Treasure Island - 10 December 2008
Many thanks to those of you who joined us for last night’s trip to Treasure Island, starring Keith Allen at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket. And especially thanks to those of you who dressed up - there were some great costumes on display, and many of you wouldn’t have looked out of place on the stage! Over 100 were in attendance last night, most of whom stayed behind for our post-show cast reception in the Haymarket’s stylish champagne bar (see photos above).
Last night was actually our last Whatsonstage.com Outing until after Christmas, but we have some great trips lined up early in the new year, including Twelfth Night at the Wyndham’s, A Little Night Music at the Chocolate Factory and Well at the Apollo (which includes an exclusive 20-minute monologue by Sarah Miles). Click here for further details on all our upcoming Outings.
So, have a wonderful (and restful) festive season in the meantime, see you in 2009!

I would just like to thank WOS for a great evening. After reading a couple of not-so-favourable reviews for Treasure Island prior to going, I must admit I was not expecting much. However I was very pleasantly surprised. It was a captivating show from the start and both my young daughters loved it. They preferred this production to our usual Barbican or Richmond Theatre Panto trips, and what with studying pirate stories as part of the key stage 2 curriculum this year, they were inspired to create their own scary tales. The icing was of course being persuaded to remain after the show to enjoy a drink in the bar with WOS members, who reminded me that the cast would probably turn up to meet and chat with us. They did. My daughters now have lots of photos and a free programme signed by almost all the cast - including the star - and he was - Keith Allen.
Thank you for our first wonderful WOS theatre visit - we shall return.
