Entertainments
Text
London is wonderful for theatres, but the popular shows especially the big musicals are usually fully booked months in advance. Sometimes one may be lucky to get rickets on the day from the thea-tie or booking agency. It is usually much easier to buy tickets for matinees (afternoon performances).
One day one of the participants bought a weekly entertainment guide Time Out for information about theatres, cinemas, concerts and other entertainments. One of the ads attracted his attention. It said:
PRINCE EDWARD. Tel. 01- 4376877
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's
EVITA
THE WORLD'S GREATEST MUSICAL
Dir. by Hal Prince Evgs 8.0
Low price Mats. Thurs. and Sat. 3.0
Evg. perfs. end 10.15
Grp sales 01—3796061
He and his friend decided to go to the box office and try their luck.
