TheatreBoard! TheatreBoard! How to win an Olivier Award? Who’s in the cast? Who will direct? No, not them... I have to object! Is there a dog? What height is the stage? Dayseats? No! That fills me with rage! I loved the cast You really should go But oh my word Bad behaviour at a show! Some sang along Some played with their phone Some kept quiet Not Patti LuPone! Do I make the team? |

On my goodness! pianowithsam this is brilliant and has genuinely made my day 😊 Thank you so much for turning my post into something far more fabulous! I presume “WhatsOnStage tonight” is a reference to our ancient heritage? Lovely stuff. |

NO ONE is playing me without me seeing them audition first!
And I don’t want see an exaggerated Aussie accent either, because I don’t have one.

Auditions? That's classing it up a bit, isn't it?

pianowithsam that was awesome.
I want Ian McKellen to play me, but I'll probably get Russell Grant.

There's a Board for us
Somewhere a Board for us
Peace and quiet and Burly Bear*
Wait for us somewhere.
There's a thread for us
Some day a thread for us
Mornington Crescent or How Was Your Day
Pantos or Shakespeare or Come From Away
Some day
Somewhere
We'll find a new way of writing
A way without all the in-fighting
Somewhere
There's a play for us
Somewhere a show for us
Inside a theatre where we all care
Enough to come and share
Somehow
Some day
Somewhere!
*Yes, yes. I do realise that peace and quiet and Burly is an oxymoron but, well, it rhymed, so...

We may be the first theatre discussion board in history to have its own theme song! Amazing pianowithsam , thanks . No worries, haha. I'm sure I'll be able to turn it into a full track when I get some time. |

We're nothing special in fact we're a bit of a bore
If we tell a joke we've probably told it before*
But we have a talent, a wonderful boast
'Cos everyone listens when we start to post
We're so grateful and proud
To be so verbally well, ahem, endowed
So I say
Thank you for the forum
The posts we're writing
Thanks for all the fun play fighting
Who could live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a quip or a whip** who are we?
So I say thank you for the forum
For giving it to me
Mother says we were showoffs before we could walk
She said we could sing long before we could talk
But I've often wondered how did it all start?
Who found a forum could capture a heart
Like Theatreboard can?
Well, whoever it was I'm a fan
So I say
Thank you for the posters
The threads they're scribbling
Thanks for all the pics that get us dribbling
Who could live without it?
I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a Pole or a dark who are we?
So I say thank you for the forum
For giving it to me
We've been so lucky
We are the board with the golden (oldie😜) mods
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a group! what charisma! what..um.. bods!
So I say
Thank you for the modsters
Their red inked postings
Thanks for all
Their good natured roastings
Who could live without them?
I ask in all honesty
Where would we be?
Without their tons of crappy puns
Who are we?
So I say thank you for the modsters
For giving them to me

Well aren't you a clever bunch. I particularly like it when I can identify the tune I should be singing to, I realise my musical knowledge in pretty poor.
Can I be one of the stage crew who walk around with a headset on? I quite fancy that. I bring no skills to that role but can provide my own black clothing.

Tibidabo, by any measure, this is a class lyric....
Mornington Crescent or How Was Your Day
Pantos or Shakespeare or Come From Away.

Being in a country far,far away I think my character should just be a big floating holographic head like Olivier in Time.

Makes Sir Timothy's pyjamas line look mere schoolboyish eh? Oh hang on.... I do hope everyone's singing along to the correct tunes on this thread - otherwise they all get a bit lost in translation. |

I'm hoping a PG Chimp comes out of retirement. Failing that, Johnny Vegas is always looking for work so he could take the role as next best thing.. |
