Hello Chaperone,nice to see you back!

No news I'm afraid

I wonder what ALW and CM have to replace IDA next year?

Also, is it really sad that I still miss IDA and coming in here to chat about the Olivers, even though it finished ages ago?
No. No it is not. Not one bit.

Hey guys, anybody got any Oliver news? It's been a while since I've posted on here. Been looking on the Team Oliver forums a lot for news lol Everythings quietened down! I still miss the show a lot!
Personally I am still looking for chaperone work, never heard back from Cameron Mackintosh's company or the theatre comapny itself. So dissapointing.
I recently went to see Billy Elliot in London, it was amazing! Fox was our Billy, he was incredible! I want to see it again, won't see it before Josh goes tho .
I am defo seeing Oliver in the last weekend before March next year!!! Can't wait!

Pity you won't get to see Josh, he's amazing - especially his Electricity! Seems all the Billys are leaving lately Had you seen the show before?

No I hadn't, I am really glad I did though. I saw Liam Mower sing Electricity on Children In Need a few years back and saw Leon Cooke sing it in Any Dream Will Do. After the Olivers sang it I just knew I had to see it.
It is a shame Hogan and Josh are leaving. I want to see Billy again but can't before their leaving dates. Plus I am saving money to go and see Oliver! a few times next year

I never saw Liam, but was lucky to see Leon a few times - fantastic. In fact all the Billys have been fantastic, some more than others but then we all have our favourites and different opinions! Which Michael did you see? But to bring it on topic I always thought when watching IDA that Chester would have been a great Billy!

I saw Jonty, he was good. Made the audience laugh to bits! He was ace!
Chester is amazing and could have done Billy if he did dancing, Jonny could have been Billy too.

Agree, either Chester or Jonny could've been Billy - don't the Billies get about 2 years full on dance training on top of their previous dance experience? Wonder if its too late. Apparently some Billies have broken voices... Or does Michael dance? Could any Ollies be future Michaels? I'm thinking Arthur. Or Chester.

Seeing Billy Elliot in a few weeks, looking forward to it.

Yeah i can see Jonny as a Billy too!

Yeah they go to a "billy school" for a while i think, not sure how long, i think it depends? I have seen Billys with broken voices, but they have usually been on their way out... Michael has to be a good tap dancer.

Isn't there one Billy - I think his name was Layton Williams but I could be wrong! - that hadn't done any dancing before being cast in the role? I think he was quite youg though so they had a lot of time to train him up, but there's hope for Jonny and/or Chester yet!

OMG, my post from September is still the last in this topic?! (Hmmm, what does that say about me...? )
Anyway, just checking back again and looking forward to analysing CIN tonight, lol.

Gwion was absolutely amazing!! Still as cute as ever although grown slightly.. and hes so expressive in his acting and vocals!
I think I saw Gwion (obviously), Jordan, Alex and a little of Laurence!
None of my favourite Chester though!

Laurence?! Seriously? Missed that...
Jordan and Alex though, yeah. I was all "yay!!!!" when I saw Alex's face appear. He seemed to have lost his nervousness! He looked really at ease, imo.
Jordan was good too, I think this part suits him.
Gwion is still Gwion, with some improvement in his overall performance imo. Well done!

Seems like they devided the boys over the three groups after all.

And Laur, yeah, I thought the Dodgerkid looked familiar too. He was good though! Well casted!

Alex?!

I saw Jordan definitely, but I couldn't see any others. Was trying to play Spot The Oliver.

The Dodger was really good!
