The Lyric Theatre by day

Looking down Shaftesbury Avenue at night, you can see the Apollo next door to the Lyric, with the Gielgud and the Queen's Theatre farther up the street

I seem to be holding up the theatre wall, for some reason

Signing, signing--always signing. I don't think Sir Ian skipped a single person, even unintentionally, the week we were there.

This was our home for part of the week: the stage door near right; Windmill Nightclub (live international nude dancers!) behind it (with the amused doorman always watching us), and Pampers across the street (with semi-nude women in the window trying to entice people in).

I'm normally good with "no cameras" signs, but I had to snap this quick, out-of-focus shot of bows one night to record the stage setting for myself.
