Sat mat was Trent and David B. Just wanted to mention a couple of incidents. First santino dropped his helmet at the biginning of the show and he said "oy", I thought that was cute. Mr Braithewaite, played by Blake this time couldn't get the smoke machine to work during Shine. That was about it. I'm happy to see Haydn back!!! And I actually loved the change they made with the jump rope during Born to Boogie I hope they keep it regardless of Haydn's health. Standing avation after Electricity also. Overall great show today. I enjoyed it more than on other occations still don't know who's performing tonight.

Sparks of Blue----no, that was not the secret. I really don't think it was true anyway.
David A. said he would be going on tomorrow.

Are you 150% positive about David going Sunday the 19th? I thought it would be Kiril because I thought they were working David in slowly again due to his ingury like Hayden.

oh ok. Thanks for your information! I saw it yesterday with Tommy for the first time and although he wasnt that terrible with acting skills I feel his dancing was just not up to par with the others and that disappoints me becasue they should all be amazing leave you speechless ballet dancers and Im sorry but he didnt. I still enjoyed the show though, it is amazing and that Solidarity number gets more amazing everytime I see it. During the performance there were a few mishaps.
1. Frank feel twice during Expressing Yourself, I felt really bad he looked embaressed.
2. Tommy sang the wrong words when he joined the Dad to sing Deep into the Ground.
Thats all really, it wasnt as bad as that time I saw it and there were like 10 things that went wrong!
P.S. To the person who posted mishaps from the Saturday afternoon show, Santino is always cute! =)

Is Tommy still wearing the brace? I saw him last month and he had some dancing problems....so maybe that is kind of holding him back?

Yeah he was wearing the brace and he has been wearing that brace for months. I actually saw Tommy's mother in the audience and we had better seats!

I thought Tommy did a very good job when I saw him on Wednesday. His singing was a little harsh on the higher notes, but to be honest, most of his acting choices are my favorite out of the four.
He only had one mistake, and it was like a half trip/half jump during Electricity. The majority of mistake making that afternoon was by Jayne Patterson.

That's a nice one! The last time I saw the show I tried to get Keean's attention at the stage door but didn't want to come off rude to Frank who I was talking to... so I still haven't met Keean. David's always nice though.

WOW!!! There are some cool nominations there! And looks like the boys get a "Special Achievement" instead of being nominated in an acting category...nice. Congrats to the Billy Elliot cast and crew! They really deserve the noms!

Looks like Frank's run in Billy Elliot might be cut short.

I would love to see him on a weekly television series, but it would be sad if he leaves BE. Maybe they'd just make Keean the second Michael permanently?

Then they would need a new Tall boy, as Tommy can't be both the Tall Boy and Billy.

...so they hire a new Tall Boy. The part is not that big, and probably not that hard to learn.

On Sunday I saw David B and his mom walk away and someone from the cast said to him have a good vacation so hopefully Frank is not leaving soon because Keenan would have to do all shows and that leaves Tommy as the Tall Boy for only 6 of the 8 performances. What happens then?
#223
Posted: 4/20/09 at 8:31pm
I doubt they would let David go on vacation if Frank was leaving.
#224
Posted: 4/20/09 at 8:46pm
He might leave when David B gets back. Ill miss him! =(

If Sons of Tucson is in fact picked up, they probably won't start shooting until July/August, or thereabouts. Usually, TV writers go on vacation from March - June and go back to work in July to start writing the episode scripts. I don't think Frank will be leaving for a while, although he might want to take a little break between Billy & Sons of Tucson. I would say he should be in the show through June, Tony time, would be my guess (if Sons is picked up). Otherwise, I don't see him leaving until he grows out of the role.
