Hi, it's my first time here

Post by Flyin high »

Hello everyone
I've been lurking on the forum ever since my first BETM show with Matteo Zecca back in Feb. I've always been a fan of musicals, but never have I left a show feeling like I did after Billy. It resonated with me on so many levels, and moved me more than I thought a show could! I've been to see the show twice more since then (seeing Brodie and Ollie). The 2nd of those was last night with Ollie and I finally felt inspired to join the forum. I'm planning to write a review of last night's show as it left me feeling so uplifted and put a big smile on my face....But just wanted to say hi first!

Thank you for the welcomes. I've tried to put my finger on the reasons why I was so captivated by this particular show. Recently losing a parent, and also being Mum to a young boy have something to do with the emotional connection...as well as having danced myself. But I was just so in awe of the amount of time that Billy's are on the stage, and the amount of stage direction, lines and routines they have to remember at such a young age. Ultimately it's the laughter and the tears (in equal measure) that this story evokes. Gets me every time!!

On another note, I wrote quite a long review last night which hasn't appeared in the reviews thread this morning. Did I post it incorrectly? Or perhaps it's awaiting moderation?

Welcome to the forum Flyin high.

All of the Billy's are outstanding but every so often you see a show which is for some reason extra special. Sounds like you witnessed one of those shows. Look forward to reading your review.

I'm glad you got to see Matteo before he left.

Enjoy your time here.

Yes, it was awaiting moderator approval. It's there now.

As with all new members, your first few posts have been pre-moderated.
