[vanderauweraw]

how long is this musical active?

[verticalwish]

@thearter12 he's about 15-17... it depends when it was shot. hes so adorable. iknowww i wish he was youngerr

[slicksteve1943]

In the UK special rights to do a version of BE the Musical are granted to schools. Great for the young performers!!

[KimDaveKajFan]

is trent here michael?

[slicksteve1943]

@KimDaveKajFan Trent was in London in training during the period when this video was shot. He seems to be taking the role of the Small Boy for the shoot.

[thearter12]

please tell me how old is Colin in these clips? : )

[crazycricket15]

I performed in the West End Gala last night at the Victoria Palace.

I was centre stage singing Electricity to a standing ovation of 1500 people.

The best moment of my life.

[jaybeefrommanchester]

@crazycricket15 wow, o.m g x

[mikeride101]

I am part of a Youth Production doing this in association with Billy Youth Theare London!! :) And I have been selected to sing "Deep Into The Ground" at the London Gala, This weekend, Sooo excittedd!!!!

I love this video - Makes me happpy :') hahaha

[Spaceboundelbow]

I'm playing Jackie (Dad) in our school production of this next week, we've been working solidly at it for the past 4 months. This video still gives me shivers. I really hope we do the show some sort of justice. Truely epic.

[monteombraro]

My 12-year-old son and I saw Billy Elliot in London a week ago and we enjoyed the show from the very second it started until the curtain fell. It's clever and "electric", it made us laugh and cry... everyone on stage was exceptionally gifted... we simply LOVED it!!!

[lucasgrieves]

I just saw this is Chicago a little bit ago! what is the song at 1:23 ? i want it so bad!

[jennifercwebster]

@lucasgrieves it's called solidarity. you can get it on itunes

[crazycricket15]

[lautjuhb]

@crazycricket15 awesome ! we went to the musical with our school, from holland to London ~! :D good luck

[TheKingsDaughter33]

@crazycricket15 Can I ask how thats possible? are the rights released or is it a show case?

[crazycricket15]

@TheKingsDaughter33 It was part of the Billy Youth Theatre project celebrating the musicals 5th Anniversary. We were unbelieveably lucky to do it, best show ive ever done and probablly ever will do.

[DieJulia79]

great teaser!

i saw the musical 3 times in london but still it's not enough... what a pity that i live so far away!

the current cast is great! but i heard joanna riding is leaving in june - she's the best mrs. wilkinson by far! better than the original on i think!

[jamspice11]

[lilangelphoebe]

[penguinlove4337]

Electricity is awesome

[yalulini]

[sholor]

I saw it in Melbourne a few month ago and it was just amazing!

[tockolosh1]

it would be very nice if we could find out what some of the old billy's are doing.. wonder if someone couldnt do that.. there are hundreds of fan's that still think about them..

[3kkoolguy]

@tockolosh1 Matthew Koon is in the final of Got To Dance on Sky1 on sundays at 6pm. search for him on youtube to see his audition and semi final dances.

[xxxMSMKNxxx]

Gaaash! I loove this musical! I saw it in London a month ago...it was bloody fantastic!! I would've given anything to see it again!! I'm not sure who played Billy when I saw it, but whoever it was was just amazing...

[armydave]

Im from Durham and was 9 years old during the Miners Strike. Its very weird for me to watch this musical. Almost surreal that out of that tough time, something so wonderful came about.

[KakashiFreak100]

I saw this Wednesday at Broadway. One of my favourite musicals yet! ^-^

[solidarityfrv13]

[KiwiPowaa]

[solidarityfrv13]

This is the best bloody musical in the world. Me and me mum saw this in the West End and it was wicked! We saw it with Colin. Cor! It was great!

[partygurl7355]

How did u like it with colin? he is one of my best friends n we live in the United States where he is from and I am afraid of flying so i never saw him in it. it's the only thing hes ever done that i havne't been there to see atleast once..this looks like it was amazing! i wish i could have gotten over my fear n seen him in it

[mzakpitt96]

This is without a doubt the best show in the whole world. Me and me mum saw this in London with Colin in it. FANTASTIC!! If anyone wants to see their first West End Musical....Billy Elliot is the one to go see!!!!!!!

