Re: Barnaby Meredith
I agree with both your sentiments, and especially your praise for Deka. Personally, I would rate Rich Hebert on a par with him - both ARE Billy's dad.MsRF wrote:As someone who has fairly recently fallen under the Billy Elliot spell, I'm so happy about this!
I have heard heaps of praise for Barnaby from loads of people so I'm delighted to be able to see him perform - particularly as I bagged a ticket a while ago for Saturday 10th and Monday 12th, knowing that it was going to be a very eventful group of shows.
Also delighted, although this isn't in his thread, that Deka is staying on as dad. I can't really imagine anyone else playing the role as perfectly as he does.

A Message from the Victoria Palace. says Barnaby played the Scottish Dancer in today's matinee.
Is it a first time for him?

I've certainly never seen Barnaby play the Scottish Ballet dancer before Barry, despite the number of times I've seen the show.Barry Appleby wrote:A Message from the Victoria Palace. says Barnaby played the Scottish Dancer in today's matinee.

Re: Barnaby Meredith
I think it was Barnaby playing the Scottish dancer at today's matinee.....unfortunately his mic was not working, so the dialogue with Dad in that scene was not heard by many beyond the first rows. It flustered him a bit - quite understandably. I detected a rather non-Glaswegian accent; at least not the usual overly-accentuated accent we are accustomed too.
His - and Bradley's - Dream Ballet was stunning!

Re: Barnaby Meredith
Barnaby was the Scottish Dancer - from Sheffield, he said. (thing is, is he Wednesday or United ?)
I've waited a long time for this day.
