Re: 3700th Performance
According to my (not to be trusted 'back of the envelope') reckoning, the 4000th performance may be ca. December 4th - Thursday - the evening performance.
Would someone please double check my calculation?

Re: 3700th Performance
If you count the July 2, 2012 cancelled show (as the VPT apparently is), then yes tonight is 3700 shows -- otherwise it's tomorrow nightERinVA wrote:According to the VPT's facebook page, tonight will mark performance number 3700. That's a LOT of shows!

Re: 3700th Performance
If you recognize tonight's show as #3700, then yes -- the evening show of Thursday, December 4th would be #4000.kport wrote:According to my (not to be trusted 'back of the envelope') reckoning, the 4000th performance may be ca. December 4th - Thursday - the evening performance.

Re: 3700th Performance

I assume that they will be doing whatever official recognition they plan to do this evening since they have made a point of advertising it.porschesrule wrote:If you count the July 2, 2012 cancelled show (as the VPT apparently is), then yes tonight is 3700 shows -- otherwise it's tomorrow nightERinVA wrote:According to the VPT's facebook page, tonight will mark performance number 3700.

There is an extra matinee performance on Tuesday 28 October ( presumably half term week) so wouldn't that make the 4000th show on the afternoon of the 4 December ?
