns only for a pretty sold out performance, otherwise I would have chosen the stalls circle!

It’s much better 

What position/standing place is it?

Thanks

As far as I know ENB isn't doing online cast lists. There are free paper copy cast lists available at the theatre so you don't have to buy a programme (unless you want to, of course).

That’s great, thanks 😊 

I’m sorry if I’ve missed an earlier post but I’m afraid I’ve come late to this thread and am wondering if anyone has a link to a cast list, similar to that posted at the ROH?

I’ve sent a DM

God, this is such awful news.

 

So sorry for the people who will miss the show and the cast and the company, as if the past couple of years haven't been bad enough, and so much of their revenue comes from The Nutcracker.

 

Also such a shame for those who were making the SPF debuts too (and all debuts). I think a few were due last year and were cancelled then too. 

 

Just a shame all round. Can't believe we're finding ourselves back here again.

It’s different this time round. The last closure was a result of the Government’s lockdown. This time it’s in response to the health of the dancers and support staff. 

Ticket now gone 

In case it’s not clear, this is a giveaway 

Can anyone use Stalls Circle A36 for today’s 1.30 matinee?

I’m waiting on a couple of calls but contact me if you can.

Really liked the fight scene between dancers of the company.  Is it shorter than pre-pandemic version?  Or am I imagining things.

It's very good - but different.

For my part, and I’m probably engaging my 'inner child', I very much miss the White Lodge 'rats'; stabbing with their swords whilst twirling their tails, the two mice bringing on a stretcher to carry off their injured colleague and, at the end, struggling under weight of the mouse king as he topples into their arms and is carried off stage by them. 
 

So, good though the current ‘lockdown' version is, I (and probably most children) look forward to their return 😯

Yes please
