So please don't jump down my throat if I am asking a simple question that I thought, if answered would benefit everybody who might be interested. I have never seen an understudy performance advertised so was interested in how one gets tickets - as the OP made no mention of how one actually gets tickets. I went to the website for the New Wimbledon Theatre and (of course) there was no mention of this performance. So rather than flame me - it would be far more useful (and politer) to simply point me in the right direction
First time ever??? :bwl:

Actually for your information, you have previously posted on the Competitions board (which is another no chat area because people subscribe to specific threads and are only interested in seeing competions, not chat). Before I could PM you to answer your question, at which point I deleted your post straight away - you posted the SAME question again. And I went through that process with you about four times. Each time I was in the middle of PM'ing you to try answer your question until an alert came through on a thread you KEPT chatting. In the end you frustrated me so much, I didn't bother answering your question because you wouldn't give a chance. And you've posted on FF too. I remember persistent usernames.

So no, I wasn't jumping to conclusions. I was stating facts. And I wasn't jumping down your throat or flaming you either. If you think this is me jumping down your throat/flaming you, you clearly are reading my post the wrong way. Trust me, you won't want to see me when I flame people.

And as I said to you before, you are unlikely to get responses to questions when you post in the wrong area. You state that people should point you in the right direction but everything was mentioned in everybody's initial email when you first joined FMUK so perhaps take a good read at that e-mail and a good read of the rules before wondering why people get annoyed. If you do want to post on threads that say "NO CHAT" you might want to join MSE. They're a forum who are happy to see such posts.

And you're right - your question may benefit people - just post it in the right place - surely that's not too much to ask?

Have to agree with the above only codes should be posted in the Codes Only thread, anything else needs to be put in this thread and questions do get answered quickly.

But I actually came in to say we went to see the Vocal Orchestra this afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it, what a talented group of people, not only very clever beatboxers but fantastic singing voices too, very entertaining with audience participation too! They were outside signing autographs after the show, the kids had their tickets signed and the group were just lovely too, really friendly and talking to the kids about the show and how to beatbox. Great afternoon.

Full frontal female nudity and an 18 rating for violence! Sufficient to say I have given my tickets away... (now if it was male full frontal nudity, it'd be a different matter ;))

They did recycle the 80s, 60s music part though, a similar thing was done before in their previous show.
