Did you notice how much Kevin goes on about Wicked?!
Like every other episode it's mentioned he went.
Oh, I think season 2...or 3? I don't remember which is the latest, but there's a hot new gay guy who I rather like =)

Going back to the topic of conversation that is relevant to my interests, I think...
Fortune
I just want make sure The Woman in Black runs forever. And if someone ever invents TARDIS technology, I'll be first in line for it so I can improve the ladies' toilets. XD
New London
Basically, I'd make sure it's empty and suitably priced for any and every RSC production that wants to come into town. It's sadly not as awesome as the Roundhouse was when they did it up for the Histories, but it is at least a little more forgiving than the Novello's strict proscenium. Although now that War Horse is going in, I might have to get another theatre on the side for the RSC until London decides it has had its fill of horse puppets.
Gielgud
It's not that I don't love Bill Bailey or G&S, but I'd want to protect this lovely theatre from having to do anything that isn't an awesome play. I'm sure a similar arrangement must be in place right now, but I would quietly let Rupert Goold know that I can have it available for anything he wants to do in there.
I think I have more opinions about productions than theatres themselves. I'd like new musicals to do better. I'd like new writers to get more chances. I'd like to see the occasional musical at the National! I've been an obsessive theatre-goer for nearly three years now, and there's only been one musical at the National in all that time. PIAZZA, DAMNIT!

Well, it's time for the question poser to answer...
ADELPHI
For some reason I like this little venue, but it needs a lot of love. For my opening production? The long-overdue West End premiere of DREAMGIRLS. I'd also stick big plays in here like AUGUST.
NEW LONDON
I adore this theatre, but like everybody else I hate the front of house area. Rework that into something that allows for better crowd flow and be set. First production? RAGTIME. And yes, I'd allow plays in there as well - but not the RSC.
DUCHESS/TRAFALGAR 1
These would be my venues for new musical writing (seeing a theme?) and extended runs of successful Fringe and Off-Broadway shows - stuff like Betwixt, Spelling Bee, Next to Normal, [title of show], Evil Dead, etc.
NOT-SO-WEST-END: O2 CENTRE
Only about half of the O2 is currently in use. I'd take a chunk of it to use for custom-build spectacle-heavy works like STARLIGHT EXPRESS, TIME, CIRQUE, etc.
Yes, I'm a commercially driven bastard.
And Weez, make sure someone fixes up the Gents as well in the Fortune when you get your TARDIS.

The Friday night threads were started just general chit chat about any topic!

Posted: 1/9/09 at 2:48pm
I thought we started them out with a discussion question to get the ball rolling, then fell into disarray and off-topicness with merry abandon. It doesn't really matter; either way, they're just meant to be a bit of weekend fun where we go as on- or off-topic as we want, surely. :)

With all the photos on this thread I'm happy to fall into disarray - particularly as I'm still at work doing budgets: Brothers and Sisters looks verrrry interesting.

I thought the friday night threads were just about General chit chat to?, theatre talk is also fine though of course
Why do i get the feeling Weez would turn every theatre in to a house for RSC productions lolol
And on the Brothers and Sisters thing, i just dont get it, and im a whore for US tv shows
Im watching (for the 1st time) the West Wing, is this the greatest TV show ever made, with the best writing and some superb acting.
Also still loving my Housewives, Ugly Betty, 90210, Sons Of Anarchy and very excited for the new season of 24

Well, they are general chitchat. We've just previously found it a little on the handy side to set a discussion topic so we have something to deviate *from*. 
Because you don't read every post in its entirety? I did only mention one, and they come into town nearly every season anyway. What's wrong with wishful-thinking that they'd get one of the less unsuitable houses? :P
I'm glad Ugly Betty has restarted after the holiday break. Can't wait for Battlestar Galactica and Fringe to come back, but I don't know if I'll be going back to Heroes. Hmmm...

I'M HOME 
so i've got a lot of catching up to do..but basically, i thought i was the only one who watched Brothers and Sisters!! I watched it when it was first on Channel 4, then watched all of Series 2, and now Series 3 started on Thursday! I really have a soft spot for Kevin, i think he's adorable. And Justin can join in to.
On the Chorus Line side of things: I'm now not playing Mr Ghonerea (Mark) and am now playing Mr Erection (Greg). We learnt all of I Hope I Get It, including opening section, 2 ballet combinations, a jazz combination and a modern section. And started to learn Montage 1-4 singing wise :) its all going swimmingly. And we even had time to give ourselves nicknames, as to our storys; Miss Tits and Ass, Miss Old Bitch, Mr Husband and Miss Wife...the list goes on :)
btw did anyone watch Brothers and Sisters Ep 1 on thursday?

Now, I can't POSSIBLY imagine what might've given you THAT idea!
I'm going to miss it so. ;_; I'm going to miss it so much I might go see A Midsummer Night's Dream, and I haaaaate A Midsummer Night's Dream. ;_;
How many are yours this week? You're not old enough for 42, are you?

Bless Weez! Are they planning a DVD of it?
I can't think of too much interesting for this week's lil challenge. At least, the first three that came to mind were the Palace so I could move Les Mis back, Drury Lane for LOTR and possibly the Dominion for Time (but I also love WWRY...difficult!) All rather boring, predictable and mildly cheesy choices. I think I'd go for Ragtime as another show, but I've been thinking through what sort of theatre my vision for it would suit and coming up with nowt. I'd also quite like to have the Barbican, I really like it as a whole for some reason and saw myself doing crazy site specific stuff there.

So what made them think you were right for Mr Gonorrhoeae then?

At that point, i was the youngest in the cast. Then they bought someone else in who looks younger but isn't much younger, so it would've looked wrong..hell i don't mind..singing about erections is just as fun :)

Excellent. We can cast you as Chip if there's ever a UK production of Spelling Bee.
