Anniversary Show

Post by dwallen »

Is there any information about this year's Anniversary Show - date etc. Last year it was in March but we know that sometimes it is later. I am anxious to make the necessary arrangements to be there, whenever it is.

Thanks

Actually last year it was on May 12th.

The 5th Birthday show in 2010 was held on March 31st. Elton John and Stephen Daldry were attending the 5th Birthday show and couldn't be there on May 12th because it was also the date of the Cannes Film Festival. It was moved to March 31st which was the date of the first preview in 2005.

I would assume that this year it will be on May 12th - or at least I hope so as that is the date I have a ticket for :D As we all know though nothing is definite as far as BETM is concerned :D

Next year will have everybody guessing though as May 12th is on a Sunday ;)

I have merged this with the thread that was already started about the same question so that we don't end up with duplicates.

Yes, if they do anything special, I am reasonably sure they will do it at the evening show, as other anniversary shows have all been evening shows.

Thanks for reminding me that last year's show was on May 12th not in March I was thinking about the year before. I hope they will celebrate on that date as I am about to book two tickets and change my plans that weekend. Still, I know that nothing is certain but I think I will take the risk.

At least "broadwayworld.com" mentiones that the 7th Anniversary show will be in May again in its article on the start of Harris Beattie:
...will join the West End cast of Billy Elliot the Musical which celebrates 7 years in at the Victoria Palace Theatre in May.
http://westend.broadwayworld.com/articl ... t-20120222

And as the Cannes Film Festival this year only starts on 16 May, even some prominent guests could make it to the VPT to celebrate the 7th Birthday show on 12 May evening! Just that "7" is not a very specific date - so we might see Sir Elton, Stephen Daldry and Lee Hall only back on stage at the 10th anniversary show or so...
But the 7th Anniversary show will surely be a very special one - like nearly all the others had been.
“It is a great show that people do come and see. Because it's not
just a show for adults, or just for children, or just for people that
like theatre, I'd say for everyone, and it's got so much emotion
behind it. Because who ever comes and sees it, feels the story -
so I think: it's brilliant!" (GM)

I really have no idea when the 7th Anniversary show will be celebrated but I feel so lucky that I was there for the 6th Anniversay show on 12th May 2011. What an honour it was. Anyone who can get to these anniversary show should. It is a great experience. But, I know so many of you already know this.
Cheers

Brad
