<blockquote>''"Fallen London's MOST POPULAR MUSIC-HALL presents a NEW EXTRAVAGANZA of ENTERTAINMENT each and every night!"''</blockquote>

'''Mahogany Hall''' is [[London]]'s most popular and prestigious theatre. It really does put on a different kind of show each day, as advertised: light entertainment on Monday, circus performers on Tuesday, comedy and variety on Wednesday, opera and ballet on Thursday, singers on Friday, magicians on Saturday, and the Kashmiri Princess - Mahogany Hall's star - on Sunday. And the performers are engaged in all sorts of intrigue. They say the magicians are in a civil war...

== A Popular Song ==
There is a certain dreadfully catchy song in London, that spreads like wildfire. Numerous variations of it exist, and can be heard at [[Mahogany Hall]] and a few other places. Most of them are nonsense verses, but some connect to the Wars of Illusion or simply comment on something that happened during the latest show.

Unfortunately, the song has a tendency to stick in one's mind. More unfortunately, it has a tendency to explode [[Bestiary#Weasels|certain animals]] and leave behind an awful mess.<ref>[https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Ask_her_to_sing_Pop_Goes_The_Weasel Ask her to sing Pop Goes The Weasel, ''Fallen London'']</ref>
