This evening's PR team and the circle will be informed. Thankfully the (appalled) reviewer to my other side was kind enough to switch for the second act.

She felt compelled to make an exception tonight, asking if lever think I should book two seats. l asked why and she clarified it would be git my, "excess width."
I pointed out how rude this was and was met with a snarky, "yes, but true.
So tonight | was sat next to another reviewer, a member of the critics' circle, who despite having met me and proving on multiple occasions she knows my name, generally doesn't acknowledge me.

I'm so glad people are doing these honestly, not to put negativity out there but to openly address the issues found with the work

While it's always a pleasure to see Sondheim's rarer works produced, this revival of 'Road Show' at Upstairs at the Gatehouse's strong ensemble and firm direction can't counter the show's deep-rooted issues.

As stunningly sung as it is spectacularly staged, 'La bohème' at Royal Ballet and Opera is an extraordinary revival of this most beautiful and enduring of tragedies.

Chu: I want you for the role.
Yeoh: I can't sing.
Chu: Doesn't matter, I want you anyway and you can just speak the lines.
Audience: Why did she take the part if she can't sing?
Because the handful of lines Morrible sings in the whole score suddenly matter??
Loyalties of sports teams and long-time friendships are tested in 'King James', a solid production from Hampstead Theatre bolstered by strong acting and nuanced design.

It’s a no from me.
That word already means something pretty darn specific.
I don’t want to skeet here, publicly.

A drawing of an older lady with two strands of pearls and wild, untamed hair. Text on the canvas reads, "give your anxiety a silly name. Mine is called Blanche. This is Blanche."
This seems like a good way to relaunch myself.
Artist is Robbie Williams, yes that one.
