Billy Elliot the Forum

Mitchell makes his final performance as Billy Elliot tonight. Break a leg, Mitchell.

Great photo David! Unfortunate we could not have a countdown, but at least we have your traditional final day photo. Congratulations to Mitchell on a job well done!

As we draw closer to the hour for curtain up on Mitchell's final show as Billy, I just want to say Well Done on your impressive run as Billy, Mitchell. Knock 'em dead this evening!

It’s looks as though you will be packing your bags in haste,
to return to your beloved home in the United States.
So your International tour as Billy is coming to a close Mitchell Tobin,
what a credit to your family and country you’ve certainly been.
I don’t want this to sound to daft and silly,
but you’ve been a wonderful enthusiastic Billy.
At least when you played Michael,
you didn’t fall of that rotten old bicycle.
We have all loved and are proud of having you over here,
to this Mitch “I Wish you all the Best and Good Cheer”

Mitchell has been an amazing dancer, actor, singer and Billy across America, through Canada, down to Brazil and, for the past eight months, in London. I recall seeing him for the first time in Clearwater in late January 2013; then in Jacksonville, Naples, West Palm Beach (his backyard), Schenectady and Hartford. When he 'disappeared' from view last September, I knew he was in London, and I spotted him at the VPT with his mom in early October. Then I had the good fortune of seeing him perform a further number of times in London. He may not quite be the Billy I have seen the most times, but in terms of seeing him in such wildly different places, he certainly is number one!

Best wishes for a wonderful final show, and safe travels home, Mitch. You have been a credit to your family, your boxing gloves, and the fine traditions of BETM!

The only Billy to play the role in four countries.

And the only Billy to perform the role on 3 different continents, correct?

That is correct as well.

Someday...all 7
