    idea for next challenge. Each choose a show to go to (you could buy the cheapest tickets if you wanted) and put together some kind of Bingo card of things either to find within the theatre, to do in the theatre, some of them could be really obscure for more points, for example "discover who the theatre ghost is" or "buy a show specific cocktail", then youll have to choose which show you go to based off if you want to go for the big points or just go for the easy ones like "give a tour of the show merchandise" or "film the bows" etc.

    Had to pause while watching and let you know that Mickey is doing my walk - if the weather is good I'll always walk to/from Victoria to save a little bit of money and get my steps in! I have done it at a similar pace, too, when it has been tight to catch the next train home and I don't want to wait half an hour for the next one, so I feel your pain.

    My route would have been Waterloo to start: old and young Vic, lyttelton, Dorfman and Oliver, southbank centre and then head across Waterloo bridge and nab everything in the Aldwych area, (Aldwych, Lyceum, Novello, Fortune, Duchess, Theatre Royal DR, Fortune, then do a time check and figure out the best route back to Trafalgar Square passing as many theatres as possible in what was left, (ideally Gillian Lynne, down St martins lane crossing off Cambridge, St Martins, Ambassadors, arts, Noel Coward, (maybe wyndhams) Duke of York and coliseum on the route down to Trafalgar Square)

    Phantom may be considered the longest residency of a current musical (if you combine the 2 productions). However, The Fantasticks opened at the Sullivan Street Playhouse in 1960 and did not close until 2002 in the same theater after 17,162 performances.
    The revival ran for 11 years and over 4,300 performances. At some point in the run, they renamed the theater for Jerry Orbach who was a lead in The Fantasticks long before his law & order days.
    Incidentally, the building that houses the theater is owned by Catherine Russell. She is the star of the play which is also housed in another theater in that building, The Theater Center.
    The play, Perfect Crime, has been running since 1987 except for the pandemic. It has been in a handful of theaters so doesn't count for residency.
    Last July, they gave their 14,000th performance. What makes this so spectacular is that Catherine has been the star of the show since the beginning and she still plays the role. She has never called out sick or used vacation days. She missed 4 performances (out of over 14,000), one for each of her siblings' weddings.

    This was so fun! I know the area well so it was fun to imagine what could have been a good route. It was exciting that you and Aeron went to so many of the same ones as it made it really hard to tell who was winning - impressed you caught up so well starting from Victoria. I'm also trying to go to every West End theatre (only have 4 left) and then that's a great idea of Aeron's to do the wider London as well. Thought I hadn't heard of the Seven Dials Playhouse but have just realised it's the Actors Centre rebranded which I did a couple classes at years ago - hadn't heard of the Leicester Sq one though. Excited to see what you come up with next!

    When I came to London last year I went out & did the touristy things & went to see Buckingham palace before ALW Cinderella but it was like a week before the queens jubilee so it was all busy & blocked off with army people on buses so it took longer than what I thought & i couldn't go back to certain places so I had to get a taxi to get to the theatre & made it with 5mins to spare😂
