2013 BETM Anniversary Show prediction?

Post by tzwicky »

OK, so I'm a bad person and don't read the Forum expansively, but have just spent hours looking through pertinent threads (which seemed to head off the rails as to the predicted 2013 Anniversary date itself) so I'll debase myself and ask, just generally, not to nail anyone down to the supposed and possible "exact date" for this year's Anniversary Show, but I'd be interested what the various predicted dates are in 2013 as to when this year's "special" (well, any date where my butt is sat in the VPT is a very special night for me) show might be.

This seemed a likely way to get a date, even though I nearly never start a thread for anything. But I didn't see an answer anywhere else, unless I missed it, so when might the 2013 Anniversary Show for BETM happen?

Debasement complete. Anyone? Ideas? Posits? Assumptions? Dates?

No drama is necessary, other than a date and the reason someone thinks it might be "THE" date.

Many predictions from many fans are more fun than me trying to figure it out for myself.

But .... no teasing the old fart. Really, if you have a reasonable prediction and an explanation for the date(s), it would be very helpful.

May 12 is a Sunday, so it won't be on the actual date. That is not a prediction. ;)

I'm betting on Saturday, May 11th but just to be on the safe side I've also bought a ticket for Monday, May 13th :D

Yes, but...

Might they move it to March or later in May? It's been known to happen? :(

I have NOT purchased any tickets yet, but I would love to come to London for the 8th celebration... Since it is costly, I would love to get the date right!

The 5th Birthday show was moved but this was due to the fact that Elton John was attending and the Cannes Film Festival was taking place on May 12th.

In 2012 the 7th birthday show took place on May 12th but no special guests were there. The theatre did allow us to take photos after the chair lift though.

The Gala performance on May 30th, 2012, was a celebration of the 3,000th show, the Queen's Jubilee and the then forthcoming London Olympics.

I cannot see any reason why the 8th Birthday show will not be on either May 11th or the 13th - but at the end of the day, what the hell do I know :D

I've been visiting London in May for many years, so special show or not, whether it be the 11th, the 13th or not at all, I'll be there from the 8th - 16th. (and I know I'll have a great time. :D )

Well, I made the same call as Mr Whiz and booked seats for Saturday & Monday (I'm thinking Saturday will be the official day).

But I must confess to a most heinous crime.............I'm cheating on Billy and going to see Les Mis for the first time on the Friday :shock: Will I be forgiven :(

My understanding is that the BBSC (Billy Behavioural and Standards Committee) has no objections whatsoever to members attending other great shows but any Member exiting by the front of Victoria Station and TURNING RIGHT faces disciplinary action. ;)

Enjoy Les Mis.
