Der Cris T,
Obviously the BETM forum site has been already down for two days now - can't get access either. Their gallery is working though:
http://www.simply-the-best-online.me.uk/gallery/>http://www.simply-the-best-online.me.uk/gallery/
as well as the screen-saver page:
http://www.simply-the-best-online.me.uk/
and Lin's - password protected - video clips' page:
http://www.simply-the-best-online.me.uk/billy/
Let's hope for the best - and for wonderful Lin,
that the forum will be back online soon!

As Yam has already mentioned there have been a few major problems on the forum site but the guys are hoping for it to go LIVE sometime this morning.

Hi all...I know I always say this, but I really should come here more often.
At my Multimedia Links - TV/Videos list , there are a number of new entries, including the missing first interview with Colin Bates on CBBC (pictured) and even some TV alerts this week surrounding the one-year anniversary, including:
PAUL O'GRADY (Tuesday at 5:00 pm on Channel 4) with Elton John to discuss the success of BETM
GMTV (Thursday at 6:58 am on ITV1) with Liam Mower
To see the latest version of the list, please visit:
http://billyelliotthemusical.me.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=776
As well, if anyone is interested, I have extra front row seats for June 1 evening and a second row centre seat for June 3 matinee.

I enjoy the CD and hear it's a hit over in the West End, so I can't wait to see it here on the Great White Way.
After LESTAT, I'd think Sir Elton would enjoy bringing it over and having it be as successful as it is over there.

The show is near brilliant. I saw it on 5/11, and really liked it. Then I was able to go to the anniversary gala on 5/12 and it became a show that I truly love.

Welcome back! Nice to see someone still contributing to this page and with a nice touch of humour. I thought you had all deserted to the "official" sites (too complicated and intense for me). Perhaps one of you will bring me up to date with what's happening now at the VP? Is Liam still there? If not, where has he gone? How many Billys are there performing now? How long will the show run? Anything else an interested fan should know?

Liam is still here. Haydn Gwynne just left the show on Sat (I was there), so did Joey Philips (Michael)and Brooke (Debbie) and also the Stephanie Putson (Dead Mum). And Sally Dextor (Oliver!) is takin over as Mrs. Wilkinson. Philip Witchurch is Dad, but he has been out and his understudy's been on for nearly a wk now.
The current Billys: Liam, Leon, Travis, Matthew, Colin. Coming soon: Dean, Layton
The show is still in gd state!!! And apparently Sally was amazing. Chris Lennon is the Older Brother now, well, for quite awhile already.
(James, George returned to the show for its Birthday performance and alongside Liam, alternated the role of Billy with Tim Healy as Dad I believe)
And that's all that I can remember for the current state of the show on top of my head. Hope that helps.

Bless you, ruthiefan felix, for answering my questions so thoroughly. I really appreciate it. I feel I am back in touch thanks to your update. If anything significant happens in the future, like a Billy leaving, (when is Liam going, then, he must be 14 by now?) perhaps you'll post it on here - I rarely visit the "official" sites and so lose contact.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Ruthiefan: Tim Healy wasn't there as Dad on the birthday night. It was still Philip Whitchurch -- who's wonderful.

Now that Lestat is gone and Hot Feet could fold real soon, maybe NOW this show has a true, rightful place on Broadway.
Fingers crossed...

Thank goodness! I thought I was the only one who thought the fansites too messy. Maybe, rff, we can persuade some of the others to come back to this site. You have only to read some of the early pages to see how good it has been.

I'll try to come on here occasionally, but, after my last post, you might not trust me!
The night I did the spoof review (Wednesday - I wasn't there naturally) the show apparently folded at half time because there was a power failure.

Jeff3 you are welcome any time. I thoroughly enjoyed your spoof piece. As I was out of touch with the show you had me going until the 4th or 5th paragraph! It was hilarious and totally in keeping with this site - informed comment without taking ourselves too seriously. I look forward to your next piece - as well as all the real news.

I will defo try to get ppl back on this board. But the problem with them is that they think BWW is too uncontrolled and some of the previous posters said things that hurted and scared the kids. Therefore they made fansites boards in order to control what is published in order to make sure the kids wont read things that are negatively personal to them which I thought was very fair enough cuz afterall they're only kids and even Adam Pascal said he think the internet fans cud be very brutal!!!

Leon Cooke has signed a new contract, extending his run in the title role unil September.
Leon was the first new Billy after the original three. As such, he missed out on some of the kudos and - specificaly - on the awards heaped on the original cast. When Stephen Daldry introduced Travis Yates (No 5) on his opening night he presented him as "The Fourth Billy" in front of a packed house.
But Leon has slowly gathered a huge following. He is a really engaging performer. I will always remember the night he took over from a weary and overworked Travis at half time. He got a tremendous reception at his appearance. It was amazing how a feeling of complete assurance overwhelmed us. He is truely the dependable professional.
I also remember reading about the night he had a very nasty accident as he descended from his bed to perform the angry dance. I was writing a very bad set of limericks at the time about the then cast. The third verse - about Leon - marked that occasion:
With Leon it's all blood and gore.
He fell through a hole in the floor.
Though they called it a freak,
He was out for a week,
But, thank goodness, he came back for more.
By September he will have done a year in the role. What a star!

Thanks for the update, Jeff. Do you know how long the American boy (Colin) is staying with the show? And when is Liam due to leave? I was really out of touch until rff gave me the latest news but where are they up to with a New York show?
#3375
Posted: 6/13/06 at 8:08am
I don't know when Colin's leaving. He's by far the oldest (older than George Maguire!) but, so far as I know, he's still going strong. I don't know when Liam's leaving either, but not before September. It strikes me that both of these plus Leon will be getting close to expiry by the autumn, so that could be a volatile period. But, who knows? Certainly not me... as I have demonstrated.
