Im hoping to see this next summer!!! Pretty excited

everyone has there own opinions but just to let you know that if you have never seen the show, then the songs and the music probably appear very deceivng to you, but i can assure you that the live perfomance in the theatre is much more moving because during the majority of the songs there is constant movement and the stamana that this cast have is amazing.

I saw Billy twice in October, and then waited and waited for the OCR to be issued. I listened to a few of the clips online and was not in a positive mindset.

That all changed with the arrival of the OCR, because, apparently, clips are clips are clips. I dunno where or even how something as subjective as music and lyrics can be compared, from one stage to another with a different show, but I became addicted to Billy Elliot after just 2 viewings on the same day in October (George and Leon in the Billy roles), and after finally receiving the OCR, I'm more addicted than ever.

Other than a few hours a day when I might play the original score CD from "Narnia," it's Billy all day and Billy all night.

So, Caroline.... don't make up your mind till the full CD arrives on your player and you've given it a few listens. Even though you don't have the basis of having seen the show itself, I feel the OCR is a thoroughly real slice of Billy.

And, of course, 5 more viewings of Billy are on my calendar for March, and at that time, I'll probably start thinking about celebrating July 4th in London (there's some sort of symmetry to that, don't 'cha think?), which would put a return trip to London in October on my calendar, since this October was such an enjoyable experience.

Lastly, remember that every performance of Billy is different from the previous and the following versions of the show. Not only is the show tailored to each Billy, with so deep a bench amongst cast, you have got to know, as James Lomas puts it in his appearance (with the thoroughly BRILLIANT Ashley Lloyd) on TV's "Dance Factory," "It's your stage, your show. Make it yours." or words to that effect.

When I saw the show in October, George and Leon certainly made the show theirs. They freakin' command the stage, Dude! I mean, 1500 seats, filled to capacity, with more than a few wild, cheering addicts like me peppering the seats, leave no doubt. No one is phoning in their performance.

Oh, the OCR CD is actually, aurally, more than what you get in person at the theatre. Phil Ramone and Elton John spent some time and energy on this title, and, I think, it shows. The "band" is a bit bigger than the real band at the theatre.

So, summing up, give the OCR a chance, and secondly, git your butt to London and experience Billy firsthand.
