Following the sad news of the passing of legendary theatre composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim, West End theatres will dim their lights for 2 minutes at 7pm on Monday 29 November, in his memory.
If you're at the theatre tomorrow afternoon (Sun 23 April), remember to turn your phone off before the show starts to avoid any disruption from the Emergency Alert test happening at 3pm. Having your phone on silent will usually not stop the sound from being emitted. Thanks!
