Well, I didn't think it possible for yet another take on Posh Dad but, having seen Tim in both shows on Thursday, he has done it superbly. Looking forward to more of the same today.

Thanks to David for all the fun and laughter and congratulations and good luck in the new role.

Very cool ! I was hoping he would work his way into playing Tony at some point (although I thought he was also great as the posh dad). Hopefully the long-term plan is for him to take over the role on a regular basis, as I thought he made a very good Tony when I saw him play that part in London.

Tim is my favorite posh dad of all time, but he is way too old to be Tony, as is Cullen Titmas. It is ridiculous to have a Tony who is 20-25 years older than Billy.

This has never been an issue for me ... I think they both look pretty young.

Just thought I would point out something that was brought to my attention in Sao Paulo - Tim has been performing in Billy Elliot since 2005! Sunday night was the end of a looong journey for him! Thanks so much Tim for all your contributions to BE on multiple continents!!!

I was not sure that Tim was going to Brazil. Glad to hear that he was there. Yes, he started with the cast of the London show in 2005. That is an impressive run! :D
