The time has come. It's been fun, but it's not for me any more. I'm loving the lack of ads and genuine engagement over on Mastodon, so I'm leaving the bird site. Hope to see you on the other side! I'm @[email protected]

@Oscar_C_M_ @IanMcKellen @JohnBishop100 We saw you and your new family yesterday - you are clearly having the time of your life. It was joyful, and your tongue waggling at poor Jill was hysterical. A panto made for Brighton 😂. I'm very envious of you getting to watch @AnnaJaneCasey every performance, though!

[Julie Roff @JulieRoffABC]

@mrianday @ATDazzles @Wrightyboy13 @newsies_uk Thanks! I'm not going until January, but very excited already!

[Julie Roff @JulieRoffABC]

@ATDazzles @Wrightyboy13 @newsies_uk I'm in Brooklyn row F, on one of the side gangways, so fingers crossed!

@PaulBrandITV Kudos to @timloughton for putting the question that many of us would like to but don't get the chance.

@blogscot @Lenniesaurus This is good news - I hope she accepts my Follow request!

[Julie Roff @JulieRoffABC]

@ATDazzles Also, if you're using on mobile, don't use the Mastodon app. Use Metatext for iOS or Tusky for Android (there are others). On PC I use the https://t.co/6IGFsXw3W8 webpage. I think you'll love it - more characters to play with 😊. And it encourages conversation, rather than snark.

[Julie Roff @JulieRoffABC]

@ATDazzles Yes! It's super friendly. I'm on https://t.co/Mz4AjYIrWq, as @[email protected], but there are plenty of instances to choose from, and whichever one you chose, you can still see everyone else. The best thing? You can follow hashtags as well as people. #MusicalTheatre

The Band's Visit @DonmarWarehouse is simply beautiful. Understated but glorious, emphasising what links rather than divides us. There isn't a weak link, and I'm now obsessed with Miri Mesika. Any chance of a cast album? I don't want to hear anyone else singing Omar Sharif 😍

[Donmar Warehouse @DonmarWarehouse]

😍 We're loving your reactions to THE BAND'S VISIT!

🎟️ Just 3 weeks left - check our website for returns and released tickets
