Oh, this is going to be brilliant! Which theatre are we looking at and will there be day seats and/or a lottery? As long as it's not a ballot! |

Oh, this is going to be brilliant! Which theatre are we looking at and will there be day seats and/or a lottery? All of them! Each scene plays in a different theatre and the audience have to walk between theatres. That way Parsley will be able to walk out of every scene half way through! |

Tickets will be free but they will be hidden in the handbags of the rich and famous. Only those daring and skilful enough will be able acquire tickets undetected.

THEATREBREXIT
One more show
Another day, another Theatreboard.
This never-ending show will beat the Lord,
And Mackintosh and Bill Kenwright,
We'll make their shows look really shi e
One more show.
One more day to have another vote,
Should they sink or should they stay afloat?
Someone mount this damned production,
Even though the plot is slow.
One more show.
One more show before the storm.
After Brexit we'll be gawn.
At the barricades of freedom
Shall we join our brothers there?
When our ranks begin to form
Do we stay and do we dare?
Will you take your part with me?
The time is now, the show is here...
One more show.
Someone start the revolution
Spin the stage and set the props
Borrow lines from other stageshows
So we can't end up as flops.
We'll be ready for school parties
They will watch us all forever.
OAP's will ooh and aah,
They'll be wetting in their TEVA's.
Watch 'em run away
Catch 'em as they go
Never know your luck
When there's a free stage show.
Here's a little Webber.
There's a little Shakey.
Nothing lasts forever.
'Specially when your audience is flakey.
One show to a new beginning
Raise the curtain to the sky
There's a new song that we're singing.
Join in if you are not shy.
(Do you hear the people sing?)
I am the star: I'll fight with you
One day more
I did not sing until today (we all told you you're tone deaf)
We will follow your lead note
We will learn your part in case (it goes to a people's vote)
I will know the the whole damn show (one show more)
Brexit seems so far away,
Ten days until the judgement day
Tomorrow seems so far away
Tomorrow is the judgement day
Tomorrow we'll discover
What our PM in Downing Street has in store
One more vote
One more try
One May bore.

On the TheatreBoard, always posting in
The Wicked thread and I've never even been
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping my reply
Posting on the TheatreBoard!
I try to speak, but someone shoots me down
So I wait around hoping new threads can be found
While I'm watch, watch, watching people post
Posting on the TheatreBoard, oh,
Can anybody see, is anyone replying back at me?

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'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.
