Not much of a letter writer, but wow. A big hug to everyone involved with Billy Elliot!
All the emotion of real, human experience of gain and loss bound together with the dazzling precision of a Busby Berkeley musical. A tale of community that took a community to make. I will miss hearing you rehearse.
Solidarity forever!
Yes!
I was moved to tears during the opening number. As a community, we must stand together more than ever during these challenging times.
Well said, Annie Moss Moore! This story is timeless and timely – always. The production was absolutely beautiful in every way. I am awed and delighted at all of the wonderful talented cast, musicians, the music itself, the amazing dancers and the choreographers, vocal coaches – ALL of you beautiful cast members touched my heart, and also made me laugh and cry. You OWNED this – in your songs, in your dances, in your putting your hearts and souls into it – what a pleasure and privilege to watch and listen! What a treasure we have in all of you. Kudos to you, Robert Hall. You did a fantastic job directing. Heartfelt thanks to all who made this happen – I’m sorry it’s over!
i secretly and selfishly hope that a tap dance troup comes out of this :D
Love it, Annie and Sadie! Well said. They really got this – and shared it – and WE got it. Let’s remember it.
