Our #FirstNightTakeover series continues with Perry O'Bree attending the West End opening (on 17 November 2016) of HALF A SIXPENCE, now transferred to the Noel Coward Theatre after winning rave reviews at Chichester Festival Theatre. See his blue-carpet and backstage selfies and videos with the creators and stars of the show...

We tried to limit our choices to just ten but we just couldn't, even after we separated out the kids' excellent tweets from the show account into a second blog. Opening night of SCHOOL OF ROCK just looked like too much fun. So here are top twenty (ish) tweets that encapsulate the night - from the cast and others working on the show, from celebs, from other punters in the audience and from the Lord himself, Andrew Lloyd Webber. Are you in the band on Twitter?

These kids rule the school. They know how to stick it to the man. They can rock on all night... And so, on opening night, the official SCHOOL OF ROCK social media accounts were handed over to young 'band members' including Isabelle and Jobe, who did a phenomenal job spotting the celebs on the red carpet. Watch what they got up and with who (including Andrew Lloyd Webber, Julian Fellowes, director Laurence Connor, Arlene Phillips, Jimmy Carr, Jodie Kidd and Myleene Klass in that dress)...

Slightly belated - as 8 November 2016 will go down in the history books for other reasons thanks to Donald Trump - we've rounded up our favourite fan and #StageFaves tweets from Tuesday's opening of LAZARUS. The late David Bowie's musical, with a book by Enda Walsh and direction by Ivo van Hove, got its London premiere this week at King's Cross Theatre after its debut earlier this year in New York. We think these ten #LazarusMusical tweets from the last few days really capture how special an occasion it was...

We've rounded up our favourite fan (or rather Phan) and performer tweets from last night's incredible #Phantom30th gala, marking the thirtieth anniversary of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at the West End's Her Majesty's Theatre. We think these thirty tweets really capture how special this milestone event was for actors and audience alike. Have we unmasked one of your tweets? See also official gala pics in our gallery...

We've rounded up our favourite fan tweets from last night's incredible #Wicked10 gala, marking the tenth anniversary of WICKED at the West End's Apollo. We think these ten tweets really capture this milestone event from the audience perspective...

Every four years, we go absolutely wild for sports we know next to nothing about. Fencing? Get it on the telly. Synchronised swimming? Absolutely. Dressage? Bring it. We all love the Olympics and our #StageFaves performers are no exception. We've gathered a few of our favourite Olympics tweets from our performers who've been keeping up with all the action in Rio.

Have you been cheering on Team GB? Quite right. But we reckon the cast and crew of THE LION KING could teach some would-be Olympians a thing or two about athletic prowess - and we're not just talking about former All Black international Nicholas Afoa, currently playing Simba. In an incredible new series of videos, Team Lion King give audiences a glimpse into the rigorous regimes they undergo in order to keep themselves in tip-top shape for the show.
