First visit to the Orange Tree @OrangeTreeThtr this afternoon. I'd pre-ordered a programme and found it on my seat, with a hand-written postcard inside welcoming me as a first-time visitor. That's impressive - and what a way to build an audience.

THE HOLY ROSENBERGS: "simply removes the party wall" "immaculate staging, a domestic front room... feels too small for the ideas" "decently catered function, but not quite a distinguished one" 3* opinion www.theatremonkey.com/2026/04/the-... Discuss www.theatremonkey.com/community/lo...

Fans of @FAWLTYTOWERS_ will appreciate the joker who turned the sign pointing to where the "good thrashing" happened round the wrong way. (Easter, 2026). Just so Watery Fowls, isn't it!
SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE (and other shows): New app could make meeting the star easy and guaranteed - but taking photos during the show impossible. Full details at www.theatremonkey.com/2026/04/new-...
THE LAST FIVE YEARS: London Palladium No poster, annoyingly, no handbills either. Still, photocopy of the programme front for an entry onto the theatremonkey office "Wall of Fame" anyway.
THE LAST FIVE YEARS: Palladium "Platt’s ability to spin this yarn and make it personal is unparalleled" "Zegler... twice stops the show" "One of the best the monkey has seen in the last 5 years" 5 star (SO) opinion www.theatremonkey.com/2026/03/the-... Discuss www.theatremonkey.com/community/we...

THE UNLIKELY PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY: Theatre Royal, Haymarket, London. Sadly, no poster, so I put this together from two publicity postcodes for the Theatremonkey Office Wall of Fame.
I'd had my eye on this since October, but by the time I could buy one, they were out of stock. Had them in today. Turns out they are hand poured and they only get about six at a time. shop.nationaltheatre.org.uk/products/nat...

Finally got hold of an "Evita" poster from @LondonPalladium for the office wall of fame.
Nice mention of the monkey in this week's Woman Magazine in the "Clever With Cash" column. Very, very true - some great views at good prices if you check with your simian friend first at www.theatremonkey.com.
