We must've had the same mindset today Paul - I was listening to the whole album again today, from start to finish, and singing and dancing along I so want to see it again!! Some parts still bring tears to my eyes (if I'm tired enough... which I was/am today.. )
Who was on stage this afternoon? Any special reports to share?

Josh Baker was on stage today, he put on a great show, as can be expected of all Billy's, I've seen 4 Billy's now, 3 of them London Billy's. Ryan Collinson, Dean-Charles Chapman and Josh Baker.

I try not to compare of favour any Billy, but if I was asked to choose, it has got to be Ryan, as he is so much more connected with the audience.

Yes I often find myself singing along to a few tracks from the show, last week I had a bit of a Billy day at work where I was trying to quote in situations.

I said to my boss at work "Your very f*****in special, now p**s of before I start to cry."

I got a job wrong and when questioned about it I replied "I can't really explain it. I haven't got the words." He was not so happy that I made a joke out of a serious situation.

Now I've remembered a few more quotes from the show, I might have another Billy day at work next week

How about "Get some earrings, some mascara, heels and a fan, pretty soon you will start to feel a different man"

You can't have coffee with your pasty though - it has to be tea. I think we need to bring BETM back home to the North where it belongs.

Billy Elliot is staying at the VPT where it belongs

How else am I going to get my regular Billy Fix.

Cor blimey - just this afternoon I was wondering if there was any Billy news forthcoming. So the article says he joins the other Billys, does that mean the rest all stay? I bet it will be pretty hard for him and his family but ofcourse a huge chance for him. I'm wondering if he just missed the auditions for Broadway?
Anyway I'm looking forward to a review from either one of you, Paul and Yorkie

Scott leaves 03/09/11. He is the 6th American out of 27 Billy's on the London stage (well one was 50/50 as his dad is a Brit). I think they had a big crop of potentials in North America so rather than turn them down they look to see if they can fit them in else where - not all will be prepared to live on their own in a foreign country at that age.

he has been over here training since April apparently.

Scott is Scottish - Adam is the 27th Billy in London and the 6th American to play the role in the West End

Hi i'm back!

Got my internet connection

Grrrrr!

Just checked VPT and no good seats for 3/9 for Scott's leaving show.
Best I can hope for is to get their early for an A row seat

Don't you get an official Billy fix from the government Paul? I thought you were entitled to one by now...

Here's an old clip of three of the American Billy's rehearsing:

Any news yet on the new London Billy?
