New here!

Post by SolidarityForever »

Hey there,

I'm a new member but I've been lurking on here for a while haha. I've only seen Billy Elliot The Musical once in September, but have been a fan since the show opened. The only Billy I've seen live was Elliott Hanna, and he was great. :)
I got very excited about the Dutch version of the show because I am Dutch and there's so much out there about the young Billys and so what I wanted to do was put subtitles on some of the Dutch videos for you non-Dutchies on here.

I'm a ballet dancer myself, that must be why I love Billy Elliot so much and really I can't wait until I get the Billy Elliot Live DVD in hands this November so I can watch it all day, every day haha! :D

I should have checked the other topics before I started writing because I have no idea what other people usually write on forums like this. So if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. And I mean, really, don't. If you want to know what my favourite colour is, favourite Harry Potter character, if I smoke cigarettes, if I'm afraid of spiders... You ask, I answer!

Lots of love and talk to you all on the boards!!

Welcome Liza! How long have you been ballet-ing?

Welcome aboard Liza! I for one would very much welcome subtitles on some of the Dutch videos! That is quite an undertaking, but one that would be much appreciated by many of us on the forum who don't speak Dutch.

So I have a question for you... How is it that you have been a fan of the show since it opened and you have only just seen it this year? How did you find out about it?

Thanks and enjoy the show and the forum!

Well I lived in The Netherlands and just had no money to go to either London or New York at the time. I was a fan of the film and always looked up clips and things online so back in 2005 I found out about the musical and have dreamt of going there ever since. All I knew from the show was from YouTube clips. So guess what the first thing was I did when I moved to London :mrgreen:
