10th Birthday Show

[kport]

The Stage sums it up perfectly:

Verdict

One of the greatest British stage musicals of the last 30 years has plenty to celebrate as it reaches its 10th anniversary.

Five Stars

It was a brilliant show. The Victoria Palace was packed with fans, former cast members, and others connected with the show over the years. Former Billys came from as far away as Australia (Josh D.) and the US (Corey and Tade).

So wish I could have made it over

What a nice anniversary celebration! Great idea to invite the past ballet girls and the two recent boys to take part in the show.
And what a brilliant idea to share the show between the 6 boys.
It was a great show, congratulations to the whole cast and hope to see the show on the 20th anniversary as well

Should have organised some work over here. It was great to be at the celebration.

Great show/celebration all round..... I can imagine how disappointing it might have been for Matteo and Elliott to leave the company so close to the 10th birthday, so I think it was a fantastic gesture to include them in the show. I would have loved to have been closer to the action, and at 6ft 4, my husband found those seats nearly impossible to sit in. I also could have done without Lee Halls party political broadcast at the beginning, but other than that..... What a perfect night for Billy fans!

I understand that there were special programmes for the day what were they like? Are there any spare one at the theatre that I could purchase? Do hope everyone had a great time. Planned to go then didn't get around to buying a ticket then had Kidney stones and I am back at work now but not doing much in the evening so in the end didn't feel so bad about not getting a ticket!

Are you talking about the free programme that was on the seats as you arrived? If so, there's not much to it. Two pages with all forty Billy's on it, and then a few more pages about how Billy has played in other countries. It's not worth buying to be honest. I think I have a copy indoors...... It's a bit scrumpled.

Some great photos and write up in Broadway world. Who's getting caked by Josh, Ryan and :twisted:Deano.

I thought the same thing about Ann Emery . . . too bad she couldn't have been in the 10 year anniversary show. Wonder if she at least attended the performance ?
