    Unfortunately, the first thing I noticed was the missing apostrophe in the Marquee.

    The audience seems to be very heavily male. I wonder why that is?

      Well, that’s a lingerie shop right next door. Maybe all the ladies are in there?

      There’s a young lady in the middle of the picture looking up at her bearded date, as if asking why am I here? She is probably now a grandmother, having raised three boys, and understands perfectly.
