I'd love to come but I'll be serving champagne to posh people at the King and One that evening.
Pub after though? Anyone that doesn't have to travel far home?

Dontdreamit kindly got my ticket so I'm definately in. I'm nervous already. 😁 ^Please, really, don't be alece10. There's no pressure at all, you are merely going to uphold the honour of several thousand theatreaboard members and over a million lurkers. It's not like us mods will "name and shame" after either. Life ban, probably, but never "name and shame" in public  . Read more: theatreboard.co.uk/thread/5140/theatre-cafe-quiz?page=2#ixzz5MYXN91l2Well, I for one am happy that you, and in fact everyone who said they would, have purchased ticket and we have a team. Do not be nervous. It's only meant to be a bit of fun. Some questions are extremely simple and others, a little bit more challenging. I'm sure that between us we'll get through! That said, last time they did ask us to make all of the colours (in order) of Joseph's Technicolour Dreamcoat And not to apply any additional pressure but I should make you aware that every theatre quiz I've been in we've either won or come second. So.... just saying! Again, no pressure! |

Sorry, a family emergency has kept me away from here for the past week and will also prevent me quizzing next week - I think you have a team still without me thought and wish you all luck, good memory and flashes of inspiration when required!

Just wondering what the arrangements are for Tuesdays quiz? Are we still one team member short? I was going to get there about 15 mins before it starts. I’ll be easy to spot as it’s likely I’ll have a stick with me judging on how this week has been. I think we are still 1 person short for the team... hopefully there will be someone on the board who is free this Tuesday evening and would like to join us 🙂 |

From anthony40’s original post it’s a maximum of 4 per team so you’re ok with three, but of course four heads are better than three. |

Oh and I don't look like my avitor pic. Well certainly won't be wearing that thick coat in this weather. Anyone know if the cafe has air con? |

For what its worth- and for this of you going who haven't met me- my aviator pic is me, so instantly recognisable and my name (actually) is Anthony. Pronounced with the TH, so AnTHony, but as most Brits struggle with that, Antony is fine, or even Ant works.

I’ve been asked to post this, and I’m sure the team will be along shortly to tell us the result  |

Such a pity I had to miss this. Hope it was a great night for all!
Any really tricky questions?
Would love for there to be a theatre board meet up soon!

Well unfortunately we didn't win but I don't think we embarassed the Theatre Board either.
It was a good night and lovely to meet Anthony40 and Dontdreamit.
Darn the winning team with teenage American girls who obviously knew the Mean Girls, Kit Harrington and Broadway questions.
And not a single Sondheim question.......

Did you manage to hoik any of those badges or business cards off to unsuspecting strangers?
I usually leave one on a bar table when I go to the theatre. Like the Milk Tray Man.

So this happened last night and got to meet both alec10 and Dontdreamit who were both very lovey and friendly.
Did we win? No. Did we have fun? Yes
There was most a picture round, which heavily pixilated images.
There was a musical round- for both Broadway and the West End
Also a round on plays and insert the lyric from a selection of multiple choice answers
There was also a raffle whilst the scores were being counted.
(Of the top of my head) some of the questions were as follows:
Name the three actresses playing the lead in Mean Girls on Broadway?
In Dear Evan Hansen, what s the name of the foundation?
There are two versions of The Wild Party- the Andrew Lippa one and name the second
What was the name of the first musical to with a Tony?
Name three stars who have won an Emmy, a Granny, a Tony Award and an Oscar
In Everybody's Talking About Jamie, what is the name that one of the characters gives him?
The musical Chicago is currently playing at The Phoneix Theatre; name two other theatre that this show has played at in the past
What character's name in Young Frankenstein upsets the horses?
After how many years after the books ended does the Cursed Child commence?
How many Shakespeare plays has the new director of The Globe appeared in?
Name three of the all women plays in the last Donmar season
How many times did The Ferryman extend?
What American currency do the urchins find in 42nd Street?
What is the longest running show on Broadway.
The Mousetrap is the longest running play but for how many years has it been running?
What was the event that caused The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night Time to move?
What was the show that was playing at the London Apollo before Wicked?
I won a 42nd Street Tote Bag with a poster and badges as part of the raffle. Dontdreamit won a Theatre Cafe musical with badges.
For those who wanted to go but couldn't go, never fear. It appears there is one every week, with next weeks being Disney themed.
Don't know if this focuses purely on staged Disney musicals, or Disney in general. The ones on the following weeks will be standard quizzes.
Manages to flog off some business cards but alas no badges.
