Billy Elliot the Forum

Hi

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT, SCOTT "ALL THE BEST"

Barry

I will wish you good luck and NOT break a leg after the potential diaster that almost befell Rhys on the rising bed recently.

And Scott, don't be upset at what little Nathan my son said to you on Saturday outside the pub

When he said "Good luck you'll need it" he meant something entirely different (I think), although I haven't quite worked it out yet.

Just seen the clock and you should be hopscotching across the floor right now and the start of a great Billy career.

Break a leg Scott

But not literally, of course as Alex mentioned!

Have a great show tonight and hopefully I will catch you in a couple of weeks!

I don't know about the British tradition, but in the US it is considered BAD luck in the theatre to be wished GOOD luck on opening night, so that is how "Break a leg" came to be.

I think it's the same in the english speaking world, even though I'm not a native speaker of course, which is why I didn't dare wish "good luck" to Scott. Ooops now I jinx it

Yes it is the same in the United Kingdom.

Well Scott's first show should be over now and it's time to move him into Present Cast.

Interesting that he started tonight, since there hadn't been any mention of him recently. I guess I figured a new Billy wouldn't start until Ollie finished.

In addition, there has been no advance publicity about Scott's starting either.

Scott was surprised we knew his start date when we wished him luck on Saturday.

Now where are the reviews. I've been waiting all night
