Tonight at Tammy Faye, Jake Shears had Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos with him. I would imagine Kelly and Mark would be able to sit there without being recognised by the majority of the audience. Gosh, Tammy Faye is a real celeb magnet although I only just realised that David Haig was probably there yesterday as his son Fred is in the cast.

Yep, didn't see them getting bothered in the auditorium at all. There were a few of people looking over at them before the show began but they could have been just looking at Jake Shears instead. I imagine Mark Conseulos would probably get recognised more by the Heathers crowd who are probably Riverdale fans.

Oh ok I'm jealous, Mark Conseulos is super hot. Had a thing for him for years.
They are good friends with Jake so not a surprise

Sat next to Daniel Dae Kim at Merrily last week. Maria Friedman came and greeted him before the show. Sonia Friedman was also there.

For the old-timers ..
Wayne Sleep at Swan Lake on Wed, looking pretty fabulous given I thought he was dead; cackling away, gossiping, enjoying a glass or two. Very nice to see.
David Mellor sitting directly in my line of sight in the bowels of the ROH last night for Least Like The Other, Searching for Rosemary Kennedy.
I did think that, if you meld them together, you get Lester Piggott.

The idea of "melding" Wayne Sleep and David Mellor has put a very unpleasant image in my mind. Is a Chelsea shirt involved?

Matthew Needham (Larys Strong from House of the Dragon) at Streetcar (I think...) and Rebecca Trehearn at One Woman Show (also I think...)

I knew Sleep's ballet career had been limited by his lack of height but I hadn't realised until I walked past him on Wednesday just how short he is.

If there wasn’t another suitable seat I’d have to leave.

theglenbucklaird yes, it was. Likely to be my most expensive ticket of the year but truly marvellous. One to be remembered Mellor and I both left during the curtain call, me a couple of minutes after he did. I passed him on the top stairs. Slow, hunched, not looking after himself. He's a year younger than Wayne Sleep but could be 15 years older.

Caryl Churchill sat next to us at Orlando this afternoon. Did one exchange pleasantries? Sadly not. Had there been an interval, we might have had the opportunity to instigate a natter.

He's a year younger than Wayne Sleep but could be 15 years older. I've outed him on these pages before for being "too posh to 'plaud'. Apparently his chauffeur hates to wait and he has to get all the way back to Wapping. Low life.

Sunday Tannhauser revival at ROH. As I walked in I saw a familiar smiling face and started to walk over to say hello. Only stopped when I realised it was the Rev Richard Coles.
The odd thing is after 4 decades of attendance, I can only recall that experience once before. At the last revival Jools Holland very nearly got the chance to return my greeting.

Sunday Tannhauser revival at ROH. As I walked in ... So pleased someone else here has seen Tannhauser. Went last week and I thought it was towering, just immense. I've never been properly comfortable with Wagner but I went through the portal this time. Can't wait for the next experience. Casting was Davidsen / Vinke / Gubanova.

I've never been properly comfortable with Wagner but I went through the portal this time. Can't wait for the next experience. Casting was Davidsen / Vinke / Gubanova. The overture is the only piece of music I recall my Dad playing. I think he'd be shocked if he knew it was supposed to be so EROTIC! Just about my favourite start to any show. The previous revival was my first experience of Tannhauser and it was so moving I went back a week later. Have yet to see any other production but I seen criticism that overall its too static as they've remained true to the original stage instructions conceived for the immobile Johan Botha. However it means that you really don't miss much from the Slips. If anyone's still wavering its only £21 - best regular value in London? The music is often as powerful as it get,s but there are some longueurs (perhaps this production). Do you really need to sing so much about the upcoming singing contest? Glad you also enjoyed it. I will seek out more productions.

At the ROH, Mayerling certainly gets saucy but this was, as you say, flat out erotic. And astonishing. For 15-minutes, it was like Pina Bausch for the OnlyFans generation, via Richard Wagner. Good memories of dad, can't put a price on that
You've encouraged me to check for tickets as I do want to go back.
I agree, the Eurovision section is possibly a little laboured though, yes, best value in London!

The King & Queen were at the Royal Ballet's Sleeping Beauty last night. That's the second time I've concided with them at the ROH this season, as they were also at Mayerling in November.

You must be on first name terms by now .. I was trying to think where they might sit, finally plumped for the DG Grand Tier?

Ironically from that side the real King & Queen wouldn't have been able to see the fictional King & Queen sat on stage!

Paul McCartney at The Mousetrap.
Vanessa Feltz at Frozen.
Very different ends of the fame scale but there you go!

The pitiful best I've managed in a while was Oliver Ormson at BTTF the other week (supporting his girlfriend, I assume, who was on for Jennifer), but then I saw Dawnstar saw the King & Queen so I think I'll just shush.

I don't think anyone can top The King and Queen to be honest.
