Your very welcome! I was very curious about it so I decided to go down and see what was up.

Saw both shows today... really, really enjoyed doing it.
It was two totally different shows, though, so it was not repetitive in the least bit.

While it was wonderful seeing Haydn back at night, I couldn't shake the feeling of how much pain she's in. She really should continue to be out, however, with Leah out this week, that puts lots of stress of Jayne.

Oh, and Jayne by the way, made up half the lyrics to Shine today...woopsie.

OH AND I FINALLY GOT TO SEE TOMMY. He was so goooood. Definitely enjoyed him more than I thought I would.

"Thanks for double checking that, bwaygirl. I got the txt from someone at the board around 1:00, so it must have been changed between then and showtime. They like keeping us on our toes... :) "

C'est moi! My eyes must have been playing tricks on me. Sorry folks.

I have tickets for tonight and bringing a BE virgin. Anyway, I wonder whether there's any chance David is back as Billy. ')

Tonight was # 16 :) This was second time seeing David for me. (Trent 5x, Kiril 4x, Tommy 4x, and once with Liam Mower in London) He did really well, the only modification I noticed was a turn sequence instead of a jump sequence during Electricity.

An eventful show tonight. Firstly, it's so great to see David again. The last time I saw him as Billy was back in Nov.

So during the boxing scene when Michael punches Billy, I think David's glove dealt a hard blow to his mic coz it was a loud sound and at the end of the scene (when he picks up the keys), instead of the ballet girls running in, someone offstage called David's name and he exited. They made an announcement that they were experiencing technical difficulties and brought the curtain down. After a few minutes, the show restarted with David kicking up the keys again. To applause.

Then at the beginning of the second half, the lights dimmed and there was an announcement that George was to be played by Jamie Torcellini instead.

Finally, during the finale dance when David was leading the girls then boys in turn, he yelled out "Come on! I haven't done this in while! Here we go!" It was really nice to see how happy he was to be back.

Oh, I thought it was mic-related coz right after the punch, I could see Hadyn peeking out from the curtain at stage right. Whatever it was, at least it didn't take long to fix.
