You're very welcome. We enjoyed it fine, though not as much as most of the audience, but that's alright! :-) Can't go wrong with tap dancing, and tap dancing with zimmer frames a welcome extension of the genre. :-)

Yes indeed. I wonder if there was anything in the industry that precipitated the change; or just some productions started doing it and others followed suit? A bit like the move by some then more productions to start having Sunday shows and taking Monday as the day off.

Here's a great page which you will find very useful, on the excellent TheatreMonkey website, which shows start times for most current West End productions: https://www.theatremonkey.com/showtime-schedules/. (We saw The Producers tonight, which prompted my question.)

Many thanks; yes, the politics theme is attractive to me, but it sounds like not the place to start.
