Spring 24 Booking opened for general Friends today - Got all that I wanted and service - once in - (the three dots waiting for the waiting room did seem to sputter rather) - went fairly smoothly. It does seem a bit strange to congratulate a service for simply doing its job .... but I suppose the situation has in the past been so dire that with the ROH - much akin to TFL who are very good at congratulating themselves - that such is I suppose a matter of achievement. Somehow I feel this is a rather sad reflection of the times we seem to live in hereabouts at this juncture.

Any sign of Spring casting yet? I think it was due to go up early this week.

Brilliant. The website seems to be barely functioning this morning - or is it just my browsers? I can't even get into any of the Spring events to book On the odd occasion that I've been able to get onto the production pages, there are no links to any of the performances.

Presumably this will be announced fairly soon - I am thinking within a few weeks? With 24 performances (17 last time in 2015, 14 in 2013) there are all sorts of casting opportunities for Romeo and Juliet. Cast as Juliet last time and still with the RB were/are Cuthbertson, Hayward , Lamb, Naghdi and Nunez (plus Osipova, injured in 2015, also Hamilton, who was cast in 2013 and was on leave in 2015); cast as Romeo last time and still with the RB were/are McRae, Muntagirov, Bonelli, Ball, Kish and Soares. Naghdi/Ball is hopefully a given (including live cinema) but for example who will, and who should, partner Hayward this time (instead of Golding)? - Campbell? Sambe? Bracewell? Muntagirov? Surely a debut for Takada? I would also hope maybe for Heap? For Frankenstein, I see there was only Morera and Lamb as Elizabeth last time, and Bonelli and Dyer as Victor - with the creature shared betwenn McRae, Kish and Hirano. So again, some more scope for debuts?

Manon casting is now up on the ROH website. so pleased to see Bonelli and Morera cast together after their sensational Mayerling!

Booking opened this morning at 9 am. There was a brief wait and then I was in and out in a few minutes. Astonishingly there were stalls circle standing tickets - good ones too. some of them - available for all the dates I wanted to book. It hasn't been this good in years, so thank you to all involved. Fingers crossed that all previous glitches have been resolved once and for all.

Nowadays the casting for the next booking period is usually on the website by the time I get my ROH Magazine but doesn't seem to be this time, so here it is: The Four Temperaments/New Hofesh Shechter/Song of the Earth: March 27th: McRae*, Osipova*, Bonelli*, Watson, Yanowsky*/The Company/Nunez, Soares*, Acosta March 30th: Muntagirov*, Osipova, Bonelli, Underwood*, Heap*/The Company/Morera, Kish, McRae* April 8th and 10th: McRae, Lamb*, Golding*, Watson, Yanowsky/The Company/Nunez, Soares, Acosta April 14th: Muntagirov, Lamb, Golding, Underwood, Heap/The Company/Morera, Kish, McRae La Fille mal gardee: April 16th, 24th: Morera, Muntagirov* April 21st, May 2nd mat: Marquez, Zucchetti* April 22nd, 28th: Nunez, Acosta April 23rd, 29th, May 5th live relay: Osipova*, McRae April 26th mat, May 2nd eve: Choe, Campbell*
