Alan did a very good VANYA himself at @Hamps_Theatre recently! (Unfortunately, his Sonia was the director's daughter....)

Great work in @LastShipOnStage from @oliversavile, replacing @RFleeshman from original UK tour, as Gideon (front row centre) & utterly extraordinary @FrancesMcNamee1 returning as Meg, amongst stunning ensemble cast also featuring Jackie Morrison, @iamsophiereid & @Childsplay56. pic.twitter.com/Z5EnPwIOAY

Really wonderful to see @OfficialSting in his element playing shipyard foreman Jackie White in @LastShipOnStage — and a treat to meet him again after the show, too (I previously interviewed him in his NYC apartment in 2015!) pic.twitter.com/Y3ZAsZvM6w

Just @LastShipOnStage again in Toronto — and while the extraordinary folk rock score of @OfficialSting remains in all its considerable glory, the story now makes more dramatic sense than ever before in @LorneCampbellNS’s version originally seen at @northernstage. A triumph! pic.twitter.com/Yjpxa5dshS

Ok, this is ONLY an interval tweet — but I *have* seen @LastShipOnStage multiple times before, from the original Broadway version to @OfficialSting singing the score himself at @Sage_Gateshead and on tour at @RoyalDerngate, but I’ve never found it so affecting as now in Toronto! pic.twitter.com/PQgWEHNSYR

Am now at the Princess of Wales Theatre @Mirvish to see @LastShipOnStage — the reason I’ve come to Toronto! The last time I saw this production I only had to get to Northampton’s @RoyalDerngate! (But it didn’t have @OfficialSting in it then — or @oliversavile and @Childsplay56!) pic.twitter.com/j43OTFNv35

Update on my Toronto travels/travails: after posting here of my disastrous hotel booking, @Expedia have contacted me and refunded the cost of the stay that I DIDN’T have here — thank God. (A visual reminder: what’s on their site, left; what it ACTUALLY looks like, right) pic.twitter.com/oesWjHT12v

Have had a strange Toronto adventure (which could have been a misadventure....) Since I’m only here for one night I booked a cheap ‘n’ hopefully cheerful place via @Expedia that looked pretty okay (see left) What it actually resembled was a drug house from Breaking Bad (right) pic.twitter.com/vEDn0HT0Th

Wrong twitter handle but at least the right playwright with the right play!

A new production of Frayn’s NOISES OFF to be directed by @JerHerrin at @LyricHammer from June 27, opens July 2, to run to July 27. This is one of the outright funniest plays ever written — returning to the very theatre where it received its world premiere in 1982. pic.twitter.com/Xmh5FJnSoT

Just arrived in Toronto to revisit one on my favourite musicals scored by a pop writer: @OfficialSting THE LAST SHIP, in the recent UK touring version, but now starring Sting himself (as he did when he took over in the show on Broadway). Also features @oliversavile! pic.twitter.com/KbcZqYf8Gz

One of last year’s biggest musical successes — the fan-favourite @HeathersMusical — lives on now in an original cast recording. twitter.com/heathersmusica…