An amazing score, startling libretto and beautiful choreography!

[lululation]

It looks amazing.Hoping to see it soon.

[Kacey25]

I just love the show! :-) Colin has been my 1st Billy last year! (jan.2007)He was amazing!

[daviddude811]

I saw this in Sydney........AMAZING well it was good...like it wasnt as awsome as i thought but still really good and definatly a must see!

[Antphoneigh]

Well considering I fell asleep while watching the Hollywood production, then liking it a second time round, I've got to say the musical was way better than all my expectations!

[theatrebritty]

OMG. I can't wait for this to open in NY. I saw that the theatre is already all done up with Billy Elliot ads and whatnot...I'm seriously getting chills. I love it~

[AnnaEva86]

This show was AWESOME !! I saw it with Hogan Fulton .. but I can't find him on Youtube!

[tonyan91]

where can i find the first song with the coal miners ? it's awesome!^^

[lilrockere]

its called once we were kings. look it up on limewire or someit.

[Antphoneigh]

All the songs have been uploaded by youtube. Seek and ye shall find ;)

[rozenncarrio]

Colin danse vraiment très bien et il chante plutôt pas mal! en + il est pas du tout moche !

[08rory13]

The accents are exadurated lol

[wmgrad2b]

their accents are just atrocious on stage. i mean it's fine if you have a strong accent in everyday speech, but not on stage. They just seem so over- exxagerated.

Five seeks siven eat...

[sheepster6552]

lets just change history and the story for the americans sake then

[paulamx]

Colin Bates was great as billy...a true performer

[ndckat629]

I know him too- I dance with him...and his name is Tanner Pflueger! From Nebraska Dance:)

[bmm2000]

i know the kid that gets to be in billy elliot the musical this year and he gets to meet elton john.

his name is tanner. hes from omaha nebraska!

[08rory13]

Cory snide is the best

[wmgrad2b]

I am so not looking forward to this coming to Broadway. It was popular in the West End, but that's just because it's a really british musical.

[toffeeicecream1994]

Yerrp,, Very British!

[GG12345678]

Umm well its playing in Sydney Australia and has been for like 6 months and is doing extremely well so i don't really understand why its being British should matter...

[wmgrad2b]

Yeah, becuase there's really a TON of stuff going on in Sydney that would compete with it...

[yayformerob]

Um yeah there is; Phantom of the Opera, Edward Scissorhands, The rocky horror Show, and every few months new ballets and operas visit the opera house from around teh world so theres actually quite a lot

[matty9794]

Best singer out of all the Billys, closely followed by Leon Cooke and Liam Mower. Great Performer !

[lemonandsugar]

I saw Corey Snide in october and fell in love with him! But now after seeing Colin and his interveiw on cbbc I love him so much!

Well i love them both B E is the best musical in the world! Such great music i wish i was in it!

[BillyElliotLover96]

hes so pretty :P:):P:):P:):P:)

[fscgirl12]

Amazing!

[oglier]

the prettiest billy by far :) he's my favourite though i dont think i saw him. need to find my programme to say who i had.

[Meganie101]

I saw this the other day with Corey Snide

It was amazing. i loved every bit of it !!

[littlegemqueen]

does corey do an english accent, or is it all sang?

[toffeeicecream1994]

It's not all singing so I guess he does an accent! Colin is REALLY good at the accent!!

xxxxxxxxx

[Jaaqii]

OMG I LUV BILLY ELLIOT SSSOOOOOO MUCH=D

it's such a brilliant musical

I saw it in Australia and I luvd it

[Capricaquarius89]

I have a brother who began dancing when this first came out as a motion picture and its really neat to see it transformed to the stage. The original West End kids (and Colin Bates) are AMAZING and its really great for my brother to see other boys out on stage doing what he loves to do. Can't wait till it comes out on Broadway later this year!

[kualitee88]

this musical is amazing! i loved it so much! make sure u see it NOW!!!!

[bexknowles]

I Saw Corey Snide; He Was Amazin'; But Colin Looks Good Too (Y) x

[xlittlestar01x]
