It sucks for me because I live in NC and our PBS isn't showing it. Could someone possibly record it and upload it online for me and, I guess, the others out there who won't be able to view it? Thanks :}

Seeing the show tonight...I have been listening to the cast recording non-stop for the past few days. I appreciate the score a lot more having seen it multiple times. "Shine" and "Electicity" are my favorites to listen to, but the Swan Lake ballet is the best part of the show in my opinion. When I saw it last Tuesday, I was in tears...and I'm sure I will be in tears again tonight. Can't wait.

Put me on the David Alvarez band wagon...he was truly brilliant tonight!!! The show was on fire. I am predicting Tony wins for the Billys (obvious), Hadyn Gwynn and Greg Jbara. I love this show so much and can't wait to see it again!

Saw this glorious musical for a second time last night. My first time seeing David Alvarez and he is a wonderful actor. He adds a poignancy to the show that elevates it to an even higher level. A performance to treasure.

Does anybody know who went on as Billy on Sunday and today? Was it Kiril and Trent, respectively? It seems as though there is the pattern of Trent, David, Kiril...

re: The Billy Elliot Love Thread

Posted: 12/9/08 at 11:34pm

yeah, Kiril was on Sunday, and that is the order it has been.

Thanks, sgv123. That means, if everything goes liek that the next coupel weeks and I have counted right, I SHOULD be seeing David, but from what I hear, it doesn't really matter which boy I see...I can't imagine being half as talented as any of them...

Please don't hate me for asking the same question as the others, but anyone know who was Billy last night?

Thanks for the info. & Happy Friday to all!

Well, Kiril was Billy for the 12/10 evening show (he was amazing btw), so 12/11 was probably Trent. Someone else could confirm though.
