Great photo's J L Fan and thanks for putting them on the board WEP.

Does anyone else have any good photo's? I'm off to the theatre tonight so may try and get some myself... any suggestions on who I should get and then add to this board?

One question I want to ask, has a date been set yet for the recording of the new cast album? Any more news on which of the three lads will be singing the Billy parts?

Rumour control has it that Paul Ramone started production of the Cast Recording last weekend, but that's just rumour. No other facts here

I really hope they hurry up with the cast recording - i don't think we can wait much longer!! Any rumours about the format of the album and who will be singing what?

3. The Grandma Song - 'We go Dancing'
4. Solidarity
5. Express Yourself
6. Born to Boogie
7. Angry Dance

ACT TWO

I doubt that they will do a DVD, but I will be MORE than happy if they did one!!!!!!! And btw, THANKS for the musical numbers list! But is 'angry dance' the offical name, WEP? It's just I REALLY wanna know what that scene/number is called! hehe!

I hope they do bring out a dvd... it would never leave my DVD player. But if they do they should bring out three and that means they better get recording quick before James and Ashley are off.

And thanks for the cast albums listing they sound cool! Is there any news of when it will be released yet?

I don't know which songs will appear on the Cast Recording but I hope all of them plus the ones they removed as they show was running too long. Please, please, pretty please :)

They must have such problems deciding who will sing what on the cast recording etc.
But I supose an advantage to having 3 Billys is that the kids can actually watch each other and see the show they are in. Otherwise they would never get to see their show!

Wouldn't it be GREAT if the cast recording songs, eg The Angry Dance contains NOT only the music but also the tap dancing sounds... that would be SO great.... like those in Riverdance! Oh... and like an extra CD rom with the making of or clips from the show...one can only dream....

[_clairey_]

Posted: 8/16/05 at 2:06pm

Yes that would be fab! The rhythms really make the song, and will remind us of our night at the theatre!
But I think they should do both versions of the song for people who don't want the tap dancing sounds.

Apparently they will record all three boys, then choose from the final recordings. I wish they could put on all three boys. That would be more fair,but I cant see it happening. I also hope all the tap sounds are on. You could close your eyes and think you were stll there!

Ashley looks SO cute!!!! those pixs are GREAT!!!!!!! THANKS!!!
Though we cannot make them choose which Billy to choose, wouldn't it be lovely to have a clip at the end with Electricity/Angry Dance (live from opening night of ____) as a bonus track just like they did for WiW!

Hello everyone. Well last night I went up to the Victoria Palace Theatre, the aim this time was not to see the show but to get some signatures from the cast.

I had an amazing night and thought I would share my experience with you all.

It was both George and James that was at the theatre yesterday with little Ryan (Michael) playing alongside George in the evening performance! I think Liam was taking a well-deserved rest!

When the cast and crew started to come out the stage door, I kind of backed off a bit and didn’t know how I was going to approach them and what I was going to say etc but all I can tell you is that I shouldn’t have worried!

I have never known such a lovely bunch of friendly people. Everyone who I approached was really happy to chat and gave me all the time in the world answering any questions I had - and that was just the adults! As for James, I could have chatted to him all night. He helped point out some of the other children. George was exactly the same, he’s an alright geeza!
The longest chat I had though was with little Ryan who plays Michael - he told me absolutely everything! Did you know that in the Billy house all the kids have computer games to play and their very own swimming pool to keep them amused!

I was also able to take some photos yesterday so will try and get WEP to put them up on this board.

So if anyone was thinking twice about going to say hello, I will suggest you do it. The cast looked as though that they get a buzz from it all as much as you do getting signatures and chatting to them (especially the kids!).

Them pictures Rock... Liam looks a bit scared in the guys and dolls one though :P. And Ashleys hat is cool. He looks very tall in the picture.

And electricty i completly agree they are a lovely bunch of friendly people. I also met the cast when george and james were there and they were both really happy to chat to me and my friends.When i went we had the understudy of Tony and i said well done to him and he was happy enough to reply although he was about to make a phone call (well i think he was he ahd his phone in his hand and looked like he was) so he didnt stop to talk but did say thank you and put his thumbs up. Bu George and James were really kind and were happy to let us have pictures and autographs. And my friends and I were all really scared and shaking whilst we were talking to them but we shouldnt of been because they are just like us and they are the same age as us even.

Any awy i will stop rambling now, but like electricty said don't hesitate to go say hello they are all really kind and happy to talk.

Is there any pixs of Geroge? Geroge seems to go on NOT as often as Liam and James, is it true? Or is it just not much ppl in this board was able to catch him? And any pixs of his Michael?

[S Wilkins]

Posted: 8/18/05 at 7:17am

I really wanted to meet James, Ashley and whoever else was there that night but had to rush off to the train station as my friend thought we would miss the last train! O well, i want to get tickets for James last performance so maybe i will get to meet him then.

Plus, has anybody noticed that WestEndPro hasn't posted in a while? Where are u WestEndPro u have all the best information.
