I am new here...well I was part of the original forum years and years back. I am from Ireland and have seen the show in London countless times. I remember it during the early days with Liam and George and James and Leon.
I am just wondering if anyone remembers the large glossy signed posters you could get from the Victoria Palace theatre? I have recently re-discovered my collection of theatre treasures...and among many was a large tube containing 4 Special Edition Billy posters with a photograph of each of the 4 boys, take by David Scheinmann...Liam, Leon, James and George...personally signed.
I was also delighted to find many....MANY programs from different shows....some regular....some special.....some signed. I never realized how much stuff I used to collect. Seeing Liam recently in Swan Lake was amazing. It truly felt amazing to imagine that humble young boy when he started his journey as Billy and see the amazing dancer he still is today!
I unearthed two copies of the Billy Elliot Through The Lens book.....one containing a hand written letter from Liam...a thank you for a scarf I sent him for Christmas all those years back.
Well I was wondering if this continued for all the Billy boys since....or was this idea discontinued?
I have not been to see the show in a few years now...and I hold fond memories of my time in London and sometimes seeing a couple of shows in one visit.
......who knows what more I will find
