So the new Olympia Theatre is called "The British Airways Theatre." Will shows start hours late for 'technical reasons'? Will we pay extra to choose a seat number on the aisle? Will it be 20% overbooked so you must see a later show? Customer service unreachable?

Never funny to joke about people in the "cheap seats." They are normally the ones who find it hardest to afford tickets and make the most effort to get to a special show. Tom Price, Magic Radio, that wasn't kind yesterday.

The @thepublandlord is right - take your glasses back to the bar, not leave under seat in front. It stops that seat flipping up, making it hard for people in the row in front to leave. Twerps in C1 & 2 last night who bolted for the exit. Still, karma - you missed a fun encore.

One of those odd West End coincidences. Realised this week I visited all 3 theatres on the Strand - Adelphi, Savoy and Vaudeville for shows in the same week. Funny how things work out.

THE HUNGER GAMES: Troubadour Theatre Canary Wharf. Have to agree with news reports. 1000 exiting at the end down 1 staircase does not feel safe. Nor does 500 passing along a 1m wide corridor. And not sure the District 2 original exit was secured either - meaning a drop if anyone goes that way.
