  1. During May Week in my final year at college, we went to an outdoor screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. There was plenty of audience action, as one would expect, and we all had our water pistols at the ready for the storm scene when, low and behold, at precisely the right moment, it started to rain. The shower lasted for exactly the same length of time as the song...
  2. The cast of Rocky Horror in the stage show version also expect audience partici...
  3. Sorry but I'm going to keep on the tangent for a little longer, as I think it's a rather interesting topic. It's not unsurprising that people do not think the Coliseum is the largest theatre (by seating capacity) in central London - this is usually attributed to the Palladium but it lies between the Coliseum and ROH in terms of the number of seats. I say "central", as the Hammersmith Apollo has the most seats of any theatre in the UK (but IMO it's a bit of a monstrosity). The Coliseum has the deepest stage amongst UK theatres but not the widest proscenium opening (or stage width) - that is the Barbican Theatre! The Coliseum's proscenium opening is about 3 metres wider than the ROH.
  4. The curtain at the Coliseum is purple, not red. The Coli has a proscenium arch whereas the ROH has a straight top.
  5. Am pleased to see that ticket confirmation emails from ATG now include the following wording: “We request that you show consideration to your fellow audience members by ensuring that the only entertainment comes from the professionals on stage. Anti-social behaviour towards staff or other customers will not be tolerated and will result in you being asked to leave the venue.“
  6. I have SCS D26 available for this performance, face value is £12. Please PM if interested.
  7. For those online at 9 o'clock, there were quite a few non-restricted view tickets available, including some in the central section of the balcony. Yes they are (and public booking is already open).
  8. Strongly agree (and I remember the days of the ballot for friends booking at the ROH too - thankfully that's well in the past).
  9. I trying to fathom why the use of a queuing system for an online booking platform when it is very busy is a "low online performance". There are plenty of other institutions (private and public) that use similar systems (and some of them are worse, by using random entry rather than progressing through the queue) and, golly gosh, I'm aware that young people use those too! Strangely enough, I was on at 0900 on the dot this morning (having already logged in) and wasn't placed in a queue and booked the tickets I wanted with no hassle whatsoever.
  10. I must say that Mr Webb and the whole team in Sarasota are very welcoming to visitors!
  11. I have SCS D26 available for this performance - face value is £12. Please PM if interested.
  12. Having done a quick check yesterday (whilst working out casts for all my Cinderella tickets...), I noticed that there are only a couple of performances that are now "underperforming"!
  13. I'd like to see Sweet Violets again. It's one of those pieces that needs some homework but works well once one understands the different characters (a bit like Mayerling in that respect?).
  14. I have SCS D26 available for both 18 and 19 April. Face value is £12, please PM if interested.
