#1How (Technically) has Billy Elliot been doing lately?
Posted: 11/3/08 at 11:14amLet me explain, I was supposed to see the show 10/14, but of course that was cancelled, so I'm finally seeing the show tonight. One question, have most of the technical problems been fixed? I know I read in a few reviews since the cancelled performance that it has broken down, but recently? I'm just curious to know, and I certainly don't want to have a performance cancelled AGAIN (Let's just say I expect a lot more than just a refund).

Posted: 11/3/08 at 2:56pmAs for 10.29's special added matinee performance, it was definitely working - Tremendously. ENJOY!

I'm going to start spelling this show as "Billy-Elly Ot," just because it is so fun to say "Billy-Elly" very quickly.
Billy Elly
Billy Elly
Billy Elly
Ot

10/25 matinee, no issues. Course, at this point, you're sitting in your seat, so it's kind of a moot issue.
Hope you enjoy this show.

Posted: 11/4/08 at 11:07amOMG! It was amazing! I snuck down to a box for the second act, but I'm truly amazed at the complexity of that set! Especially the bedroom! The only technical glitch I noticed was that during Angry Dance and the scene before, the bedroom set seemed to be higher positioned on one side of it and lower on the other. I then noticed during the second act that it was laying flat again. Still, amazing show!

Posted: 11/4/08 at 1:10pmIt was on different levels because it had to be at certain angles and the stage is super raked.

Posted: 11/4/08 at 1:49pmYa right before Angry Dance it is on different levels. It is because it spins on the way up that time to show a different side of the set, so it is technically not all the way up.
