Mr Whit - i would agree with you. However, i can promise you, there is a reason why sound engineers are the most highly paid of most technical departments. . . because they are meant to be the best of the best. !Cant remember any missed lines however. Just clipping. I did see the Wednesday night show - which is common for deps night. Yes - I've worked with the best and the worst .Some are now No1 and 2's in west end, and someone i worked with on a previous show is now No1 on Oliver. Proves dedication can work. But the sound op for the show i saw was AWFUL!When on a tour i was a CSM on the tour - and the Sound 1 - was paid almost the same as me. . .but thats because their job is the most noticeable to the public. Bad lighting - spots take over. Bad sound - ANYONE can notice. !

Amusing piece on the telly new tonight about Matilda - why so many Olivier nominations it asked. Chorus from the nation's armchairs: 'Because it is brilliant!'

[cat123]

Watched again tonight. Just as good the second time, though I didn't enjoy Kerry as Matilda as much as Cleo. We also had Emily Shaw as Miss Honey, I believe she's been on all week.

Has anyone dayseated on a Saturday lately? Wondering what time the queue starts to form...?

[Zinone]

Oh hang on - the website just mentions £5 for 16-25 year olds daily. Is this the only day seat policy in existence?!

Day seats are for the young only at Matilda.

Oh that scuppers my plans! Has anyone got any experience of queueing for returns for the show at a weekend? Or is there any instances where house seats are released at the last minute? Desperate to go along in two weeks on a Sat or Sun and will pay full price...!
