Special Halloween Warm-Up

Post by ERinVA »

On Friday evening, the kids in the BETM London cast did their warm-up in costume:

Who is "Captain Hook", about to skewer Small Boy with the sabre?? A Tall Boy? Where's the night's Billy?

(Delighted to see, again, an indication that the people in charge CARE about the kids, are prepared to suffer the inconvenience to provide more for the kids lives than the work. I bet it was a hassle, for instance, for the make-up people to get rid of the night's first makeup before setting about applying the Billy makeup!)

It's a cute pic and all (plus the other one in the album) and it's on the official site and all, but if they cut the kids some slack to be kids I feel it is a little bit intrusive to be looking in on their private (posed) enjoyment; kind of like I would if they were pictured celebrating someone's birthday or were attending a wrap party. Fail to see how this directly relates to the actors' professional careers... unless some of them wish to work in horror films ;-)

The London company posted it as publicity. The photos were obviously posed and taken for that purpose. We aren't looking at someone's individual instagram or twitter feed, or casual photos/videos of personal moments here. I realize that we have strongly discouraged linking those kinds of posts on here, but in my opinion, this does not fall into that category. It is publicity put out there by the company itself, and as such, it is okay to post on here.
