I saw Ragtime at the Regent Park Open Air Theatre. I would highly recommend it. The play is great, really well staged and the actors all have amazing voices. I haven't been to the theatre before but it was really fun watching a play out under the stars (well a bit more like cloud!!). Lots of warm clothes neede though!

Watched The Sunshine Boys today with my girlfriend and her friend. We got great seats in the stalls and although it was right near the edge, I had an excellent view of the stage with no tall person in front of me. For the first time ever, my girlfriend complained that there was someone tall in front of her! Funny hearing that considering she's approximately 5'10". Glad I wasn't sitting there else I'd see absolutely nothing!

I know funthing29 and canadian_turtle really enjoyed this but I found The Sunshine Boys a bit boring to be honest. The first half really dragged (hence I slept through it all :roll: ). Second half got better but still not as good as I hoped it would be (and glad it was all for free!). Girlfriend thought the exact opposite of me (first half was better for her and found the second half really boring) 6/10 although I would still recommend it for anyone who can get tickets via ShowFilmFirst. Nice to see tilly looking all hot and sexy! ;)

Great meeting celini and seeing a_peron :D
I alo had a tall person in front of me so had to keep switching sides.

I found the first half funnier and more entertaining and then it stopped in the 2nd half. I nearly fell asleep :shifty: . I'm glad I went but don't think I'll be returning.
