Except in London, where so far, every departing Billy has received proper recognition.

Yes, but apparently that practice is reserved for the "mother church" only.

For the sake of not getting disappointed every time I think yes we need to finally accept all we are going to get here is the name change, and may I add even that hasn't been done 100% of the time. Even London traditions arnt ALL done for every show ( that is the in show changes) depends on the Mrs W/Debbie/ dead Mom I think deciding to hug Billy or not,never saw all 3 done.

I agree Steven.

I must say though that I have never seen Dead Mum hug Billy at the Victoria Palace and Billy and Michael have not used their own names at the end of the show for quite a while now - which, I think, is a shame. :(

Yes, I've heard that the traditional farewell song that the cast sings to the departing actors is "Happy Trails."
