Saw the show last night.... and was pleasantly supprised to get the opportunity to see James again....
This young man was incredible and without doubt one of the best performances I have seen (and working next door - I've seen a few now). There is of course no doubt that he has grown considerably and certainly can no longer pass for eleven, it is also clear that his voice is breaking. This however is by no means a crititism of any kind as he is still more than capable of giving an amazing performance that couldn't fail to impress. He very cleverly manages to sing certain parts in a different way to keep within his range and this by no means detracts from the otherall performance. His grasp of modern dance is outstanding and his take on 'Angry Dance' and 'Electricity' were without doubt the BEST I have seen. Whilst it is of course very unfortunate that Liam is unwell I urge anyone who hasn't been lucky enough to see James performance (or has ever doubted his ability) to take these last few oportunities to see his amazing performance.
As usual billy was supported by an amazing cast last night and I thought some of the new ballet girls were fantastic.
Whilst Im sure he must be very sad that his time in the role has come to an end, he and his family should be very proud of what he has achieved. Im sure this will not be the last we hear from any of the original 'billy' cast who in my mind all give outstanding performances in unique ways.
I cant quite work out what it is I like so much about this show as Im not one to typically enjoy musicals, nor do I pretend to know anything about dancing. I can however appreciate true talent when I see it and this show is full of it. I was very reluctant to be taken to this show for the first time.... but have since seen it reguarly and always enjoy every performance.
I'll shut up now....
