List all of the colours in order My single stage performance (that I remember) was as Dan in Joseph at school - and after "Red and Yellow...." I just mumbled!

Watch Bradley Walsh in Law and Order UK - hard to believe it is the same chap from the comedy and quiz shows. He can certainly cast off his usual TV persona if he needs to

Hedwig and the Angry Itch I recall misreading and thinking that was its name when I first heard about it! "We Will Rack You" - preferable to actually sitting through the real musical again

The Mentor wasn't in the main house at Bath, it was in the much smaller Ustinov Studio - it holds around 150 people. To transfer to a much bigger theatre in London does seem a very odd decision

just telling me open booking will start on 30th Sept (useful for no one...) Grasping at straws I know - but might that suggest a second run that will go on sale then?

I have had an email regarding Hamlet today - but it is inviting me to buy tickets to the Brandreth family one at the Park Theatre
Nothing at all from RADA - although my wife has had an "unsuccessful" one. Is the lack of any email grounds for hope, I wonder?
Edit - Hotmail received. Nope.

We saw it last week - it is a real treat, catching the spirit and the look of the movie, but adding a lot of very inventive and downright hilarious touches. I really can't believe it won't have a life beyond Bath

Indeed no London transfer is currently showing, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening, or won't; hence some of us wishing to know. I did see that DH was shown as starring but it really wasn't clear - to me, at least - whether that was just info from the original production and so far as I could see, this isn't covered in the individual venue details. Here's hoping... I took the mention of DH starring to confirm that he is in the new tour - but I see your point, it may be a hangover from the original production. Regardless, hope you get the chance to see it, it was outstanding in Chichester a few years ago

A click on the link confirms that David Haig is indeed starring, and the website also lists the tour dates. No London dates listed

Anyone else having problems booking? I have two tickets in my basket - and everytime I try to complete the purchase, I'm getting an message saying there is a problem connecting with the ticketing system.

I've been waiting for someone to wholeheartedly love this production - but I think I'm waiting in vain. What a shame - but at least tickets can be returned for a credit

We saw this yesterday afternoon - in a baking hot Arcola, around two thirds full. It does deserve a much larger audience, and it is such a shame so many theatregoers either don't know about, or won't travel to the theatre. At the end, Greg Hicks looked like he might have injured himself - such were his exertions in the final battle scenes. An astonishing performance.

It's worth seeing for FMA, and is a very enjoyable way to spend 80 minutes. The play itself is a little unsubstantial, being primarily about the relationship between a writer with his reputation resting on a play he wrote many decades before, and a new, up and coming writer.
In Bath it was in the Ustinov Studio which is a tiny venue.

I assumed Monkey's winky face was his way of saying he's fully aware such shows exist, like Phantom of the Opera or Richard III... Well, I feel very foolish now....

^I think it was the subject matter and mediocre reviews that really did for it, HG. I mean, name me a single show - musical or play - about a physically deformed person, that has become a total box office smash hit... The Elephant Man (although Bradley Cooper might have had something to do with that)

Is it unallocated seating? If so, any recommendations on where to sit? Thanks

For those who had tickets for Death of a Salesman, Nicholas Woodeson has stepped in to play Willy Loman
