Or more realistically, Q-U-E-U-E-F-O-R-T-H-E-L-O-O... Yes, that too. There was even a queue for the gents last night at the Apollo Victoria!

At Book of Mormon just now:
Woman: “So, what’s it about?” Other Woman: “Mormons.” Well thank you very much for that enlightening explanation.
Also I’m worried the person behind is in for a bit of a shock if she’s come into this completely blind 😬

“I’m going to take a picture of the toilets, cos they are so great”.
Anyone want to guess which London theatre this was said at?
I’ll post the answer after the show tonight.

“It’s a shame they didn’t get this Panto at Christmas though”
Lady behind me at Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella...I mean I appreciate making that mistake in just seeing a poster perhaps, but to make it all the way to your seat...
....oh yes they were also in the wrong seats. After much fuss this was established.

Sorry no. The answer is The Barbican.

What? Have they done a major refurb ? Nothing special about the Barbican loos, surely?

I thought they had been given new urinals and tiling in the gents? Certainly stank a lot less last time I went than before - and I do remember the time before that signs explaining they were being done up.* *There may also have been signs up "Wet Paint (this is not an instruction)," but I digress. I think we need some sort of automatic reply system on this board that posts a reply saying "Filth!" after all of @theatremonkey 's posts!

Sunset Boulevard last year, set of regular theatre goes talking about all the different productions of the show they've seen.
One had been to a previous production with the band on stage (may have been actor-musician), sat in the front row. The actor playing Joe Gillis was off, the replacement was older and had lost his hair, the fan couldn't get into the show like that and promptly fell asleep for half an hour in full view of the cast.

The baby in The Ferryman was very cute yesterday afternoon- grinning at the audience, playing with its foot when lying on the floor, very active. After its third appearance, with lots of cooing noises from the mainly elderly matinee audience, a voice in the third row asked "Do you think that's a real baby?"

I've just remembered this thread!
The award for Greatest Deduction goes to the lady who wondered, "if the right stalls are here, and the left stalls are over there, then the centre stalls must be in the middle ...."

My absolute favourite (so far) was at Don Juan in Soho... little Australian lady who looked like a librarian, talking to someone she'd cornered at the interval: "Yes isn't it good! I've seen it three times, I've got another 8 times."
!!!
I mean, I enjoyed the show, but once was enough.

During the interval, the woman behind me turns to her friend and says, 'I wonder how he learns all those lines. There's just so many!' The friend, completely dead-pan just says 'Well, he /is/ an actor.'

I'm not little, and I don't *think* I look like a librarian. (I'm not commenting on the number of times I saw the show.)

'Mega-fans' at Hamilton broadcasting their (apparent) all encompassing LMM knowledge pre-show a few weeks back: "Well he wrote and was in 'In The Heights' too but it only played off-broadway so no-one got to see it here".... urrmmmm open your programme and you'll see some of the Ham cast, including some principals, were in the London production a couple of years ago. Ejit.
Whilst someone else wildly over-exaggerates trying impress their friend with Hamilton 'trivia'... "They had to delay the opening because... *forgets why*... so there were like fights, over tickets, because they didn't open on time, people were fighting because their tickets had to be cancelled". Blatantly not true. Needless to say the friend remained nonchalant.

A few years ago I took a friend to see Northern Ballets Dracula at Bradford where my brother was conducting.
At the interval my friend stood up and in a loud voice said “I had no idea Dracula was a vampire.”

At Stewart Lee's recent show at the Southbank Centre, somebody had the audacity to heckle him to 'hurry up', Now being that Stewart Lee is know for his laconic, self referential style, deconstructing his own routines, this did not go well. In fact, Stew went into the audience and sought out the punter, ironically extending the bit by a good ten minutes or so.

Other night at Translations at The Nash:
(Person 1 is scanning the cast list in the programme)
Person 2: So who's in it?
Person 1. Umm... no one.
Obviously if they ain't been in Eastenders they ain't no one.
