Thanks MUSICALS FAN, that's the one. You'll have to forgive the innacuracies with the name, I'm not as informed as all the others on this board.
There's a really intresting community thing going on on this board. It's funny for an outsider reading everyone elses comments. You all seem to know the cast or production team really well; I wish I had a fraction of your connections.
Liam Mower, George Maguire and all the others I had the misfortune not to see are truly superb. If there is a God I hope it see's people like them as representative of humanity, instead of talentless losers such as myself.

So, does this mean you think that ONLY Liam reads this thread?
It's all about Liam, Liam, Liam for you.
And you continue to bash the other Billys.
Everyone has the right to their own opinions, but haven't seen a person so rude and mean as you.
I also cannot understand your posts most of the time...
Why don't you go dig yourself into a hole and go hibernate for the winter? Then, you can come back and become a better person.
Although, I don't think that will happen anytime soon.
I'm disgusted with you, MusicalsFan. You're the one who should be banned from these boards.
I'll be back later, everyone. School time in the U.S.A! LOL.
o rite well thanks for the info be inspired, i didnt realise all 3 of them would be performing together 2 days running but then i guess if james was to come back and do the show it would be a lot easier to perform with the same cast. Have fun to James and anybody who is off to see the show!

Can I just take a moment to sing the praises of the Michaels and the Debbies of this great show too. These children are great performers and do a brilliant job in the parts they play. I defy anybody to sit here and say they do not enjoy 'Express' lol ...its simply one of the many great highlights of this show. for Brad, Ryan, Joey (and of course Ashley during his time) for standing on stage in a dress, in front of a massive audience and making everyone laugh so much, THANK YOU GUYS your are BRILLIANT! As for the Debbies, you each have your own unique ways of making this part your own....your famous 'Fanny scene' is an absolute 'side - splitter' greatly due to your delivery and timing...well done girls! You are all wonderful kids and a huge credit to your families. For such youngsters, with families so far away, you have proved to be absolutely amazing in every way.
For those of you children that know me....I would like you to know that I have so much admiration for you all. I could never do what you all do...I simply lack the courage (and of course talent lol).
May you continue to have a truly wonderful time in 'Billy' and come away feeling completely enriched and fulfilled, with some wonderful lifelong friends. "Love You Forever"

I have moved to the other forum http://billyelliotthemusical.me.uk/forum/ where posts are moderated, meaning that certain people will not be allowed to be as rude and offensive as they have been.
In the meantime hear hear for mentioning the Debbies and Michaels and lets also hear it for the ballet girls, tall boys and small boys.

Quick question for anyone who can spare a moment.
In the video of 'Electricity', Liam Mower dances with his older self, yet I seem to remember in the show that bit was danced to the tune of 'Swan Lake'. Am I wrong, or was that just an arbitrary decision on Elton John's part?
where should i look to get pictures of the cast, billy's, micheals, everyone!
Hey, gemzigem, here is a link to some billy elliot cast pictures i thought you might want: http://workingtitlefilms.com/filmPhotoSets.php?filmID=90

i knew bout it anyway but wudnt wan to join any place im not wanted so rest free i wont b on that.
wiw wuz brilliant tonight,all really gud but ruthie henshaw is useless compared to maria frielman.
any news on liams return yet
Musicals Fan, shut up! Ruthie was FAR superior than Maria Friedman! At least she could sing! And she and Simon Callows were the only good in the show and keepin the show alive (but why bother?!)
Well, just came back from tonight's performance... BRILLIANT, EXILERATING! James.. do I HAVE to explain? I got what I expected and actually more, I am a happy boy! Pictures & review coming in the next hr!
dont see ruthie goin to broadway but maria is,simon calow wuz excellent but not fat enough.its a great show but like billy is lacking without liam it is not same without maria.
re tonights circus how deep wuz james voice
I saw the show for the fifth time. I saw james twice, liam once, leon once, and george once.
I sat in stall area, the most front seat, near the aisle.
James voice is now very deep compared to his july performance. His singing voice is very good (hope he will be just like aled jones). He was really crying when he sang dear billy/dear mommy.
I was really impressed that he didn't forget the moves yet. It s just like somebody dead coming back to life again. It is just unbelievable. I wish Liam to come back, but that means the talented performer has to step down - (not very happy about that part). The first time I saw him, I was in the back seat in the grand circle.
I noticed at "Expressing yourself", the voice of James and Brad are very different (low and high). His angry dance is the best I've ever saw. The electricity was great and I love his backflips (I prefer Liam's and Leon's version though - longer than james' and george's).
Wish I will see him dancing again when I see George's last night.
My comment about the other cast:
Brooke Bailey: Good memory! Can remember where I sat in the show
Brad: Still funny and feminine
Chris lennon (understudy of joe): needs stronger voice, and also need to be fatter
Tim Healy: Perfect! At the end he mentioned that the Billy is one of the original billy that just left the show 6 weeks ago
Gillian (understudy of haydn): I think she started to copy haydn. I missed haydn soooo much. Needs to see her again and get her signature. Have seen gillian for 3 times, while haydn only twice. Hiks...
James' Mum said thank you for coming to the show. She's awfully nice.
Well that's all I can say to you.

Thanks for the review! James's mum must read the message board. How she knew it was you though... I don't know. Your turn now ruthiefan_felix! That hour must be up by now...
