Yeah, that’s the gamble with Regent’s Park. They’ll usually try to push through light rain, but if it gets too heavy the show can be paused or stopped. Most of the time you can rebook or swap if it’s officially cancelled, but if they manage to get past the halfway mark you might not get much back. I’ve had one evening where they handed out ponchos and the audience stuck it out.
On the flip side, when the weather does behave, it’s quite amusing. I saw Into the Woods there a few summers ago and the setting did half the work. Dusk falling, birdsong in the background, and then the stage lights coming up. Totally different vibe from an indoor theatre.
