#3153My OCR Finally Arrived
Posted: 12/23/05 at 3:16pm
Well, after a couple calls and e-mails to Amazon UK (considering I placed my order in early November and after everything I've done to promote them as the best shipping method to North America), my box set [b]FINALLY[/b] arrived today.
Turns out it was held up in Canada Customs (who then charged me $10 tax and duty). I was convinced I wouldn't get it until after Christmas.
When I left the post office, I stuck it in the CD player. Not a good idea. As soon as "Stars Look Down", I had to start wiping my eyes AND I was stuck in Christmas traffic. The other drivers must have thought I was suffering holiday depression.
All is good now. Listening to "Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher" as I write.

#3155That happens to me lots and lots during .......
Posted: 12/23/05 at 6:41pm
......... "The Letter" and "The Letter -- Reprise."
I'll be very interested to heard Accord's impressions on the OCR as a whole. It rocks, bigtime, for me.
I have it stuck in my 6-disc CD player in the car, surrounded by the book on CD that I'm listening to. A murder mystery. If I get bored with the book, I can always skip over to Billy, and my day is instantly brightened.
I do fear the CD is setting me up to be a basket case when I see the show live, again next year. Hankie protocols are at the top of my to-do list under the direction of Miss Manners.

Hi everyone!
Today i went to London to see Mamma Mia. It was soooooooo sad going past Billy Elliot! lol! I enjoyed the show but nothing seems to compare to 'Billy' anymore! I wonder whether i'll ever be able to go into a show and enjoy it as much as Billy Elliot? My family are completely hooked and i don't think we are ever going to be able to find a cure! (other than go see the show every night!) Merry Xmas all and a Happy New Year!

tzwicky,
Hard for me to comment on the OCR. I've only had it for a day, so I've only listened to it 12 times.
I'm hoping that if I listen enough times, I'll desensitize myself so I can listen without crying (especially during STARS LOOK DOWN and the LETTERS). Until then, I'm not putting it on my Ipod because I can't listen in public.
In any case...off to do family Christmas stuff...Seasons greetings to all.

Hiya dancing_girl and Jen.
Shame you went to Mamma Mia and not BE, cos I was there again today.... along with Jen and a few others from the board... who are probably posting messages on the other one... I really do find it hard to keep up!
Great show and interesting to see the new cast and the changes that have been made.
Great to see Liam and Ryan paired up together as they are now with new 'partners', on a regular basis. Liam is with Brad and Ryan is with Travis... makes sense as they are pretty well matched size wise.
Had a great long chat with Ryan last Thursday evening outside the stage door and got to meet Travis too... although not seen him on stage yet.
How do I upload a pic onto here ? I was showing the guys in the queue at the Theatre today my camera phone pic of Travis and Ryan so will happily share it here if someone can point me in the right direction, Accy ?
Got to see Ashley there on Thursday as well as he was in London so dropped in to say hello to all his old cast mates - who were really pleased to see him. Hope you are reading this Ashley, was great to see you again and hope the film does well and you get lots more work.
Today's show was excellent. Ryan's 12th birthday and he gave it all he had. Shame nobody in the show got to tell everyone it was his birthday. I remember the first time I saw the show, on 13th May with James, he 'ad-libbed' a "Happy Birthday Mate" to one of the ensemble in the Finale, a great touch.
Had a quick chat with Liam's parents and commented that he is growing so fast and getting thinner!... a couple of times he had to pull his trousers up as they kept slipping down.
Ryan's family were really friendly as always and we were pleased to see that 'Michael' now gets his own 'bow' and recognition at the end of the show as well - really deserved!
Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye to the other board members. I thought I might see you round by the stage door but was a bit of a rush in the end. Still I'm sure we will probably meet again on a future date.
Merry Christmas one and all, especially Maggie Thatcher!

#3160And here I thought Board Members moved ........
Posted: 12/24/05 at 10:20pm
........ like a herd with a single mindset.
I mean that in the best possible sense, but I just always assumed that large pods of Billy Fanatics would move right from the seats outside the front door, turn right, and down the street to the stage door wait and lurk, making squealing noises every time the door opened, even if it was an "unknown tech person" or someone similar.
Rock my world! I thought being part of a cheering, squealing mob of fans meant waiting outside, regardless the weather or temperature?!
Hmmmmmmmmmm, I looked on the web and could not find out what a crush/mob/crash/riot/sedge/tittering/brace/flamboyance of Billy Fans would actually be called.
Perhaps a Fanatic of Billy Elliot fans?
Or perhaps we need to invent the term and make sure to propagate it across the world.

#3172James and George
Posted: 12/28/05 at 2:23pmDoes James still do weekends or just every now and then, or has he stopped completely? I read that he was in it til Christmas, but is he still there or not? And what about George? I know they've had their 'official' leaving nights, but when they were on Des and Mel they sounded very much as though they were still involved with the show.

Posted: 12/30/05 at 5:27pmSorry, I'll try to break it to you gently, but I think we've all seen the last of George and James in BETM. Get used to it. It's Liam, Leon and Travis with Matthew and Colin on the back burner.
