Hello from Czech republic

I think that it is time to say hello also from me.
My story with Billy Elliot is quite simple. I am fan of musicals, but I dont have so much chances to see so many musicals live, usually 2-3 per year. Until last May I have almost never heard about Billy Elliot. I knew nothing about the film and knew only some basic things that there is Billy Elliot musical. By coincidence I have received copy of Billy Elliot LIVE and in one free boring afternoon at the end of May 2015 I have watched it... ...it is really difficult to express the feeling thereafter, but I have fallen into the world of BE very easily. Since that I have started to read all things about the musical, watching the videos and I have also found this forum and followed it almost every day. And as I like "quick decision" actions, I have organised small trip to London to see the city (for first time) and also the musical. It was not easy due to time schedule of me and my friends, but everything went perfect and I have been able to attend performance last Friday. Of course, live performance is always better than DVD, especially due to all emotions which are on the stage and in auditorium. It was really great show and it really hit into the heart not only me, but also my friends, which I brought to the theatre (they are not so big fans of musicals).
All in all, it was quite expensive trip for us, but I dont regret the time and money which I spent for this trip. And now, one week after performance, I still cannot get the positive feeling from the performance out of my mind...
I hope I will be able to return back to London to see the performance once again before VPT will be closed for renovations...
