Re: 10th Birthday Show
Ann was there, but I was surprised about how so few of the forty Billy's turned up. I didn't see any of the original three up on the stage, and even recent Billy's like Ali, Harrison and Mitchell were not there! Still a great night though.Todd wrote:I thought the same thing about Ann Emery . . . too bad she couldn't have been in the 10 year anniversary show. Wonder if she at least attended the performance ?Bridget40 wrote:Great show/celebration all round..... I can imagine how disappointing it might have been for Matteo and Elliott to leave the company so close to the 10th birthday, so I think it was a fantastic gesture to include them in the show.

It's not very good quality, but I appreciate that they wanted to give something to each patron to keep it along with the memory of a great night.jen wrote:I understand that there were special programmes for the day what were they like? Are there any spare one

I have no doubt any ex-Billys who are currently 15.5/16 years old or 17.5/18 years decided their GCSE or A-level exams took priority, especially on a week day, (unless they were fairly local).

Re: 10th Birthday Show
I guess the same may be true for someone like Trent, right in the midst of end-of-year studies at Princeton. Corey and Tade were able to get over, but others not so easily. As has always been the case with theatre, and especially Billy Elliot, there are so many logistics to consider regarding "children" (in this case I extend that to still-school-age former Billys).Borrobil wrote:It is exam season in the UK from ~8th May to ~2nd week in June.

Plenty of x Michaels there on Tuesday, I saw Reece Barrett, Thomas Moore, Zack Atkinson, Zak Baker, Connor Kelly and Brad Kavanagh and I believe plenty more.

Looks like that was Thomas Hazelby, based on pants he's wearing in this pic from the BETM Facebook page:Borrobil wrote:Some great photos and write up in Broadway world. Who's getting caked by Josh, Ryan and :twisted:Deano.

(and because he's little and easily lift-up-able?)

Re: 10th Birthday Show
These are the clearest photos I have seen showing 16 former Billys, not counting Liam and Layton who arrived later.
