Some of these theatre lookalikes are tenuous, we admit, but some of them are plain scary!

Ever seen someone in a production and thought you'd seen them in something before, only to realise that it's not them but their long lost twin? Yeah, us too.

Here's some of our favourite theatre doppelgangers.
