Majority disliked it, and I guess I could get penalized be having a shirt that means a lot to me, (no intention of selling it), if you want to see the shirt I'll be attending the 1st Performance of Billy Elliott in NYC Oct. 1st I'll be the one with the shirt that has a grammar mistake.

You might want to fix the glaring grammar error on the back before you do anything with it (it should be "You're," not "Your").

Maybe you should have asked for feedback before you processed the order.

I wouldn't wear a shirt with a grammatical error as bad as that one. It would be embarrassing. I mean, it's a pretty basic contraction. But that's just me. If you're okay with it, what the heck!

Is not the Billy logo on the front copyrighted?

And the picture of the three boys would be copyrighted as well.

You should get this shirt instead.

(Yes, I own one.)

I'll be honest - I couldn't wear a shirt that uses the incorrect use of a word. But maybe that's because bad grammar bothers me.

then again I guess I could have gotten the "generic" one from the Official Website. Thanks for emptying my half full glass, I believe the spirit of Broadway is not what they want it to be. It is want "YOU" want it to be.

Who is this "they" ruining your Broadway spirit? People who speak the English language proficiently?

ha I will continue to be on this board. But I am not going to let words get the best of me.

It sucks that you had the grammar mistake, and the printers didn't tell you first.

I still want to see the shirt.

BTW, did you see the CATS+Billy Elliot video? It was hilarious! I can't seem to find it, though.

bundy5000: Its the sort of spelling mistake that would commonly be made in places such as Easington, so you could pass it off as being deliberate on the grounds of authenticity.

Bah, he removed the original. I can kinda guess what the vague idea was, but if anyone cares to give a detailed description, I'd be interested to read it.

I don't know about your t-shirt, but if they bring over the same t-shirts they sold in London beware. I bought one in navy with a light blue band at the collar. It said Billy Elliot in smallish letters on the sleeve. On the front was a colorful block of four dancers in mid leap. And sideways next to it was "Be Inspired". I rarely buy t-shirts, but loved this one. It was expensive! The first time I washed it -- in cold water with mild detergent, the entire thing half flaked off. Piece of junk. It made a very expensive t-shirt to wear in the paint shop.

Dude, you were looking for feedback, and people gave it to you. Or were you just looking for some positive reinforcement to boost your ego?

Hello, YOU asked for feedback and you got it.

[bundy5000]

your right, it was feedback, and I apologize, I had a hard day and I made something that I thought was a cool thing to boost my self esteem not ego, it was late and I felt like something Broadway related was the only thing to bring me up.

I don't want anyone on this board to dislike me, I can only come here and share my Broadway experiences, Communication VIA Online, text msg. ,AIM, Myspace...... is a terrible way to make first impressions and to know that people take certain phrases a whole lot different than was intended.

Point is I was critical of the feedback. Not many great things come my way through family and friends. Broadway is where Anything can happen "IF" I let it.

Aside from the grammatical error, there were several copyright issues. I mean, the shirt looked fine. But you used copyrighted images, which could get you into trouble.

People here were just looking out for you when they brought that up.

Miss Pennywise that was my issue with it, there was nothing wrong with the shirt, but he used images that are copyrighted to the show.
