Which Billy and Michael?

Posted: 11/16/05 at 2:29pm

Just thought i would let you know three is the normal west end amount for sets of children in a show. even in chitty where there are masses and half as much to do they still have three teams. this is becuase yes they are allowed to perfom legally four times a week, however if one billy was to get ill/ injured the other would not legally be able to step in as they would already have to perform their maximum of four. they dont risk ever having less than three teams and often it is more. just thought i would let you know. good though- more kids get the chance!

Which Billy and Michael?

I think even though normally other WE shows have 3 sets of kids, Billy should have 4 because this role is probably one of the most physically demanding roles for a male performer!!!

Hi everyone!
Welcome to the board Brian and Rhea. I was just looking through the posts when i saw Brian's picture. I thought i recognised someone in the pic and when i enlarged it i realised it was me standing next to James!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol! I wasn't sure at first but when i read the posts afterwards i knew that it was because i also saw the show on Sept 15th! Sorz this is rather pointless but made me laugh!

Front Row, right where Billy jumps down off the stage !

Got it as a day ticket for £25, but meant queuing up from about 10am to be sure of getting in. Had to do so though as I couldn't make the Saturday night and so wanted to see James again before he finished. Not knowing he would be back !!

You know in shows with kids, I heard that there's a regulation about kids not allowed onstage after 10.30pm or sth like that, e.g. in Mary Poppins, because of teachnical problems, the show delayed for 30 mins, the kids HAD to leave, therefore at the end of 'Anything Can Happen' and the ending scenes, the Banks parents and Mary Poppins were talking to themselves?!. Anyway, does this apply to Billy Elliot? Has it ever happened? Because, they wudn't ask the Bily to leave early right?

Accord - these clips are great. Thank you for posting them.

Felix - in answer to your question, it is true that the younger cast members in any current West End show can't stay and perform after 10:30 pm.

This could quite easily happen in Billy Elliot. I was talking to one of the chaperones at the stage door of the Victoria Palace not so long ago who was saying that they were just about to go on stage and pull the children out as the show over-ran to 10:45 pm.

DOes this rules apply to Children in Needs? Because if it's does, then Billy Elliot and Mary Poppins won't appear

I mean, it's awkward enough for Mrs. Banks and Mary Poppins to be talkin on their own, but in BE, their endng scene is Billy & Michael, what do u think they'l do if the show ACTUALLY overran?

I'm not to sure if this would be the case if Billy Elliot was on the likes of "Children in Need" as this would be a one-off performance.

If "Billy" did ever over run, I'm sure it could be a very interesting situation to witness!

By the way Felix, where did you get your pictures from in your thumbnail?

The show frequently overruns by 5 or 10 minutes. I'm not sure if it has ever seriously overrun but with a 20 minute intermission there is always some leeway plus there is a 10 minute encore that could be cut in an emergency.
All great things must come to pass. We know the first will soon be last and in the ground we may be lain , but a seed is sown to rise again.

Hey, i think it would be a great shame if they had to cut the encore in the finale as i enjoy it so much, but hopefully the show wont be over run and no cutting scenes would happen!
Electricty, its funny as i was thinking exactly the same thing about the pic Felix has! Hey, if you dont mind sharing with us where you got your pic from Felix it would be great!
Thanks, GMFan!! X

comic relief?

Posted: 11/17/05 at 5:23pm

i think the reason why billy isnt on the comic relief list is because comic relief was in march this year! i think you've muddled up Children in Need with Comic Relief lol!
Give em that old RAZZLE DAZZLE and shine...

comic relief?

Posted: 11/18/05 at 2:51am

bunny2, try ibdb.com. I think it won't work for most of theatre performers in imdb.com
I'm not sure if this will work as well. I think this is only for broadway stars, but I found LMK there.

IMDb Listings

Posted: 11/18/05 at 6:54am

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) lists movies and TV shows, including TV appearances, interviews and DVD features. Please note, the database is quit extensive and so you will sometimes find multiple entries under the same name (i.e. there is more than one George Maguire and James Lomas).

http://imdb.com/find?q=billy,elliot

http://www.imdb.com/Name?Mower,+Liam

http://www.imdb.com/Name?Maguire,+George (II)

http://www.imdb.com/Name?Lomas,+James (II)

http://www.imdb.com/Name?Gwynne,+Haydn

http://www.imdb.com/Name?Healy,+Tim (II)

Anyone can submit information after registering, but it is a little tricky and time consuming, and it can take several weeks before it is posted since they try to verify entries. If you know of TV interviews, birthdays or other information about major cast members and don't know how to add them to IMDb, you can e-mail me accordcanada@gmail.com with details such as exact dates.

Saturdays show!

Posted: 11/18/05 at 8:00am

Well I'm off to see the show again tomorrow with a few others from this board! I can't wait Saturdays show!

I hope that James will be performing the role of "Billy" as I've not seen him in ages.

I will post a review on Sunday with hopefully more photos to add to the gallery page on the Billy Elliot fansite.

Until the next time... enjoy watching "Children In Need" tonight, in the hope that "Billy" will be on!
