Perhaps it's a score out of 10.

Just watched that Frozen set build video and the theatre looks lovely in it, just wondering have I been completely blind or are Andrews and Harrison new additions to the names on the front of the circle? I mean to be honest I don't really remember having seen names there before but looking online at old photos there were names but I feel had Andrews and Harrison been there before I might have spotted that. Anyone know what names were there before? Have they been updated? It looks like Kean and Byron were there before.

Met up with a friend this evening for dinner in Covent Garden and on our way back to Holborn we walked past The Theatre Royal Drury Lane (it was about 8.30pm) and the side door was open, so we took a peek inside. The place was actually open to look around or have a drink. The place is absolutely stunning. Looks so different. There is a lovely bar where the box office used to be which is going to be open all day and in the evenings. Where the merch stand was is now a posh sweet shop and when you go up the steps from the foyer there is another bar/cafe which is also going to be open during the day. The auditorium wasnt open to look at but got chatting to a lovely FOH person who told us that its beautiful inside, new seats that are very comfortable and they have taken 250 seats away so there is a lot more legroom now. The dress circle curves around now so that you are nearer to the stage. She said there is also a lift which goes up to all levels. She also told me that the back stage tours are due to start again in September and will be different from the old one but still using actors to take you around. ALW has also brought a lot of his art collection to have on display there. Interestingly enough there is not going to be a traditional box office anymore. There will be staff floating around during the day with tablets and they will book tickets via them and there are going to be self service ticket booths as well. I think a visit is due soon to try the afternoon tea. We then got on to talking about musical theatre and especially 42nd Street and the famous last performance that she was also at.

You can say what you like about Andy, but his new lavs are the best in the whole of London's glittering West End. I was so impressed the first time, I went back for a second visit! He serves a half decent cup of coffee, too, and employs the nicest staff. They weren't at all bothered about me paying, but I insisted. Even the cutlery is showbiz! The spoon may look copper, but it's actually 18/0 stainless steel. For only £55, you can buy a cheeseboard made from the old stage. Just think of all the greats that have trod the boards? It's the gift shop's biggest seller, apparently. Every luxury loft apartment should have one!

I know ALW needs the dosh but £55 for a cheeseboard is a bit much!

I'd wait before getting one of the cheeseboards. I'm sure they will turn up in Aldi's famous middle aisle of bargain stuff for a £5 at some point in the future.

Think of the history your cheese will enjoy sitting on though.

Can anyone tell me if there is an aisle at the extreme ends of the dress circle or is it a move along the row job front the centre?

Can anyone tell me if there is an aisle at the extreme ends of the dress circle or is it a move along the row job front the centre? It looks like there is, looking at photos from the refurb - also, if you choose a seat at the edge of the stalls on the LW site, there’s a message that says there is no aisle, which doesn’t come up if you choose a seat at the edge of the circle.
