I actually quit last year for that very reason - no time! I was falling behind in school and music, so I found it best to quit... well and my joints are now permanently injured, but that's a whole nother story!
That would be a blast.. I doubt I'd make it, though. I actually have a friend who has played Billy for 2 or 3 years now, who got all his dance experience from cheer... so you never know!

So you know a lad that plays Billy but you can't be bothered to see the show? I give up! Are you naming names or do I have to guess?
If I’ve got owt to say I says it, and if I’ve got owt to ask I asks it.

What a feel good interview :D I agree with the radio presenter, Elton John's version of Electricity is not as good as Ryan's! :D

Great picture, where did you find it?
Rhys' friendship song put me in mind of some special friendships, thanks for sharing.
And I'm glad he explains how to pronounce his first name in the other song... ;) (I figured it would rhyme with "is")

oh, woops, well I've never seen it and remembered it, I guess? I was real young when i did, so I hardly even remember the story line or anything.. so seeing it now would be like seeing it for the first time. :)

But it's only been on in the States for two and a half years so you would have been 11 or 12! How bad is your memory :lol:

ok, so I just asked, and apparantly it was some mini production of it only featuring a few songs, and bits of dialogue here and there that a local group put on... so I guess I really haven't seen it :lol:

Then there can be no excuse - a trip to the theatre (theater to those of you with spelling issues) is required for you my girl.

I can do that :lol:

Looks like I won't make it out to Dallas to see Billy before they leave, but hopefully next time I go to London I'll see it! (instead of Wicked... :roll: )
His hands free cartwheels are amazing, what a tallent.

The big sign for wicked was the first thing I see when I arrived at Victoria station. Could not be tempted to see the show tbh

I do try to read all your posts, but sometimes after a longs days work almost falling asleep at my computer, posts do pass me by. Nothing personal ;)
