Theatre and other live performances

Cheers Rebs, that’s our evening’s entertainment sorted.

If nothing else, the station master at Leeds was most excellent.

[Rebel Pebble]

LEEDS! LEEDS! :lol:

Just watched it. Lovely. Mr R didn't know the book or film like I do - it's such a British thing - to it was all quite new to him.

The girls fancied a couple of things they saw advertised locally - Six and The Mousetrap - but neither theatre offered proper concessions for them (£1 less than an adult isn’t a concession in my view!) and I can’t afford minimum £80 a pop.

Due to rescheduling, Six is now on near us in December so I’ve just bought tickets for Sproglette’s birthday weekend. Just us two and it’s part of her birthday present.

We also have an outside performance of Mr Stink to look forward to in July.

The Book of Mormon tickets I bought for July have been postponed until November due to social distancing issues. I can't help but think it will be postponed again.

[Morganna]

I would like to see Six. I am writing a series of poems in the voice of Anne Boleyn, and i'm becoming a bit obsessed :)).

[Annabella]

I have gone wild this weekend booking shows: June, Romeo and Juliet at Regent's Park Outdoor Theatre for me and a friend. July at the Bridge theatre (London) Bach and Sons (Simon Russell Beale as Bach) with another friend. August, Carousel at Regent's Park with my Mum. 2 January Aladdin the Panto at Lyric Hammersmith me and OH. Just hoping weather is good for the outdoor.

[Flora Poste]

That all sounds great, Annabella. My friend just messaged me about booking Six for June/ July, so I think we'll do that.

I have booked for the Book of Mormon in November for Partner's birthday. We celebrated his 50th last year by catching covid and having a pizza delivered, so we are due a treat.

Have you seen it before?

[Ruby]

No. But I think we will love it. I've booked a hotel and everything.

[H1ppychick]

It is very funny, and so clever.

[Turtle Bean]

Book of Mormon is hilarious. I'm not a huge musicals fan so wasn't really looking forward to it but I laughed a LOT.

[Ella]

It's so shocking but so funny.

[Luce]

I don't know why, considering the writers, but I had absolutely no idea that Book of Mormon would be so shocking/rude and I absolutely loved it. We saw it in NYC on our 10th wedding anniversary

I've got tickets to see Caitlin Moran in July, I'm dead excited.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I keep needing to be reminded that we have Lady Gaga in July. I can’t hold the date or venue in my head. Anyway, the plan is to make a weekend of it.

[Ruby]

Book of Mormon is hilarious. I'm not a huge musicals fan so wasn't really looking forward to it but I laughed a LOT.

Well, I generally heartily dislike musical theatre but I am assured it's different. I only really like funny/rude/scary theatre. I would have been one of the unwashed in Shakespeare's times, standing up and laughing at the knob jokes.

[Ella]

I hate musicals on the whole, but it's not like other musicals :)).

[Flora Poste]

I didn't find BofM that shocking/ rude but did find it very funny. I realised that one of my local friends really doesn't know me all that well when she took great trouble to warn me that I might be offended by it.

[Ella]

I found it SO shocking :lol:. Mind you, I find lots of things shocking.

[Luce]

Oh, you’ll love it Ruby. I particularly laughed at the merch being sold afterwards :))
