it sounds like a child though, are u sure they didnt join in? (with the singing like?)
The Christopher everyone is referring to is Christopher Parkinson. You can find some photos on page one of this thread near the bottom of the page. I have no idea who it is that is singing it though.
thanks for the chris info, thanks again x
how many times have u seen betm?
i_love_billy_elliot... thanks for telling me but i am a bit confused becos when i go on media there r choices like diaries, video of electricity (which it is saying something about a problem with the server) and elton johns electricity (which surely elton john is singing and then where is the letter??)
how did ppl meet all the cast??!!!!!

if you just go to the stage door after the show the cast come out within about 10 -15 mins of the curtian closeing.
that is sooooo annoying!!!!! i didnt know ppl could do that!! i guess there is a huge crowd though and also i wouldn't have known where the stage door is!!do they go straight away or do they hang round for a bit

they hang around for a bit to chat to fans but i supose if there is no one there they just go. and the first time i went to meet them me and my friends were the only peple there wanting to meet them but the second time tehre were LOADS of people so i supose it depends on the day that yuo go on.

Stacy: Try refreshing the media page. That's the old media page with Elton John singing. They've updated it.
Why does he sound like he's singing "Muuuuuuuu-zzzzicccc" instead of "Music"? Yes, it does sound like a boy...but which one!? I wish they'd put thw whole song up...at least you were able to listen to the whole thing before, even if it was Elton John singing. And I wonder what happened to the Billy Elliot diaries? I hope the update of the site is a sign of the cast recording coming. I bet they've chosen the boy now, and that's him. Just can't tell who he is. He doesn't sound like when I saw it with George but not only was that a while ago, but also I've only seen it once and probably don't remember too well.
omg that is sooo cool!!! how long did u get to talk to them for?? who was it that u saw?? i saw george

Stacy: Go to the media page, where you see the four links ("Bily Elliot Diaries, Electricity Video, etc.") and then on your browser, hit refresh. Not on the media page, but on your browser. It's on the browser toolbar. It might be called reload. Or it might not have a name and look like two arrows or something. It should be next to the back and forward buttons. Now the page should be different.
It should just have two things: Electricity and The Letter, and that's what they should be called (it shouldn't have any Elton John or anything.) Click on one, and the song starts.
thanks alex but i keep pressing refresh loads of times but still its the same???!!!
this is really annoying me!! i keep pressing refresh but nothing is happening it just stays the same!! what could i be doing wrong??!!
I'm getting the old pages too and I know I was getting the proper ones before. Not sure quite what is going on with the web site.

Hm...that's wierd. Try opening a different browser than the one you use normally, and then typing in:

oo thats the same one as on 'from screen to stage' i also think its the boy that you see first when the kids come on in from screen to stage but thats only coz you seem him first, so i dont think it acutally is him. but it doesnt sound like george james or liam but it may be becaue we have only herd them when the show opened so there voice probably matured suring the rehursals and everything
i dont know but i saw george on the 1st september so it wasnt that long ago
dont worry it didnt come up wiuth me either but i kept logging on to the site so it eventually worked. i got so jealous of my mate cos she met liam and i didtn no i could do that. apparently he is really nice!
lol Xx
is george good at singing, is he quite soft like liam?

I've seen George and James; I thought that George was the better singer of the two. Don't know if James was having an off day, but it was very noticable when the pre-recorded track clicked in during Electricity. I did enjoy James' "Dear Mam" letter and though his performance was good. George's angry portrayal struck me as been truer to Jamie Bell and the movie.

i really dont think that is any of the current billys singing there. was prob made a long time ago in rehearsals but ive seen all of them and it doesnt sound like them at all!
good luck ashley jess and james for ure last week!!!!
well i didnt think george was the best of singers... his acting n dancing was better (especially when he does the angry scene - that was really really gd) but i think his singing was v. gd at start but it gets more difficult as u get tired so i think thats why it wasnt amazing at the end. he was so so so good though overall!!! im so jealous of everyone who met the cast cos i didnt know u could do that either!!
