    I hear that some audience members at Moulin Rouge last night were so drunk and disruptive that the show had to be stopped. How disturbing and unpleasant for the cast, FOH and the rest of the audience. Grateful for small mercies at the ballet.

    Here’s a picture of the KKC sticker, now in pride of place on the back of my phone!

    Finally? It’s been on the casting thread for over 2 weeks.

    See the casting thread.

    I paid another visit to Wicked at the weekend and there the announcement is that taking photographs and recording is unlawful. I think this is a good, strong message. Meanwhile, at Moulin Rouge!, you are allowed to take pictures during the pre-show but then the ushers appear with wooden boards with a "no cameras" image and they are quite forceful in asking people to stop (particularly at the end of the show). The announcement there is not to sing along until the grand finale (which I usually do, lustfully!).

    That's the equivalent of a 14 or 15 storey building!!! If it were metres, that would be more than 2.5 times the depth of the deepest tube station (which, as any fule kno, is Hampstead).

    A phone went off in the orchestra during the Tannhaeuser rehearsal!

    They get a ticket for a performance, the opportunity to see the first performance of a new production. No-one is forcing anyone to go to the first night.

    Pam Tanowitz announced the name of the ballet at the recent “in rehearsal” event, which was very interesting (as they often are!).

    which seems eminently sensible to me

    I'd add Laura Morera and Tamara Rojo into that mix!

    As in a professional company, I'm sure "new" dancers benefit from collaborating with more experienced dancers.

    That's only at weekends and on public holidays. Monday to Friday CTK closes at 2300 (I'm quite used to the station - my office is directly above it). And when CTK is closed, Blackfriars is only a couple of minutes walk further on.

    As I said above, the ROH online booking system does not have a restriction on leaving single seats. I have just been through the process, leaving a single seat, and there were no issues whatsoever.

    The tree failing to rise is a problem with the stage, not the tree itself or its wiring (unfortunately). As we know from Mayerling and the coffin not being lowered into the stage, the mechanics of the stage need a lot of work!

    Nowhere in the press release does it say that 2023 is the company's 60th anniversary. It refers to the tour being part of the anniversary celebrations. The first performance by TAB was on 2 November 1962 so the tour will take place before the 61st anniversary of the company.

    so, as I said, at least 7 days…

    Unions have to give at least 7 days’ notice of strike action.

    So far as this forum is concerned, it was a team effort.

    I think you’re being rather naive.

    Whilst I'm loathe to mention Cinderella again on a Nutcracker thread, I feel I have to say there are no "ugly sisters" in Ashton's Cinderella, they are "step sisters".
