I don't usually enjoy watching kids perform* but he was excellent.

Thanks, Susan. That was just part of a three-hour show, where young Elliott was hardly ever off the stage. (It was beamed live to cinema audiences across the world). I want to know where he got all his energy from and please can I have some too?

;-)

Such talent.

[marval]

Thank you Buenchico, he was very good.

[Patsy33]

Brilliant! Such energy too...

[Georgiesmum]

WOW WOW WOW. Thank you for that, it was wonderful.

[margarettom]

Really enjoyed that, brilliant acting and brilliant dancing!

[Barsel]

What a talented you man he is, this is far superior to the scene in the film with Jamie Bell.

[Buenchico]

Thanks for all the comments.

It's certainly a 'stand out' performance in my opinion!

[tonyav]

Thats great, Chris. Brilliant dancer.

[Canary42]

Brilliant fouetté

[roopower]

Brilliant. I hope that young man will go onwards and upwards. Lovely to see new talent like. I would also like some of his energy.

Did you watch the whole show Chris? Ruthie Henshall who played Mrs Wilkinson, is a Suffolk girl. Born in London she grew up in north Suffolk and stayed in the area. Back in the day, her father was editor of the local paper, EADT. As far as I know she lives just outside Ipswich now.

Thanks for the additional posts.

No, I've not seen the whole show yet, Maydup, but I'll be ordering the DVD. ( https://tinyurl.com/y23k3cq3 ).

I've probably still got some invoices awaiting payment from the EADT in those days. They were never very good at remembering to pay for freelance work ;-)
