Some videos, embedded within articles, interviewing the Billys and Anna-Jane Casey.

Fast forward to 5 minutes point - unless you are interested in the local Hamburg news !

Tonight (Thursday) is the effective premiere - last night, Wednesday, was a "dry run" with a selected audience.

A short video of the Hamburg premiere night - it is possible to obtain an automatic translation to English or most other languages, but the accuracy is a bit questionable

Another video:

At last there are now some video clips of the tour cast in action. Glad to see Adam and Samuel are back, but Adam hasn't been seen in the first 3 shows.

Regarding, the earlier posted videos - there seems to be a lot of people in the audience recording on their phones unlike the UK. (There are now a couple of short videos from the Liverpool Empire on YouTube)

A "bits and pieces" video, just under 5 minutes, with Haydn, Adam, Jamie Bell and Stephen Daldry - excerpts from BETM and the film. No automatic translation available.

You should have seen Sao Paulo - they didn't care what you filmed with, they just wanted more food/drink orders during the shows!

They know how to make a Billy promo video in Hamburg!! A long 9 mins with all the Billys and Michaels in rehearsal backstage and on stage at the Mehr Theatre.
I'm looking forward to meeting German fans on the final weekend July 22-23

I'm taking off Wednesday for my last Billython. Seeing Thu, Fri and both shows Sunday (I'm visiting friends in Hanover on Saturday). Sad to think this will be the last fully professional English language production I will see for the foreseeable future.

Much as I would have liked to be there the last weekend, as I was in Sao Paulo for the US tour, my schedule wouldn't allow it.

Great audience tonight - very reactive. It is very evident that English is widely understood as the reactions come before the translations are projected. Aside from the usual, everyone was standing before grandma took her bow. I'm in Hanover tomorrow, so Sunday will be my last two show. :cry:
