If you find yourself in Berlin, you should see Chicago at the Schiller Theatre. It's worth the ticket price just for the opening number; All That Jazz. It's one singer, 12 dancers with pink feather fans and a backdrop of about 4000 lights. It is absolutely stunning.

Tickets bought for The Producers at the Menier Chocolate Factory. This will be the 13th production we've seen, from Argentina to the Czech Republic, from Broadway to Frome et al.

Fifty years ago today, in The Black Cap in Camden Town, I asked @mudlarklives.bsky.social "Are Americans really called Chuck?" "They are", he replied, "and some are called Clay". We have been together ever since.
