Billy Elliot The Musical — Page 109

I followed this board eversince we planned a trip to London for 2006. It certainly made us decide to go to Billy Elliot.
Last nights' performance made it clear it definately is the show to be at. Thanks to Liam for such a great performance. I will be here, checking reports photos etc. I can't really take part in the discussion too often, as I haven't seen the show yet!

A quick reply on a question from above:

"Also, just a quick question, what is James' role in the show now, as Liam said their are only 3 Billys, which means, Liam George and Leon."

I think Terry asked a question that has been asked so often when there were only 3. I just think Liam replied to the question without really thinking, there always were 3. Logically he replied: yes. So I think we should not make conlusions based on what he said yesterday.

Thanks s much for that clip!
My friend txted me last nite at about 8:300 saying 'Was that ur Billy?(the name that is used to refer 2 Liam coz he is the 1 i saw!) He was so good!' coz she knows i love BE.
When I realised I missed it I was sooooo annoyd coz it finished just befor I turned on!
So thanks so muchfor that - It was great!

Congratulations to Leon who was awarded his Blue Peter badge at the final curtain last night (Friday). I understand the film crew had been filming a day in the life of Leon yesterday ending with the award presentation. So tune in to Blue Peter (BBC) and see another Billy getting richly deserved recognition. At present I do not know if this will be on TV next week but it will be worth looking out for.Interestingly Leon performed with Brad as his Michael which makes me wonder if Joey will be switched to partner James.I understand that George will be used like James on an as needs basis until Christmas but that his 'official' leaving may still be December 3rd. Watch this space.

Heres a wallpaper i made, i've put it as all the desktop wallpapers on all the computers in the house hopefully my parents will get the message that i want to go and see it lol

Hey, that's great Katsy!

If that is the cover for the cd, does that mean that George will be on it because it looks like him in the picture?

Hi Laura2,

I don't think you can assume George will be on the recordings just because he is on the CD cover. That's the same familiar picture they use on most of the promotional materials (brochure, buses, phone booths all around London). They will probably continue to use the picture long after George leaves the show.

Wanted to say a very big thank you to Craig for capturing and uploading the CIN clip so quickly, and all the way from South Africa!

As people have said, with contributions from Canada as well, a truly international board this is and expanding so rapidly each day. If you miss it for a day, have to read back through so much to catch up !

Thanks again for the clip, and as others have said, Liam did fantastically well being thrown by the start but keeping it together as a true professional - and at only 13! - was absolutely brilliant, a true star.

Yep, so good to have it on the PC to watch over again. I missed the start on tv and came in half way through, so it was great to find it on here, but I guessed someone would be able to get it on fairly quickly.

I just love the fact that Liam was able to play the part as it is in the show, 'breaking out' into his own dance routine with such energy. And then at the end of it he was the usual sweet little guy that he is - the one you meet at ths stage door right after he comes off stage appearing totally unphased by the whole thing ! I bet his family were glowing with pride, as they should have been! Well done.

Oh dear,

Poor you... what a silly thing to do !

Yep it is easier for George living so much closer to London than the others so hope he can get into his GCSEs ok then.

Yes, do mention the board to him, as I said, be good to know he was able to read the comments people put.

Take care, hope the collar bone gets sorted out soon.

It is worrying that Liam did not know the words - i wonder if he has a cue on stage when he sings.
