LITTLE BADGES - FOX JACKSON-KEEN ...THIS BOY WILL GO FAR

Hi

The virtual kettle's on..... So while I let it boil I just have this to say

When you think of Billy Elliot, you think of the brilliant Jamie Bell in the wonderful film by Stephen Daldry. The music was fantastic, the story fantastic, the acting and dancing all fantastic, and it is a film with real hope under a tremendous backdrop of pain and heartache...

So I hear you ask...What can be better than Billy Elliot the film.

Well that is a simple question to answer....BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL.

I have to say when I saw it, I was blown away by it. The stage direction the acting (yes ACTING in a musical) the music....and above all else the incredible dancing.

Each scene has such passion. Passion from the performers that you can feel...It's in the air, it envelopes the audience, the audience get entranced.

And throughout the Musical, the young boys who play Billy the main character not only sing their hearts out, dance their shoes off, and touch you emotionally with their acting... they are able to do the whole show, without collapsing to the ground.

Because let's make no bones about it....This is a demanding role for anyone, let alone somebody holding the show on their own at ages 12 - 14 yrs of age.

So I come onto FOX JACKSON - KEEN. This young man....has it. Forget your reality shows looking for somebody who can just about hold a tune, manage to stand up on ice, and learn a foxtrot. This young man has the X - factor. The whole package. Maturity passed his years, an old head on young shoulders, a passion to perform, a determination to be the best.....and a performer that has the potential to leave the audience wanting more.

and yes, the audience always want more as they rise to their feets to applaud this young star. And they will go back and see him again and again and again....and he will always deliver....just that something more....just that something a little bit different.

This guys going to be big!

But what am I saying. He is already big at such a young age, he has been on television, in film roles and has entertained thousands of people for the last 2 years as Billy.

But alas... all good things must come to an end, and so on March 27th young Fox Jackson-Keen will leave his role in Billy Elliot to rapturous applause and continue on his journey into the world.

It is of course with heavy heart we will see him go

We were asked to produce a commemorative badge to signify his last performance in his role as Billy, and it is our honour and privelage to have done so. Something special for his fans.
Sadly his last performance as Billy will be March 27th (the day before my birthday...no...no...don't send any gifts....no really...oh okay then)

and his fans will continue on that journey with him....always there to offer that support.

We look forward to Fox Jackson-Keens next role with anticipation.

If you are not already doing so please join his fan club on Facebook run by Jonas called of course.....

"The Amazing Fox Jackson-Keen"

With less than 10 days to see a true star... I urge you to beg borrow and steal (well maybe not steal) to get tickets to see him. It's going to be emotional!!!

Well, I can hear the kettle has just finished boiling so

Milk and sugar?
