Olly was an AWESOME Billy in my opinion. His portrayal was very different than many of the others...to me his Billy appeared vulnerable, troubled, angry and confused. He was extremely convincing and personally I feel he was equally as good a singer and dancer as the 'award' winning Liam Mower!!

My most memorable Olly moment has to be his 'Letter Reprise' on his final night.

Could this be a contender for the most emotional and heart-breaking moment in BETM history? I think so!

All the best for the future Olly.

Great to see you again in London recently too! ;)

Olly was an amazing Billy and I still cry when I hear his letter reprise - those you tube links we all love :lol: :lol:

He never failed to deliver a great show and he gave such a different portrayal from all the other Billy's at the time.
I really miss him as Billy but having seen him at Layton's last show, I have had to accept that he would not be convincing now - he has grown into a very mature young man but could not pass for 12 or 13 by any stretch of the imagination.

Olly you were a wonderful Billy and one of the reasons I went back again and again to see the show. :D :D

I want to thank Ellen (ERinVA) who (once again) helped me with some English language problems in a new section of my essay (it was not easy even for her (and she is profi!) as some trademark sentences were as long and convoluted as an anaconda of good size). Although, continuing to tinker with the text, I did my best to add some new mistakes...

Yay Olly! I get so happy when the kids continue to excel in their dancing post-Billy!

Should someone merge this thread with the other Olly thread to keep it all clean?
