I used to post mine over at the old place too.
I was at 1 (twice), 5, 8, 10 and 14 (different venue; may go again next week). Sounds like Lucy is a good person to know!

Yes, saw the new one (in London) last week. It was great (may go again, but it’s only around until Dec 18). Enjoying the burst of Sondheim love it’s caused on here! But I meant the older film of the 2013 London show. There’s a YT link in a post I replied to last week.
