These days, I'm a UX/UI Designer. I am extremely impressed at how simple and easy to use Mezzanine is. What a great app. Ben, you found a need and designed / developed a wonderful user experience. Thank you.

Thanks, that’s very kind. I spend a lot of time fussing over the UI without much experience in that area, so it’s lovey to get that feedback.

Downloaded the app last night and immediately got cooking. Wow, what a beautifully organized, easy-to-use app for any theatre lover! The free, digital Playbill binder that all of us nerds deserve.

Now if only someone could change my mind and convince me to see live shows when they return...

Really love this app!

Is it possible to add a function where users can upload pictures or posters for a product that is not in the system / that they have manually added? Can I use it with Whatsapp GB?

Yes - when you are adding or editing a diary entry you can tap the small program image next to the show/theater/city fields to change the image to one of your own. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for the response. I had the same question and it really helps. You are awesome.

Hi again everyone. I hope you are all enjoying the re-emergence of live theater. I caught the re-opening nights of JLP and Phantom last week and they were truly special theater memories.

Anyway, speaking of special memories... my theater diary app Mezzanine is about to launch a major update and, just like 18 months ago, I could use some help testing it. If you are a Mezzanine user, or are interested in becoming one, here's the link for the latest beta. If you are less adventurous but interested in the app, there is also the App Store version.

This version brings some social features to the app for the first time, including the ability to read your friends' theater reviews.

On a different and slightly more needy note, if you or anyone you know is involved with theater media in any way, I would love to get the word out to a wider audience. I can provide early access, some copy, screenshots, an interview, etc to anyone who might be interested in writing, vlogging, podcasting, or telling their mom about Mezzanine. You can message me on here or find my contact info in the footer at www.theaterdiary.com.

Thanks again to everyone here who has helped make Mezzanine what it is today. Excited to start this next chapter for the app.

Is the update going to include a launch in the Play Store?

Still no immediate plans for an Android app unfortunately. Sorry about that.

How far back have people gone in the productions they’ve put down? I’m not sure if I should start with theatre reopening or before the lockdown…?

Well some people have gone back decades, others are starting from now... so it's up to you! I will say that one good reason to add your full history is that the Stats tab under your profile will show you some cool charts and maps based on the shows you've seen over the years. It can be a bit overwhelming though, so maybe start with post-reopening at first, and see if you like it enough to invest the time?
