Final show 7 November

[DenP]

Today was announced that the final show in Scheveningen is scheduled for 7 November at 7.30 PM.

It's indeed official...
A link to a news article in Dutch:

Great proud words from the director of Stage Entertainment, who made the production of the show possible.
The picture in the article is from the recent Uitmarkt performance with Sammy Kuit as Billy and the Metropole Orchestra in the back.

I'm actually surprised it's so soon, I thought tickets were on sale for dates until the end of November.
I wonder if anyone bought a ticket for a show after 7 November?

So, anyway - who's going to the final show? It will be a memorable night for sure!

I was on holiday in London when it was announced. But I managed the get a ticket. I just had to be there for the very last show.

Beauty and the Beast starts playing at the AFAS Circustheater on December 3. You can now book tickets.

Word is going around social media that all 12 former and current Billys will take part somehow in the final performance.

This video shows a bit of rehearsal with the current six. The caption translates to "Billy's preparing for special finale".

And here are all twelve:

The video in the link is (obviously) in Dutch. The adult in it (I am 99% sure it is Jeroen Luiten, the resident choreographer who also appeared numerous times in the 'Van Auditie tot Applaus' series a year ago), tells us that there will be two 'extra items' at the end of the last show on 7 November.
There will be a full version of 'Electricity' with all 12 Billy's (presumably something like the 'mash up' after the 'premiere' on 30 November last year) plus a version of 'Expressing yourself' including 6 Billy's and 6 Miachael's.

I certainly hope that these will be recorded and put on You Tube as was done last year.

Welcome to the forum, htcpt.

We certainly hope the Dutch company will post them. I expect they will.

I've got tickets for both performances on the 7th. Any tips for places to eat in the Hague or for meeting the cast mbch331??
Thanks, Paul

There are restaurants in the theatre building and there are many cosy restaurants at the beach and some in a mall that have see view. I'm shure you'll find one you like. The cast sometimes poses in the foyer, the stagedoor is in the back/side street. Just walk out the main entrance, pass the BILLY letters and turn right. Normally the cast is transferred back to Amsterdam with a Billy bus parked in view from the main entrance.

So excited that I managed to get a ticket for the 7th. It will be a special night for sure!

There are currently discount codes being sold online (via Marktplaats - sorry if it's wrong to advertise on the forum, that's not my intent!). These are codes that were given to subscribers to a Dutch television magazine, who have decided they will pass this code on for a small fee in return. That's how I was able to get 25 euros off of the original price for a 1st class seat. Maybe worth checking out for those who still want a ticket.
There was also a "2 tickets for 1" sale going from the official ticket sales agency (though not for the final show) but that seems to have stopped...
