Cheers Pat, that has made my day.
Don't worry folks I won't stop going to Billy, and I won't be selling my tickets this week or start going across the road to Wicked instead
and behaving like a fruit.
That was just me being worked up & frustrated this morning & the old temper getting the better of me when I was thinking about B2B last night.
And you're right Pat, I will think of what I would be missing instead as I have always wanted to run across the road to the VP every time I have seen Wicked. (and before anyone says anything, I think Wicked is a good show, but Billy will always be number 1). In all honesty, it would take a lot more than a change to B2B to make me stop coming to the VP after 5 years.
The comments I made that I hated it is because it really took me by surprise, I was shocked, I didn't expect it, only the cast changes etc.
I did think the Skipping was great actually, a great job by Ollie, Genevieve & Phil, & I'm sure it will result in some funny moments in the future when it does not always go according to plan for the Billys, Mr B or Mrs W.
As JohnCougar has just said, if Stephen Daldry is fine with the changes in the show, then we should be as well.
I will probably warm to B2B eventually, and no doubt I will be made to eat my words.
However, the hand gesture by Billy to Mr B in B2B is unecessary. I think some people could be quite offended by it.
There will be a positive review of Mondays show coming up and my usual infamous long reviews coming up of Saturday night's show
concentrating on the fantastic & phenomenal performance of Tom Holland & the rest of the cast.
As I have said before, keep the reviews coming folks!
Cheers
Keith
