Billy Elliot - Solidarity

[thesinger877]

@Bexilulz Priest

[thesinger877]

I went and saw this the other night... Passed right by the cast (the whole lot of them.) Fortunately, I was singing Sweeney Todd with my guy-friend. Lasting impression. I think so.

[Bexilulz]

@thesinger877 Which song? :P

[agenttheater5]

is this the original london cast? 

[100DiddlySquatxx]

@agenttheater5 yes

[mlm569]

This was easily the best musical i\ve ever seen

[HannahThunderify]

I hate everybody who dislikes this. Sorry, but it's true.

[pickaxeman1]

i have seen this twice in san francisco and on broadway and both times i was blown away this is my favorite musical ever i am so upset they are taking it off broadway though! ):

[Xxnicoroxxx]

this is the best song in the entire show

[beckyj378]

I went and saw Billy Elliot Thursday and it is most definitely the best musical. Just as good, if not better than the film.

[number1Dancersssod]

@beckyj378 Oh.my.gosh. I saw Billy Elliot Thursday too!!! Kennedy Center?

[beckyj378]

@number1Dancersssod no i went to Victoria palace in London. :)

[mjmaniac91]

@beckyj378 i saw it too at Victoria's Palace in London the day before yesterday!!!!THE MASTERPIECE!!!!!!it blew my fucking mind away!!!

[BalletBecca]

@number1Dancersssod I saw it at the Kennedy Center too! It was amazing.

[book492]

@BalletBecca I ushered the show for the last few weeks at the Kennedy Center. I'm gonna miss it! :-)

[actingmad15]

You think ya smart? ya cockney s***e you oughta be suspicious, when you were on the picket line we went an f***ed your missus_______ best line ever in a song xx

[actingmad15]

I am proud to say that I had an acting class with Tom Lorcan who plays Tony in the West End and then we saw him in action and he is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[crazierthanyouaddams]

All for one, and one for all, solidarity forever. <3

[slitor]

8 scabs were here!

[tnkader0921]

I saw this yesterday on broadway. Solidarity was definitely my fav song!!!

[Holly24tm]

@tnkader0921 I just saw this in Rochester, NY. I agree. This song really stayed with me. This was an incredible show. The Billy that I saw was truly amazing!

[bcimnotu]

The space they rented out is due to expire. Its a real shame but you can't expect these actors to want to play the same role for a decade.

[nebby777]

I can't believe they're taking this off Broadway

[21hbgirl]

i love this musical!

[OldSpice605]

What an amazing show. I just came back from the musical. It was awsome! : )

[BabySharkSong]

I watch the musical at London yesterday, I cried becuae he was such an amazing dancer:')

[annemcbubble]

@BabySharkSong we watched it in the same day, haha (: i loved it, it was awesome, i also cried a lot, specially at his dance with "himself"

[Crazy86Girl]

Saw this on Broadway over the weekend, and half to say it's one of my all time favorite plays now :)) it was so good! i saw it in NYC.

[keyvanff123]

Original Recording CD

[Ninjachamp15]

Say this at play house square in Cleveland Ohio last year, and it was so brilliant!! I am in love forever after this

[MsEllenxoxo]

You think you're smart you wanna be suspicious,

When you're on the picket line we went and fucked yer missus ♥

[keyvanff123]

@MsEllenxoxo Explicit!

[YoYoCupcakes]

i love it when all the men are singing...gives me chills

[airsoftgreg4397]

seeing this on broadway on wednesday!!

[honeychild32pbj]

I SAW THIS IN HOUSTON AND NOW I'M OBSESSED!!!!

[XxElphabaPotterxX]

I saw this San Francisco, and it was fabulous!!!

[75hommer]

j'ai vu le show en février dernier c'était magnifique bravo aux acteurs et surtout a ces petit bout de choux déjà très grands !

[LatteBoy123]

I just got home from seeing this on Broadway and loved it. This was my favorite part.

[TheKaratekid1998]

i wish you could just play the flaming song!

[2devmoran]

i never saw this play iam sad now and mad

[ouiilikeit]

I saw this in May, and I was so shocked. The show was incredible. But the song that really did stop the time and make me hope that the moment wouldn't ever end, was the "Angry Dance". You can't imagine it when listening it from youtube, you have to be there and feel the bass going straight through your body. That song made me want to go and dance with the actors, to stand up and shout out loud. The show was just... amazing.

[handinhandtogether]

@ouiilikeit See, I feel the same way, except this was the song I never wanted to end. Yeah, it's really long because of the dialogue in between, but the song itself is amazing, and it's not long enough. I've assaulted the replay button for this song, and that's saying something.

[PeaceErin1283]

@ouiilikeit I completely agree :) <3

[Holly24tm]

@ouiilikeit This was arguably the most moving number ("Angry Dance") I have seen on the stage (and I have seen a lot of shows). The music and the dancing were phenomenal!

