It’s Day 16 of the Photo Countdown and it wouldn’t be complete without the Resident Musical Director, Chris Hatt, making an appearance. I’m not sure how long Chris has been with Billy Elliot but he was certainly there when I started going regularly in early 2007. I like that he has tweaked the music over the years and not let it go stale. With Chris in the photo is the ever popular Barnaby Meredith who is now in the BETM UK Tour. This photo was taken outside the Victoria Palace Theatre after the 8th Birthday Show on May 11th, 2013.

It’s Day 15 of the Photo Countdown and this group of ex-Billys need no introduction. There are flocks of birds and shoals of fish. I wonder what a group of Billys is called? A pirouette of Billys or an Electricity? Any more suggestions? For the uninitiated, if there are any out there, the names are L to R: Ryan Collinson, Aaron Watson, Scott Mckenzie, Kaine Ward, Dean McCarthy, Josh Baker, Ali Rasul and George Maguire. This photo was taken after the Billy Elliot Live practice run on Saturday, September 27th, 2014.

There’s 2 weeks until the fateful day which means its Day 14 of the Photo Countdown. Today it’s the turn of the wonderful Gillian Elisa who, as we all know, plays Grandma. Gillian is brilliant in the role and is right up there with the legendary Ann Emery. She is always happy to chat with the fans, which is appreciated. Gillian was born and bred in Wales and has been a regular figure on Welsh speaking television as well as making albums of new and traditional Welsh songs.

It’s Day 13 of the Photo Countdown and we have the first appearance of the brilliant Brad Wilson. Brad was in the show for nearly 12 months and during his tenure he proved very popular with the fans. I was fortunate to be at his opening and closing nights and a few in between as well. This photo was taken after his opening night on December 1st, 2008.
