The first time seeing the show (by pure chance in my case) with Leon Cooke as Billy blowing a full house away.
My first “last night” experience - Leon and Sally. I couldn’t believe the atmosphere in the theatre that night. Afterwards, outside in Allington Street, maniacal bus drivers and taximen doing their best to mow down the milling fans outside the stage door. Paul still in his priestly robes having rushed down to the theatre from a gathering.
The legendary combo of Fox and his Dad outside.
The scramble for tickets for last nights with Forum members who heard it first keeping the news to themselves until they had got their own tickets

The shock and sadness of the untimely passing of the lovely Romy and little Charlotte.
The pensioners Thursday Matinee regular gathering. Many, sadly, no longer with us.
Ollie Taylor’s incredibly emotional last night that has never been equalled.
The excitement and atmosphere of the Birthday shows.
The night the newly just chosen Broadway Billys (including Trent who was already in the London show) came on stage at the VPT before that great adventure began.
The legend that a Forum member was asked to move from his seat – to accommodate the Queen.
The Billy Youth Gala show and its emotional Finale when the entire cast of how many? (hundreds) of children spread all around the theatre as well as on stage sang a rousing Electricity.
I’m sure others will have more.