[ritsfata]

Just saw this. Wow, the guitar in this song blew my mind. I think this was my favorite moment in my entire show.

[Mackieb810]

My two favorite parts are 0:18 to 0:25, and 0:01 to 8:57!

[EnmaFire]

@Mackieb810 Hahaa, 0:01 to 8:57, I see what you did there :D

[iamyuna]

This play is absolutely wonderful, I saw it on a whim in London and I definitely don't regret it.

[NatEmm77]

I cried in this song seeing it on Broadway, It was just so intense, so powerful. Beautiful

[yanacharlotte]

This is the best musical I've ever seen! I went to see it in London with my daughter last month, and it was fabulous. I'd recommend it to anyone. This is one of my favorite numbers.

[catieparty]

I wouldn't do it if i were u... people'll think ua mental

[milwanevidencee]

1:32 is just fabulous. I love how they contrast the ballet class with the riot.

[MegzarillaMonster]

The Angry Dance is the best!!!

[veritypower]

WHERE'S ME PASTIE?

[IsItTheBagel]

My favorite scene and song from the musical! Saw this on Broadway and it was amazing.

[chloelouiise93]

@BillyElliotPhantom Born to boogie

[Swagiteerz]

-Grandma

[jonasb2000]

[SpartanB359]

[Spellbinder20]

Fifty Pence.

[Ziphorax]

@SpartanB359 stands for pence :] as in the plural of penny.

[musicandWriting77]

I like when he recieves the letter from the Royal Ballet and his brother motions his dad away, and his dad motions the grandma away, and the grandma gives him the finger. :)

[crazierthanyouaddams]

@musicandWriting77 Billy:William Elliot is queer

... Long pause...

Dad: Esquire. 

[L7219]

@RollinInTheDeeep I know. they suck!

[iVeeMusic19]

[officialotaku]

[dragdev]

[hippocornamus]

[Bolt3456]

I loved the musical

[hopesterocks]

I love this musical, I have the whole thing on my ipod :)

[sinatrabooth89]

I love how @8:38 the song quotes Handel's Messiah, the hallelujah Chorus. Ha I love being a music/theatre/dance nerd :~)

[MrCnoufesd]

A monster to play on piano, but so proud I managed it... hopefully I'll upload it soon.

[BossMan1197]

William Elliot is queer. its esquire.

when my family heard that my mom started laughing really loud and brother was like "fuck" mom shut up.

[metakight4]

i wish we can do this at our high school it would be so much fun to do

[SineeLockerbieexx]

i love how this song is like all the little bally girls are like un aware of all the things going on in the world at that moment, its just a great scene

[Siobhanxo95]

i lovelovelove this musical, so glad i managed to see it in london!

[hollaratyou6]

I love billy elliot soo much im going to see it in april. but what does "william elliot is queer....." "ITS ESQUIRE" mean? i understand what parts of it mean i just dont understand what the statement as a whole means

[j3maa]

@hollaratyou6 you'll understand it when you see it...

[hollaratyou6]

@j3maa oh ok thanks

[Co7VZ]

Someone (TALIA) Made Me Listen to this, all I can say is I Want my 8:57 Back .

[cardboard15]

"William Elliot....Is queer..." "ITS ESQUIRE"

this gave my family laughs for a solid ten minutes on the way home.

[eminemkid4000]

[JaskaJunior]

SOLIDARITY FOREVER!

[LostOzian]

The first Solidarity verse/chorus from 1:40 on feels so badass... :3 I love this musical.

[BillyElliotBunhead]

Whenever I see the show I sing along to every song and give tons of standing ovations..the people around me prolly think i have issues HAHAHAHA

[shwingteez]

The best play EVER

[MrDuncanBelfast]

Such a good musical. Reminds me of a rather ironic story. My drama class went to New York to watch a number of broadway musicals, this one included. On the bus ride to the airport, we watched "This is Spinal Tap". The teachers decided to shut it off halfway through because of the language. The next evening at Billy Elliot:

"You FUCKING worms

You FUCKING moles

You FUCKING Geordie shits!

We're here to kick your Geordie arse

You little Geordie gits!"

[FanStoryVideoStudios]

@MrDuncanBelfast Haha, nice!

My acting class saw this, too, but we'd seen the movie already, so my teacher already knew about the language.

How is it that the catchiest tune in the whole show is the one with the most cussing?

[CheezeCube]

I love this musical!

[teenagedreamer95]

i love this song haha! best musical ever! AHH! :D

[AriaAsacura]

@CarlaaANDJadee Best part of that is the little skip away from his father he does xD

[AriaAsacura]

WE WENT AND FOCKED YER MISSES!!

[spartanfeilder09]

love this musical, saw it in London and it was AWESOME!

[KayKizzy]

@spartanfeilder09 me too

[gymnast2010addict]

haha....my fav lines/convo:

michael: the royal ballet?

billy: yea, wat about it?

michael: its fucking weird. 

