From a reader, about the current show "John Cleese's Fawlty Towers - The Play":
"I sat in row B, so I was pretty close to the stage and could hear everything that "Basil" was saying. When he was doing the "funny walk" for the Germans, he quietly said "Hast du etwas Zeit für mich ...." which is the first line of Nena`s song "99 red balloons" in the original German version. I bet I am one of the first people to notice that."

When the musical "Cats" opened at the New London Theatre in 1981, the programme boasted that "Bouncer the theatre cat was fed exclusively on Whiskas."
The New London Theatre (now the Gillian Lynne), didn't actually have a cat. Bouncer was borrowed from the Fortune Theatre down the road.
