Well, well well. What an action-packed evening at the Apollo theatre last night as over 70 Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers attended our Outing to Lisa Kron’s Well. It was followed by a Q&A with the whole cast - Sarah Miles, Natalie Casey, Oliver Chris, Jason Rowe, Maggie Service, Zara Tempest-Walters and director Eve Leigh. (more…)

What a fantastic way to start the new year! On Tuesday 6 January (twelfth night itself no less), Whatsonstage.com was joined by a whopping 250 Theatregoers for our three-times sold out Outing to Twelfth Night at the Wyndham’s Theatre, followed by a fantastic Q&A session with director Michael Grandage and cast members Victoria Hamilton, Derek Jacobi, Samantha Spiro, Alex Waldmann, Indira Varma, Zubin Varla, Ron Cook and Guy Henry.
Edited highlights of the Q&A will appear in the news section of the site shortly, and are well worth a read as all our participants were happy and willing to chat about topics as far ranging as tackling the great bard, working with the fabulous Michael Grandage, and individual future plans. Derek Jacobi even revealed that he feels he might be around the right age to try to take on the role of King Lear. (more…)

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!

Despite all kinds of transport problems and closures, last night’s Outing to In a Dark Dark House at the Almeida Theatre was a great success, with everyone on our sell-out Outing enjoying a top-price seat and a free drink at our post show reception.
Contoroversial but highly celebrated playwright Neil LaBute has enjoyed success recently with his play Fat Pig, which is currently appearing at the Comedy Theatre in London’s West End. This explosive new drama, directed by Michael Attenborough, stars David Morrissey and Steven Mackintosh as two brothers who have never seen eye to eye, but who suddenly find that in order to have a future, they must first take up their past. Whatsonstage.com were happy to take 100 Theatregoers to the European premiere of this dark and emotional play. (more…)

Theatregoers on our Whatsonstage.com Outing to see Hollywood heartthrob Josh Hartnett make his West End début opposite Olivier-nominated British actor Adam Godley at the Apollo Theatre in London’s West End last night were in for a real treat.
Not only were they seated in top price seats, they were also given a free programme and show poster on arrival at the theatre and were invited to stay on after the show for an exclusive Question and Answer session for which we were very excited to be joined by the full cast, including Josh Hartnett, Adam Godley, Mary Stockley, Tilly Blackwood and Charles Daish.

80 of our theatregoers enjoyed a fantastic outing to the Vaudeville theatre last nigtht (6 November 2008) to see the Donmar production of Pam Gems’ Piaf in its West End incarnation.
The show, which has been widely heralded by critics and audiences alike, did not disappoint, with leading lady Elena Roger’s rousing finale rendition of “Je ne Regrette Rien” bringing many to their feet.
After the show, our theatregoers headed en masse to the Vaudeville’s ornate circle bar, where cast members including Elena Roger, Shane Attwooll, Taylor James, Luke Evans, Katherine Kingsley and Phillip Browne were on hand to meet our members and chat about the show. Roger admitted to being “shattered” (she only had a week off between the Donmar and West End productions), but thoroughly enjoying her time in the role.
All members taking part in the post-show event were able to take advantage of a free drink voucher, and we were all hugely appreciative of the time given by the cast to share their insights on the production. A huge thankyou to all involved!
Please feel free to email your comments and thoughts about the show and the evening through to feedback@whatsonstage.com, or why not contribute your own review of Piaf?
Also, don’t forget to check the homepage for details of upcoming Outings and events.
See you next time!

250 Theatregoers joined us for this sell out event to see Kenneth Branagh in Chekhov’s Ivanov at the Wyndham’s Theatre as part of the Donmar’s West End Season, which will also feature Judi Dench in Yukio Mishima’s Madame de Sade, Jude Law in Hamlet, and a production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night starring Derek Jacobi. We will be hosting an Outing to Twelfth Night on 6 January which is currently booking very fast so to secure your tickets, click here.
Our Theatergoers were all treated to a free programme when they arrived, which was a good job, as we had a fantastic cast turn out for our post-show Q&A, including, Linda Broughton, Tom Hiddleston, Sylvestra Le Touzel, Lucy Briers and Whatsonstage.com Outing veterans Malcolm Sinclair, Andrea Riseborough and Gina McKee. As a last minute surprise we were also thrilled to be joined by the Donmar’s artistic director and director of this production, Michael Grandage. They were all happy to talk about what life as part of the Donmar team is like, their feelings about West End seat prices, and their involvement with this production. We also had some excellent questions from the audience and would like to thank all those who contributed. (more…)

Our Whatsonstage.com Outing to Table Manners at the Old Vic last night (1 October) was a sell-out success, with 160 Theatregoers attending the event.
Table Manners is part of Alan Ayckbourn’s comic masterpiece The Norman Conquests, a set of three plays all set in the same house over the same weekend. This is the first time that the plays have been on the London stage in 34 years, and The Old Vic has been transformed to accommodate them. Our Theatregoer’s were able to enjoy the impressive in-the-round seating, which caused some confusion when attempting to find seats, but was greatly appreciated by all of our guests. It also meant that The Old Vic has a new temporary bar underneath the stalls, giving our Theatregoers all the more opportunity to use their free drink voucher during the interval. (more…)

Our much-anticipated Outing to Now or Later at the Royal Court last night (25 September) more than lived up to expectations, with principal company members Eddie Redmayne, Matthew Marsh, Pamela Nomvete and director Dominic Cooke taking part in a lively post-show Q&A session.
Running at a brisk 80 minutes with no interval, Now or Later is a tense and timely US election drama, set on results night in the hotel room of the Democratic candidate’s son (Eddie Redmayne). With compromising photos spreading like wildfire on the web, the President-in-waiting (Matthew Marsh) must try and persuade his stubborn and highly-intelligent offspring to release a statement of apology.

It was flags and clackers a-go-go last night (08 September) at our much-anticipated Outing to spoof Eurovision musical Eurobeat at the Novello theatre.
Sticking closely to the format of the annual show, Eurobeat has enough cheesey songs, bad jokes, dodgy accents and even dodgier wigs to sate the hunger of even the most avid Eurovision fan. And to add to the fun our first 25 bookers collected a free ‘party pack’ - replete with horn, clacker and flag of their choice (Greece proved strangely popular!). The show was a predictably noisy affair, and when the text votes had been counted, the spandex-clad Russian boyband emerged victorious. (more…)
