Anyways, I like the singing, but I assume there won't be a cast recording either. Could anyone from italy be so sweet and write and post some of the lyrics? I sounded out only few words. Like from Electricity:" ... sono libero, sono io cosi."

Here is a trailer https://youtu.be/urzXyBqyVYc
in this phase the show is in programming until May 24, should be changed the title of this topic.

ELECTRICITY:

(the first lines from ' i can't really explain it ' to 'disappear' missing from the video)

Sento un fremito, come un fuoco brucia in me
mi ritrovo a fare cose che non ho fatto mai
ad un tratto spicco il volo, fiero come un re
mi sento i brividi, pura energia
sono libero, sono io così.

Sfogo tutta la mia rabbia, la paura che c'è in me
più giù di qui non so che cosa c'è
è come quando piangi, perché mamma non c'è più
e ti chiedi come mai non è con te

E dentro la mia testa è solo melodia
ma non sento, resto attonito, la musica è magia

Scoppia un gran calore, come un fuoco brucia in me
mi ritrovo a fare cose che non ho fatto mai
ad un tratto spicco il volo, fiero come un re
mi sento i brividi, pura energia
sono libero, sono io così.

Sento i brividi, pura energia
sono io così, si, così.
Found some more lines in an article:
http://www.ilvelino.it/it/article/2015/ ... 8d332dae6/
“In un istante è tutto magia, e dentro la mia testa è solo melodia, grido e volo via.

Sento un fremito, un fuoco brucia in me. Mi ritrovo a fare cose che non avevo fatto mai. Ad un tratto spicco il volo (…) Sono libero, sono io così”

Here is a video (in Italian) of an interview with a theatre-goer, who just happens to be Vladimir Viktorovich Vasiliev, a Russian ballet dancer, who was principal dancer with the Bolshoi Ballet:

The Italian version is my second favourite after the Icelandic one so I decided to go back to Rome to see the show two more times, unfortunately the website does not work for me. I tried the best seat and the choose seat options and tried in different browsers, but I only got error messages :(

Could you please check if it's working for you?

It's ok on mine - firefox, however since windows 10 launch last week there have been numbers of updates to flash, adobe, and practically anything else that worked. (Youtube-html5 on firefox is still dodgy without a flash add on). It may be an update you are due to be sent soon or it may be their system is not updated to yours.

So it appears that either we had the dates for the run of this production wrong, or it extended because of great popularity.

I see that it will end in Rome on October 18, and then play other cities. So it will become a touring version starting on November 3rd in Florence, and continuing on to Milan and Sassari.

I wonder if there will be new Billys and Michaels added.

I have changed the title of the section and threads to reflect this new reality.

By the way, I had no trouble with the ticketing link using Chrome.
