Thank you BILLYFAN for your review and to the others who have posted links. They are very much appreciated.

I'm not sure when I will get to see the tour seeing as my part of the country seems to be "off the radar".

It was an enormous privelege to be present at Press Night which came with much glitter and all four Billys appearing together at the very end.
The packed house was full of highly enthusiastic fans and which would almost certainly have been a first experience of the show for them. I shall not give away any 'spoilers' but I will say that the production is somehow more measured than at the VPT. Not as rapid and slick. Adam was a brilliant young Billy as were his cohorts as has been mentioned in the newspaper reviews. Dad's interpretation was quieter but very effective and, for me, much more agreeable than the rather OOT crotch grabbing scenario we have become used to at the VPT. The performance was highly professional and in no way a dimunition of what we have become used to in London. Stephen Daldry, Lee Hall, Julian Webber and others were there as might be expected for a Press Night. I am sure it will have a highly successful tour. No doubt Pat will give a more wordy review when he is back in Dublin.

We were back again last night for a second viewing. This time Haydn was Billy. It was a pleasure afterwards to be able to chat to Daniel Page, Barnaby Meredith, Deborah Bundy - well known from their earlier VPT days, and also several of the new cast.

I forgot to mention in my review that Billy doubles up as Tall Boy in other performances.
