I think we just need to sit tight for a while...it seems Lauren Cuthbertson has been replaced by Laura Morera in the 23rd April and 2nd May performances of AMITC so maybe there will need to be other positions to be clarified too

A shame for Akane Takada, I’m sure it won’t stop Sarah doing her bit the next day though…she’ll only have one act to do

I think it was Junker, he did an individual walk forward at the curtain call.

Interesting there is no more announcement about face coverings before the start of the performance and the Perspex barriers have been removed from the ticket office desks. Oh and I found The Weathering a lot more interesting second time around

Melissa, Amelia and a load of chaps

They’ve sorted it within 90 minutes

The link for tonight’s performance on the Cast List page doesn’t work as it’s just underlined text….I wonder if they’ll notice and change it

That's quite useful. it doesn't answer an earlier question about who is doing the staging of Cinderella but shows the Magic Consultant has already been finalised😄

Yaaaay for Mayerling, Cinderella, SB, Diamond Celebration... and a tentative welcome for Woolf Works which I recorded off the telly before I watched my first ballet in 2016 and still haven't watched!

This one is still available

I'd still like to know what a man over near the orchestra pit area of the Stalls Circle shouted just before the start of DGV

That's definitely what I mean, she starts when she's supposed to start, she finishes when she's supposed to finish and she's doing however many turns she wants in between.

My camera’s focusing doesn’t like contemporary!

Anna Rose’s outfit was the highlight, along with some of the chaps’ moves that I may try out when I put the bins out.

I’m selling D5 currently on page four if you are interested

Stories appear as a row of little circles at the top of the screen on your phone or laptop...scroll along to find the poster you are looking for. The algorithm pushes posters you look at regularly to the front (left) of the line and then the rest are in time order.

She posted it as a Story rather than a regular post...so it only lasted for 24 hours

One last bump before it's returned to the box office.....

I think so.
