More information than you asked for? Not at all, what a wonderful story! So glad you are "fixed"!

exchange my more expensive tickets Thanks - I've done that with one, though the rest of the tickets I have are £17 so not really worth it given the fees.

Welcome catlover74 . Feel free to tell us all the news from the Adelaide theatre scene in the "International" section. Will do my best. Going to see the Wizard of Oz here at the Adelaide Festival Thetre in just under 3 weeks time (my first musical for 30 years - so I’m a bit out of the loop theatre wise).

Newbie from Adelaide, Australia. I ❤️ cats. (The pets, not the show!) If it was up to me I’d have a cat video section on here but that monkey won’t let me do it (he doesn’t like sharing the limelight). So I’ll make do with that beautiful avatar (ginger cats are extra special).

I'm from Russia. I live 25 kilometres outside Moscow and work in our capital, which means 4 hours of daily commuting.
My travel to London takes about 11-14 hours (and all of my money!), I do visit about 5 times a year and stay for about a week. Last time I managed to see about 70 shows in London, also there were some travelling around the UK and even a one-day visit to Dublin. This year I had a long stopover in Paris on my way to London so caught Priscilla in there already, but I try and spend as much time in the UK as my budget and leave dates allow.

Slightly off the topic of this thread but I don’t like cats- the animal. I subscribe to the theory that in this world you fall into one on three camps; you’re a cat person and don’t like dogs, you’re a dog person and don’t like cats or you’re a bit we partial to both cats and dogs. Personally, I fall into the second category which I feel is somewhat ironic as cat forms the last half of my surname.

If I had to choose between dogs and cats, I would choose dogs, as they are much easier to befriend quickly. However the problem with dogs is that if you want to befriend one, you usually have to speak to the owner, whereas cats can often be befriended just roaming loose in the street, so people tend to think I'm a cat person. I do fall squarely into the third camp of being partial to both, though it's by no means any sort of compromise option, as I am enthusiastically fond of both.

A bit late to this thread but I grew up in Ayrshire, in the West of Scotland, but have lived in London for 30 years now - Stratford E15, then Ealing briefly, and Islington for the last 20 years or so.

Either that or I need a 5th category where you like both animals seen at a distance/in cute photos but don't want to have to touch them or have them jump up & slobber on you (mostly a dog problem).

Such a relief to have someone say this. I actually have a fear of both. I had to stop jogging when dogs off the leash would nip at my ankles while their owners looked on, smiling like proud parents thinking that I was playing with their pet while in truth I was running for my life.

Another Londoner here. Used to see loads of things, had a few years hiatus for various boring reasons, and am just getting back into the swing of seeing regular theatre again!

I had to stop jogging when dogs off the leash would nip at my ankles while their owners looked on, smiling like proud parents thinking that I was playing with their pet while in truth I was running for my life. I totally sympathise. I often used to go for walks on a hill near us but haven't been for a while because I just got too nervous of being jumped on by dogs. I'd be trying not to have a panic attack while a dog (frequently Labradors) jumped up at me then the owner would finally turn up and say "Don't worry. He won't bite you.". That's not the point. I have bad OCD & having muddy paw prints & dog slobber on me makes me extremely stressed. I don't think some dog owners realise how intimidating large, badly-behaved dogs can be.
