Re: Ballet Girls
Looks like they have altered the ballet girls shifts. They used to do Mon Tue, or Wed and both Thurs or Fri and both Sat
It is a great show that people do come and see. Because it's not
just a show for adults, or just for children, or just for people that
like theatre, I'd say for everyone, and it's got so much emotion
behind it. Because who ever comes and sees it, feels the story -
so I think: it's brilliant!" (GM)

Re: Ballet Girls
Thanks for that. Really interesting article.
I have often wondered about the BG schedules since everytime I do my Billythons they seem to be the same every day and both shows when there are matinees. But the information on this article seems to explain it. Really hard for a young performer if you think that they are on stage for so much of the show! Once again congrats to all the girls!!!jen wrote:Looks like they have altered the ballet girls shifts. They used to do Mon Tue, or Wed and both Thurs or Fri and both Sat

Re: Ballet Girls
I might have this wrong, but am pretty sure that this week its the changeover week for the ballet girls. Some will stay, and some will leave. Good luck to all of you who are moving on - you have all been fab. Enjoy your last shows xx

Re: Ballet Girls
Agree, we have had three awesome teams with very talented girls. Good luck to those girls who are moving on and a big Billy welcome to the new teams who will delight and entertain us all for the coming months.

Re: Ballet Girls
Like many people new to Billy when I first saw the show I tended to overlook the role of the ballet girls in making a good show in to a great show. There is so much going on in their scenes that it is very easy to overlook there very individual parts.
I'm wondering if any of the regulars can help me to shout out to a couple of the ballet girls whose names I don't know but I wanted to thank. On Thursday 23rd the girls playing both Tracy Atkinson and Susan Parkes were excellent. The glowering Tracy and her pies is great fun but the totally fantastic take on Susan Parkes is just brilliant. Her vapid look of bewilderment made me snort with laughter. Really liked her interaction with the punch bag as well!
Great work girls.
