I'm going to keep this short being I know quite a few people were there so I'm sure many will contribute to this thread; also I'm quite tired so I'll probably add more later on.
WOW! What an amazing night!! The energy in the theatre was so powerful and moving; the show started with a speech by Stephen Daldry, he spoke about how Trent is the longest running Billy and by the end of his bit was choked up.
Trent- well, I'm so happy I got to see him, he was the only original Billy I hadn't seen. He was brilliant and simply left me speechless. He will surely be missed.
Now, I'm not going to go on about the whole cast as my views on them have been written before, but: Philip Whitchurch, I loved him. I adore Greg Jbara as a performer but I just wasn't left with the best feelings all the times I saw him as Jackie, I thought Philip played the role excellently.
Will Chase had been out the past two times I've seen it but he too was wonderful!
Mere Louise was on as Grandma and was brilliant!
This was by far the best performance I have ever seen of Billy, Thommie Retter said himself that this was the best performance he was a part of and Tessa Netting said many were going all out. The show had quite a few in song standing ovations as well as countless cheers.
Bye Trent, we'll miss you!
