I tried very hard but unsuccessfully to get a ticket to this show. Apparently decades later it still rankles.

Aquamarine avert your eyes...
I heard about the show listening to Radio One (BBC) on the Sunday prior (which to a first approximation was during Altamont which is a bit wierd), and the DJ (who I think was Annie Nightingale, but don't shoot me if wrong) said that the Saville Theatre box office opened the next morning (ie Monday).
At the time I was working in London, so I left home slightly earlier than usual, and made my way there.
At about 08:30... I was the only person there!!!. It was actually open when I got there, and the nice lady asked me where I wanted to sit and showed me a schematic that was almost totally empty.
I pointed to two seats in the Dress Circle, paid my money and left.
Isn't hindsight wonderful. I could/should at the very least bought 6+ seats and passed them on to desperate friends.
I still have the ticket.
