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?

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.

WEP's around somewhere and does indeed have all the best information.

I'm sure WEP will post messages in due course but I would imagine that it's quite hectic at the theatre at the moment with the new Billy coming through and the many rehearsals that they must be doing; not forgeting the amount of work happening for the recording of the cast album!

So has everyone got their tickets yet for James last night and the cast change in December?

September 17th ( 7.30 pm) which may be James and Ashley's last performance is a gala performance and not open to the general public. I know because I tried to get a ticket and had to settle for the Friday night and take pot luck as to which Billy it will be. James and Ashley deserve to go out on a high as they have done this musical proud in the last few months. George and Liam had the lead in the earlier Gala and Press nights so it is only fair that James and Ashley get their moment of glory. Regarding an earlier comment about George not being on as much as Liam and James, this is not born out by the facts. The producers are scrupulously fair and from the times I have been to the show George has been a regular feature. He also did extra shows when Liam was away and earlier in the run when James had a brief injury. For those waiting to see George, be prepared for a real treat as he is not known as 'angry George' for nothing! For me he is the closest in Billy's raw frustration to Jamie Bell in the film and his performances are always very dynamic.

Just got back from seeing the show for a second time, I got returns tickets in the front row altough it hurt your neck a bit it was good to be soo close to the action I had James as Billy!! AND WOOOOOOOOOW he was amazing. He was getting really in to it and looked like he was having so much fun. He had such a great singing voice at the end did a great job of getting the audience involved. And by the end of it we were all on our feet giving him all the cheers he could wish for.
After the show I went to the stage door and was lucky enough to stumble across Stephen Daldry i didnt get to talk to him or get any pictures as he was talking to alot of differnt people but it was exciting for him to be there. Then James came out followed by George followed by Ashley. But they were all in a bit of a rush and there were LOADS of people there so I didnt really get the chance to talk but my friend got there autographs (i would of but i already have them so i didnt want to waste there time) and we had a picture with James and then another with Ashley (but that one didnt turn out good because when my mum was taking it she moved her hand so it was all blury). Then they all went off somewhere.

Thank you for thinking about me. I'm up to my armpits in work right now, so the board is suffering, but you great guys keep posting such nice things, and without you there wouldn't be any board for Billy Elliot fans.

I've had quite a few suggestions about creating a dedicated webpage for the fans of the show instead of roaming about on a board primarily intended for Broadway shows. So, a fan bought a webspace we can use.

I'm not sure how much time I will have to work on it, but with your help, it will be very nice. What do you say? Should we try it for a while and see how it works out, or is it a bad idea?

Here you will be able to do, well, whatever you, good people, wish for a website of this kind.

Think about it while you enjoy some new pictures!

Also, bring your kids to the Kid's Week show on the Thursday matinee next week! Updated On: 8/18/05 at 06:12 PM

As Be Inspired says, you can get tickets for the evening show for the 17th of September as the boxoffice has released a few tickets. But you better do it quickly...

What a great post "be inspired". Like other fans have previously written, the talent of the youngsters in this production is out of this world… what a hard act to follow!

The idea of having a fans website is great… we can add allsorts of items. If any help is needed, please let me know.

I really wish that I could get my ticket for James and Ash’s last performance but I will be away on holiday for a couple of weeks – I’m hoping that you will all keep me posted on what the evening is like!
