Well, it is NONE of your business if the pictures are blurred. I just want to answer somebody's message who wants the pictures.
For your information, those "blurred pictures" also includes part of Liam, which is your favourite.

(sorry, I am taking away what I said. I lost my temper when I said this. Sorry everyone - except you know who)

I support the idea of "Be Inspired".

---

two questions:

(a) does anyone know for sure when the recording will be at the theater (i know i know...beat to death) but my friend is going to London this weekend and is seeing the show. i've asked her to pick me up the recording. so. yeah.

and

(b) will you please put the -IN LIAMS DANCE- in parenthesis please, that's not part of the slogan and is unfair to all the other billy's.

it's

Be a BE*liever! Feel the Electricity!

not

Be a BE*liever! Feel the Electricity in Liams dance

thanks

thats true it was george on opening night and Liam on press night- or ai worng. no i am right- gosh doesnt this board make you doubt yourself! lol

No MF...press night is exactly that, you could say a 'preview for the press'....which was on 11th May with Liam. I take it that won't count then! The official and 'proper' Opening Night was 12th May, performed in front of a whole host of celebrities, by GEORGE! Accept it and get over it!

ENIGMA - RIDDLE - PARADOX

Oscar Wilde wrote "the worst vice of a fanatic is his
sincerity." Churchill had a different perspective with
"a fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."

Neither of these men ever read the Billy Elliot message board! But I have. Yesterday I read the entire board, twice.

It's informative, enthusiastic, and insightful. It's insulting, demeaning and (what has to be) deliberately provocative. It's well intentioned and contains some of the worst spelling I have ever read.

But that's the price of free speech. To me, even worse than a writer being obnoxious and crude, is the writer who responds you can't be obnoxious and rude HERE, "LEAVE THE BOARD FOREVER."

Two more observations before I too risk ostracized. Thank you BillyFan2 for inspiring me to read the entire site history, and not, as it may seem, make my opinions based on just a few chapters. Lastly, to those who are apoplectic over MF adding his Liam reference to the "feel the electricty" campaign, what's wrong with that?

Realizing I might well again be thought but a shill by defending his "voice", overlook the messenger and consider what was perhaps inadvertantly devised.

The idea is both positive and proactive! Why not invite everyone to add their individual perspectives and share what makes the 'BE' experience so unique and satisfying? This would certainly deflate any 'robot' notions!

Is it like this over at Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

Scribe

Post script:
To the inquiry who asked is that adorably cute child (my words)that accompanies my ramblings 'is me'. the answer is no. It was me!

Sorry, scribe! Sometimes I cannot stand it...

Hi biggestbillyfans!
Just call the box office, and asked them who will be billy. That is what I normally did until I got to see liam (somebody in the theatre notice me that I always ask the same question - It took me 3 weeks until I get liam, and I was popular as Mr "who will be performing tonight".

I agree with scribe "partially", but also "strongly agree" with be inspired.
There's chance that one of the boys will see this, and what will be their reaction? So, keep the message within sensible level

I suggest you ring 1 week before the show. But they will always said that it is not guaranteed that he will appear. But most likely. I used to ask the box office about 10 days before the show, and I rang again one day before and it changed completely. Also, the name board is not accurate sometime. I saw liam and they put leon's name, and changed it in the interval.

C U Later then....I have italian class (course) now.

After having emailed a contact at Working Title Films about who will be the 'Billy' in the recording, as well as if there any internship ossibilties at Working Title Films, this is the response I got - I am removing the email address that I was given in the email for privacy purposes:

Liam Mower will be performing Billy on the CD.

There is an intern scheme at Working Title but I'm afraid I don't know the in's and out's of how to get on it etc, so as a starting point I suggest you email ..... mention my name and ask her to point you in the right direction. (We are in fact based in a different building and so not up to speed with the running of the main film office).



Good luck!

The Team Names are all of closed pits

Easington: Was in County Durham it closed in 1994.

Markham: was in Derbyshire it closed in 1993.

Orgreave: was in Yorkshire it closed in 1990.
June 1984 saw the worst scenes of violence between the miners and the police, at Orgreave. Arthur Scargil ended up in Rotheram hospital.

The Ballet girls team names have now been changed.
Diddington, Ashington, and Beddington.
