Ah, I see (still in bed BTW- thinking of getting some breakfast as I'm now hungry). I'm an International London based guy. I don't wish to appear as though I'm bragging but (Realisably) I can leave home any time after 10am and still make it with loads of time And actually get in straight away? The queues are always huge for WEL. Though of course people just joussel themselves in with the crush entering the square. Shamefully that's how I've made it in a couple of times in the past, but then the queue was badly managed. Last year we got honest and queued properly |

Hmm, sometimes. Sometimes not. Either way it doesn't really matter for as long as you can see and hear then. In reality there's always one or two that you're to too keen on so during this times you check out the stalls and eventually, you get it.
The I can't get upgraded I (sometimes) grab the opportunity to take a selfie with someone who's just performed.

As I'm hoping to get upgraded I'm wearing a pair of chinos and black shoes, a blue and white chequered shirt with a green casual jacket.

It would be great for those of us at home stuck behind keyboards if those there could post a few pictures for us so we know what we are missing out on!

I appreciate it can be a bit tricky to do on your phone, but if you have a good couple of images, feel free to email them to theatreboard@mail.com and I'll publish them on here for you. |

Currently sitting in the theatre cafe. Glad my early start paid off, I got afront row spot. A coupleof duds but mostly every act was fantastic, especially Beautiful, Kinky Boots and Eva and Rachelle with Les Mis. Oh and I loved Jon Robyns and Cassie Compton's Wedding Singer numbers.  can't wait until tomorrow. |

Has been a good day. The afternoon is always a bit hit and miss due to no shows performing and just choirs or forthcoming shows so the crowd doesn't feel so invested in the acts.
It's been nice in my Ivory tower of the VIP enclosure. In my inebriated state. West End Live is an alcohol free event (unless you are friends with the organisers or flirt shamelessly with the Mastercard Angels).
Just waiting for In The Heights to close us down for the day before we grab food pre (Sheridan-lite) Funny Girl.

I heard they closed the queue at one point. I popped down and it was ridiculously busy! I suppose that's a possibility. The queue is always ridiculous. I've always been lucky to get in fairly easily though. Was down to a one in one out situation at some point. A load of people leave about 1-1.30 ish for matinees and food as this is when the main shows tend to have all performed. Still a good crowd at the square now with only In The Heights left to come. |

can't wait until tomorrow.
