Mention was made of George´s contract renewing to December, does this apply to Liam also as I thought it had as well?If not when does Liam finish?

I believe both Liam and George have extended till 3rd December or thereabouts.
All great things must come to pass. We know the first will soon be last and in the ground we may be lain , but a seed is sown to rise again.

When James And Ashley leave is there going to be a new set of Ballet girls to go on with Leon as well and will all the Debbies be staying on as well?

Hi Everyone,
Well I've just got back today from, dare I say it, but another musical in the West End and am now just catching up on everyone's gossip!
Last night when I came to see Billy Elliot, it was fantastic...
It was also the first time that I got to see the back flip which George does in Electricity - WOW.
I have now seen George on the last few occassions; the more I see him the more outstanding he gets.
I did go to the stage door afterwards but it was jammed packed with people wanting photos and autographs with the cast - So it looks like I will have to go back on another occassion to get some more done!
If Liam, James and George does read this thread I just want to let them know that even if the show gets tiring for you all, it is much appreciated when you hear the fab comments people make about this show - just keep up the brilliant work you're all doing guys!
Both WestEndFan 2 and I meet at the theatre yesterday and was re-living all our experiences together.
In terms of Liams contract, he and George are staying onp until December and I think they are replacing the ballet girls.

Is it just George who does the backflip or does James do it too?

I remember when I saw James, he did the backflip.
Interstingly I didn't see George doing the backflip.

Do you mean the run up the wall? James does this at the end of Electricity. George has also started doing it too. They both do back flips in it as well.

Is Liam good at those acrobatics? And does he do them too? (I've only heard good reviews about dancing [ballet], but I wasn't sure.)

I was just wandering about some problems. I was just lazy to check my programme, but as there are so many girls and 3 boys and they are like the only ones who actually dance in the show, is like one of the girls the dance captain or is one of the ensemble the dance captain? And do they have like understudy rehersals?
Just wandering... :P thanks!

WestEndPro...I am amazed at the amount of information you know about Billy Elliot: The Musical. Are you anything to do with the company or are you a parent of one of the children (or something like that)?

The cast come out really quickly, so if you want an autograph be quick! The cast are really quite good a giving autographs and saying hello. You might get a picture too if you have your camera!

Welcome winsax. As JL fan says, you can usually see the Billy,Back up Billy and their Michaels within 10-15 minutes of final curtain. Sometimes there is a bit of a scrum around the stage door if parents,family friends, and chaperons are present along with fans. I have found all the Billys very accomodating about autographs and photos as long as you are patient and polite.Liam, George,and James are very good at PR especially as they are usually exhausted after the show and they richly deserve all the praise going. Older cast members often drink at the ´stage door´ pub across the road and I have found them also prepared to sign and chat briefly.
Enjoy the show when you come and good luck meeting the Billy´s afterwards.

Just wandering (again!), do they Billys or Michaels learn from the other Billys or Michaels while they watch the other one perform? Just curious.. they might wanna do sth that may get big applause or sth... just wandering! hehe
And will Leon have a new line of choreography?

Hi Ruthiefan_felix. In response to your question, I understand that the Billys and Michaels do indeed watch each other perform from time to time in order to learn and achieve a degree of continuity to the performance. This is part of Stephen Daldry´s aim as director to encourage them to develop and keep fresh. Each has their own individual little trademarks which are special to them,for example Brad´s attempt to create breasts when he is given the tutu and his very poignant sad good bye to Billy as the curtain falls. Having seen all the Billys and Michaels perform it is so nice to see their own special interpretations at key points. I am sure Leon will have a choreographic routine built around his special skills like the others have done. I was told by a cast member I spoke to recently, that he his very good in rehearsals so I shall look forward very much to see his individual presentation of the role of Billy. At present though let´s enjoy James and Ashley while they are still with the cast as they are superb and will be missed very much when they move on.

Well, I finally caught James and Ashley's performance last night as I watched the show for the 8th time (Liam 5, George 2 and James 1). I concur, James and Ashley are absolutely superb. In fact, all three sets are completely amazing, though in different ways.
I hope those of you wanting to see James and Ashley get the chance before they leave.

I’m so jealous of all you people who have been lucky enough to see James and Ash perform as ”Billy” and “Michael”. As yet, I’ve not been able to catch either of them on stage – I have my fingers crossed that in the next week or so that I strike lucky!
Both Liam and George and their co-stars also do a fantastic job as these characters, I’ve seen them now 2 ½ times each! I’m so pleased that they are staying on until December.
One question I was going to ask anyone who is actually performing in the show but is it actually milk that the boys drink before being told off by their mam?
Has anyone got any more photo’s they can share with us all?