[AriaAsacura]

@gymnast2010addict I love how he says that wearing a dress and hair accessories xD

[tiffzastar]

@gymnast2010addict; My mouth dropped wide open when he said that! I am surprised they have the little kids saying swear words. This part was really funny and the part about the Nutcracker. I saw Billy Elliot 3 weeks ago when it came to Cleveland, Ohio

[bluemoocookies]

@tiffzastar

I saw it on opening night here in Cleveland. If it comes back, I'm going again for sure. :)

[ZSHudson]

@gymnast2010addict LMAO while he was in a dress :P

[auqablue400]

@gymnast2010addict says the one in the dress xD

[minman2011]

@gymnast2010addict I love that part to!!! Especially since he is dressing in women's clothes!! I really love the whole show! Just show it in NYC last Saturday :)

[LiiChinHo]

@gymnast2010addict it's fookin* weird.

[Sobekain]

"William Elliot....Is queer..." "ITS ESQUIRE"

BEST line in the show! LOL

[PoohBabay1109]

I saw the chicago one yesterday and i loved it. This was one of my fav numbers.

[cgsilverscreen2020]

[MadameMadHatter]

I just saw it in Chicago last weekend and it was pretty much awesome. best one I have ever seen

[billyelliotlover22]

[miltje96]

[cheekychic94]

@webnetterbareflyx

samee! i went last night and he blew me one too

[TriforceofSara]

Billy's Dad: Then where the Hell has he been going?

Ballerinas: Solidarity, solidarity. Solidarity forever!

PERFECT contrast.

[just2jess96]

love this song. im in theatre at my school. and i sing, act and dance. when i saw this i was so jealous of everyone who got to do it up on stage basically every night. it was a fantastic show. i love the song where the boys are wearing dresses so funny :-)

[TheConnie345]

I saw this 2 weeks ago, and Billy was ill halfway through :( but the replacement was fantastic coming in cold AND i started the standing ovation!

[StarDancer1996]

<3 <3 <3 <3 love love love this!!!

[judoprincess1]

This was amazing!

saw it in the west end with Rhys Yeomans last week who was incredible!

[PineconePaparrazi]

i lovvv billy eliot

[fubarelitist]

is the similarity to one from a chorus line intentional?

[TomSpitzy]

@fubarelitist It isn't really, just the opening music.

[HelenaLover95]

this is so bloody catchy!

[YoleneR14]

i love this song!

[ghostlat]

Just saw this musical in Chicago last weekend, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially this song right here. I loved the choreography of the ballet girls, and how the scene went back and forth from the picket line of the union workers and cops.

[P11OKI]

My boy has been in Billy Elliot all week and i cant stop sining this song!

[nakano123]

makes you proud to be from the north

[jeddr1]

my little sister was performing it in the westend as this speacial one night thing, but she actualy got directed by the director of billy elliot

[HELLO0709]

my school are staging a production of this =)

can't get this song outta my head, too catchy!

[Bexilulz]

@HELLO0709 How many wanted to sing this song? XD

[HELLO0709]

@Bexilulz lol i dunno, too addictive though

[sk8orhateit]

the solidarity by enter shikari is a million fucking times better

[RandomHighSchoolKid]

ive seen this show twice.

1st in the west end in 2008, and 2nd in a local theatre in 2010 xD

considering the local theatre isnt the west end, they put loads of effort into it...too bad the person playing Billy couldnt sing at all in the local theatre version i saw...

[cheeseInANutshell]

we just did this at my drama club and this scene was definately one of my least favourites! And I hated having to wear my helmet...

[Geoffrey150]

THIS WAS SOOOOO AMAZING AT WESTEND!!!

[boosedok]

i love this song! but it is sooo hard to sing!!!!

[mrsdavidcook3]

just saw this on broadway on tuesday. it was amazing! my billy was alex ko and he was phenomenal. this was one of my favorite numbers

[DoucheWaffleLol]

@mrsdavidcook3

I just saw this on broadway too. Mine was Jacob Clemente. He was fantastic.

I got to meet Jeff Kready(Billy's brother) :]

[Aquagirl4560]

@DoucheWaffleLol  Jacob was amazing i saw him and got an autograph from him

[DoucheWaffleLol]

@Aquagirl4560 Me too haha. I actually went to a workshop for Billy Elliot, I met him, Jeff Kready(Tony), and Stephanie Kurtzuba(Billy's mother). Great experience and great choreography lol

[glayiscool]

@mrsdavidcook3 i lovedd alex. Hes adorable 

[5oclocksundown]

i saw this in new york two days ago. billy was played by liam redhead. it is absolutely stunning how such a young actor can perform so amazingly

[zanybell12]

i just saw this last week in london and it was soo awesome! my billy was ollie gardner

[adiclm29]

it's just so cool

[xxURaHOTTxMeSSxx]

By far my favorite song!

I saw this in Chicago last week and the cast I saw was phenomenal. Giuseppe Bausillio is an AMAZING dancer.

I want to go see it again!
