Billy Elliot the Forum

Absolute fantastic last show Joanna - you were fab. Got a massive applause in the finale. Good luck to whatever you do next. Lov Nic xxx

I spoke to Joanna when she left the after show party this morning. She told me she is going to be a mum for a while. I can understand that as you don't get a second chance to see your children grow up.

Thankyou for you wonderful portrayal of Mrs.W.
You have been fantastic and will be missed.

Joanna was all shades of awesome during her last two performances. I cherished every moment of them, she will be sadly missed.

Was nice to meet some of the Board members too.

Sounds like we've all been promoted!

Also, from reading the mixed reviews from the past view days it looks like we're really missing Jo Riding. Fancy a change of heart Jo?

Sad as it is when you get attached to one member of the cast and then have to learn to accept a new person in the role when that person leaves, that's the way it is. I wish Jo Riding all the best for taking some time off to be a mother. She deserves it.

Oh Jo, Jo, Jo! Understand you need to give time for your family now but that doesn't stop us missing you like h*ll.

Saw the newly revised show last night with the new Mrs W!!!!! Say no more!

Do you mean the new show is bad or the new Mrs W, or both?

To stay according to the topic, Jo I absolutely loved your Mrs W when I saw you back in October. Your relationship with Brad's Billy was extraordinary, magical.

The new show is certainly not bad (I will always love it to bits!)although I am not at ease with some of the new elements in Act I.
I'm sure in time Genevieve will grow on me

Ahhh good good, I see. Sorry 'bad' was a wrong choice of word, I meant causing you to feel this way.
