Billy Elliot the Forum

Just to tell everybody who contributed to Phil's leaving present that he felt very humble when he saw the flowers waiting for him in his dressing room. We also presented him with a Roberts DAB radio at the stage door after the show. He asked me to thank everybody for thinking of him.

Phil
You have been an absolute legend in the show Phil. Don’t think I’ve ever met someone as versatile as you – being so fantastic in so many different roles.
I once saw you as Dad, and have to be honest and say it was the best portrayal of Dad I’ve seen – your performance totally blew me away. Good luck with the panto in Milton Keynes

A big thank you to David and anyone else involved in organising the collections for Ann and Phil – what a lovely idea and both seemed really touched by the thought. Cheers guys Lov Nic xx

Loved all your performances, and will miss you very much, whatever role! I feel so lucky that i got to see you as Dad twice, it was such a moving portrayal, absolutely fantastic xxxx

In that same article linked in Barnaby's thread it says the great and versatile Phil Snowden (who played everyone but Billy, LOL) is returning in May as well. After his last night I recall him saying outside afterwards, jokingly, "I'll be back".

Yes! This makes me very happy!

Anyone sussed out who he'll play? If he's subing for Dad, I'd book for that.

My guess is that he will be part of the ensemble, as before, and cover a multitude of parts, also as before.

The man has probably played every principal adult male role in the show at one time or another, except for Older Billy. He is truly Mr. Versatility.

Phil Snowden is the show's new full-time Mr. Braithwaite: http://billyelliotthemusical.com/cast/david-muscat/
