Well, good on him! A jobbing actor who has created quite a bit of unusual publicity for himself. I hope things work out for him now that he's dropped the mask. Keep your eyes peeled for panto season... the mask may yet return...

When I saw the picture of the mask, I presumed West End Producer was Tom Cruise!
(Ok - now who are
West End Wilma and the Box Office Manager confessor)

I think West End Wilma is widely known - a man who writes under his mother's name is it not? Both have been easily identified online on social media so it isn't a secret.

What happened to West End Whingers? I've not heard from them in a long time. Loved their reviews and their ratings were the "Strallomitor"

What happened to West End Whingers? Pointless anecdote alert: At a drinks reception after the Old Vic's 24 Hour Plays some years ago, my husband and I were standing on a slightly raised area trying to spot Kevin Spacey. A woman came up to us and asked if we were the West End Whingers. (We weren't)

Loved their reviews and their ratings were the "Strallomitor" They, and latterly he, have a talent for extremely amusing and creative reviews. I enjoyed them but I haven't quite forgiven them for one of my most miserable nights in a theatre after persuading me that Hamilton might be worth seeing after all.

Has anyone seen West End Producer in the flesh, as it were?
I have once. It's pretty obvious that whoever it is, they're wearing a mask!

It was left with Phil doing it all, and they both have very good jobs. I think it just fizzled out. I hope they are both in good health.

I went to a Q&A with him at the original theatre cafe back around 2017. I can’t really remember what the event was for…whether it was a launch for his second book or not… anyway It was fun though very poorly attended unfortunately. My friend and I got to meet him, shake hands, ask some questions. He was affable.

I really enjoyed the two books he published - now I wonder if he wrote them himself or had a ghostwriter. Not sure if there's much money in this kind of niche books, but if he wrote them himself, he could do more along those lines. Can definitely see a book coming up about his experiences in the mask.

Great find BB, the chap must have sweated in that mask if he sat through shows in it.

I love how the voice changes to “luvvie” as soon as the mask goes on.
