Morning everyone. Well last night I went to see a particular show again, and what an evening it was…

Yesterday was my 10th visit… though I still have a lot of catching up to do with some of you

George played the role of “Billy” and Brad played “Michael”. I’ve not seen either of them in the show for such a long time so I was really looking forward to it.
Firstly George… his acting is amazing with such a strong presence on the stage. He reminds me so much of Jamie Bell from the film now!
When it came to the Swan Lake scene with Isaac, the two of them were spot on when it came to the mirror image effect, in fact it’s the best I’ve ever seen it done. Isaac plays the older part of Billy extremely well; he’s going to be a hard act to follow - well done to you both.

As for Brad, he was great, and again had a huge applause at the end of the “Expressing Yourself” song.

The other person/people I want to mention is Emma Hudson who played “Debbie”. She seems to be in the show every time I go these days, no matter who is playing “Billy”. I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest. The little extras that she adds to this bit are great. I especially enjoyed the little tap number during “Shine”.
I also wanted to comment on the other ballet girls who are superb; they certainly help make the show what it’s become today.

Now as for little Tom who played the role of “small boy”. He was great and his parents should be so proud. The way he shouted out w***er to George at the beginning of the show is hilarious (not that I want to encourage small kids to swear).
He was also brilliant in “Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher” – well done mate.

Everyone else in the show was great but the above is what stood out for me yesterday.

After the show I went to the stage door and got a few signatures and pictures taken of Leon, Ann and Joe. I will see if Felix can put them up on this board for you all to see soon.

i_love_billy_elliot, check your PM
Felix, love your james' pictures
You can preorder it in amazon.co.uk
Type billy elliot on seacrh box, and the result will appear, click Music (3) on the left hand side.
You obviously need Debit/Credit card or postal order to get this CD pre-ordered. I haven't pre-order it because probably I will be going on the week when it will be released.
Limited edition is also OCR, with some addition to it (bonus track, postcard, full lyrics)

Well, if all that is on the 2nd disc is the three Elton tracks then I don't see the point in buying the 2 cd edition.

Typical!

The powers that be refuse to listen to reason re releasing three versions of the OCR, 1 for each of the boys, but yet again manage to peddle Elton's recordings of the same three songs for the umpteenth time!

I seem to remember an interview Elton gave some time ago saying how he had recorded a whole load of songs for Billy, that never actually made it into the show.

Would it not have made the the whole special edition release a little more tempting if we had a few of the "other" songs included too?

Sorry for the rant.

Good idea fizzipop! I always wanted that video!!
but it is now unrealistic. They already decided what to release.

Fizzipop - I've checked and play.com are actually the cheapest, as they don't charge for postage. Amazon would actually cost £13.45 once postage was added.

I think I will actually get mine from HMV or another proper shop where I can actually see both versions and make up my own mind. I do have the Elton John tracks on Peachtree Road, but would like to see what the postcards are like.

Hi,

for all the musicians out there:

I found some notes and chords for "Electricity"in the net. It's only the first page though and some of you might have figured it out themselves already.

Anyway, here's the link.

On the offical website for Billy Elliot, there is an offer to win the DVD. However, it says you need to put in the unique receipt number (what ever that is.) It is called Billy Elliot Taxi Giveaway.

Does anyone know what you have to do?

I am going to try some number on the ticket I bought for 3rd december to fill unique receipt number. There's a number, I believe, on the right side of the unused ticket.

As for amazon order, if you order above certain amount, you will get delivery free. I haven't order it because I want to buy it directly.
