A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Michael thought the production was amazing. He asked the actors to come and join him in the Dorchester hotel for a post-show celebration".

Well, when I reached the theatre, I queued up the returns ticket, trying to see who is alone and I could sell the ticket to him. But it seemed that everyone came in pairs! Then a woman came to me and gave me a ticket in the stalls costing 50 pounds... for nothing! I thanked her SO much, so I was MORE confident to sell my old ticket. Then the theatre had all those announcement about illegal ticket sellers and no one should buy from them.... actually lettin me off! Well, couldn't sell the ticket (what a shame!) and I went off to see the show. As usual, the show started 10 minutes late at around 7.40pm. I got a VERY feeling of the show from the stalls... I only sat in the Grand Circle and Dress Circle. Everything seems more close and I cried ALOT, even the scenes when I am not supposed to cry like at the end when Billy leaves!
Leon Cooke (Billy): Saw him last time and this time he did not disappoinment me. He is still AMAZING! Though his singing for some bits are not great, overall his singing is good. And his acting was great. His dancing... WOW! what can I say? Do I need to explain more? The Angry Dance scene seemed more amazing to me. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!!!!! But since he's ballet boy too.... I REALLY REALLY want to see George or James for their street dance!
Joey Phillips (Michael): He is good. But I still preferred Ryan (prob. because I saw him for 2 times!). But he went for the more girlish approuch and he seems so sweet! I like quite alot in the show and I think his 'Expressing Yourself' is EXCELLENT! And his 'come on sister' led to alot screaming from alot of girls!
Tim Healy (Dad): VERY good, never fail to impress me!
Mrs. Wilkinson: Understudy, forgot her name. But I don't think she's Stephanie Putson as I think she was still on as Dead Mum. But she is FABULOUS! I think she looks ABSOLUTELY stunning! She looks exactly like Julie Walters except sexier and taller! Her singing is louder than Haydn. I still preferred Haydn, but she is definitely really good and you won't know that she's an understudy!
Chris Lennon (Tony): Understudy. Liked him. But he's thin and looks nothing like Joe Caffrey. His acting was good, singing was good but there just seems something missing from him that doesn't make him Tony for me!
Ann Emery (Grandma): VERY good! She's on FIRE today! She's very energetic and enthusiastic! She's another one which never fails to disappointment!
Ensemble: EXCELLENT. No words could describe how good they were.
After the show, I rushed down to the stage door. And James was there with some friends and family chatting. I went up to him and got his picture and autograph on one of the postcards. Then George came out and he and James started chatting. And Joey came out and then a BUNCH of girls ran up to him and scream and hugged him. I was like ! George and James were like 'what the hell?' . Then Leon came out and I got his autograph and picture. Then I went to James and asked him whether he's coming back to perform on Fri. He confirmed me that he's performing on Friday night and Saturday matinee. Then I got George's autograph and picture. I waited for abit more and Ann came out and I got her autograph. I told her that I saw the show 3 times now and she said 'that's why the show's completely sold out. Because you come and watch and support us too frequently!' She's a REALLY lovely lady! Then Tim came out with his child and all the three Billys were playing with him. Then I left and went back home.

Most of the new ballet girls will be in one group, but a few are being put into other groups. The Debbie that is leaving is Lucy Stephenson. The new Debbie is called Leigh. I agree with whoever said that Debbie's part is not big enough in the show. In the film there is a moment of closeness between Billy and Debbie after the pillow fight. I would have liked to have seen something similar in the show. (I am sure all those feathers would have made too much mess on stage....but huge fun!!!)

Hi, i just had a thought and would like to hear what others think. Do you think that James, George and Liam (after leaving billy) will go on to do other shows in the west end. I no that it wont be straight away but i just thought that as they have had so much training it is possible that they could be casted in other shows. What does anybody else think?

All of them have the talent and skill to go on and do other shows if that's what they want. It would be interesting to hear what their dreams are now compared to what they were in interviews before the show opened.

Hi, my best mates mum works at Colins Performing Arts (where george went and she actually taught george, how kool is that!) and some of the teachers dont think that george will go back to Colins beacuse he has had so much training, so it would be interesting to see what the boys decide to do after billy elliot!

Bad news! The ticket is sold out until tuesday next week. That means I have to get the day ticket (restricted). What time the queue started? I heard somewhere it is 9 o'clock, while the box office said 10 o'clock. Which seat is the best (heard they also sell the stall seats)

hello decided to finally join in the posting rather than just watching so im half new to the board but not new to the show! nice to see james back, are they going to change the line where tony says he is only 11? good as he is it just wont be believable. i personally am i a bit fan of ashley lloyd so its a shame he isnt back as well. any news of what he has been up too since he left? - in answer to the question - they open the doors at ten so you can sit down, sell the tckts at 12 usually but the queue does form by nine

Well I went to see the show again today for my third time and was lucky to see George for the second time but with Ryan Longbottom. It was incredible, I cannot get enough of this show, I love it so much. George had improved since I last saw him and his angry dance was breathtaking. I am not sure but I could have sworn Leon Cooke was on stage too but as the tall boy, I might be wrong but it really looked like him. Does anyone know if it was him? I saw Ryan Longbottom for the first time as Michael and thought he was hilarious! However his voice seemed very low, almost as if it was about to break. After the show I went to the stage door and met George who was kind enough to sign my programme and let me take a photo of him. He seemed very friendly and not at all affected by stardom. Thank you for the photos people! If anyone has anymore it would be great.

I'm so jelous of everyone who has seen it, i really want to go but I'm really poor (stupid college won't give me ema) and my parents won't pay for me either so I have to save up for it. It really does look good, and does anyone know if it will be touring the uk?

[Bunny2]

Posted: 10/27/05 at 4:12pm

OK here are some picture that my friend took today if I can work out how to put them on the internet. Do you think the boys mind us putting pictures of them on the internet? I guess they have to get used to it. OK I have no idea how to put photos on here, can someone help me. What do you do with the Optional Image?

Ok so we know that there will be a new billy played by someone called Travis.
He is replacing George.
We kow there will be a new Debbie played by someone called Leigh.
She is replacing Lucy Stephenson(sp?)

We do not know however if there will be a new Micheal. If one were to leave, surly it would be Brad because he performs with George. Does anyone have any info about a new Micheal?
