Live "Doctor Who" parody on Monday Night

[Bruce Gray]

Amazing! They time-travelled us, and we got back to the hotel about 20m after we left the hotel.
(We all agreed that that would be our story)

Really, although there definitely *was* a performance scheduled, it was cancelled at the last minute.
A friend of one of the actors was in line with us, and called the actor, who said the show was cancelled at the last minute. No explanation given by phone, but I know it must have been a true crisis to prevent a performance.

I intend to contact the box office tomorrow, and if normality has been restored, lead an group to try again on Friday (after the hackathon and tutorials) at 7:30pm.

Disappointing, but we were all in good company en route, and the press from when they did it in 2013 ( https://frontrowreviewersutah.com/?p=7867 ) indicates that it is worth a second attempt.

Thanks for asking!
