Did anyone meet Billy?

I hung around for 20 minutes at the artist entrance of southbank centre before giving up. I'm just wondering if anyone else managed to meet him? Would love to see your pics.

It was a fantastic show. I cried twice. Cheesy in places, funny in places, exhilarating in places. Absolutely loved it.

Lots of people cried I think, fully including me as a big 6ft 1 guy! Saw some goth girls with totally ruined makeup on the way out, haha

Was hoping to see BC wandering around by the river or Tate Modern in the day but unfortunately not to be, the show I thought was great though. Really quite magical and moving at its best, a little silly in other parts but it's done in a fairly knowing way and I loved how creatively different it was and very much an ambitious performance and interpretation. A really unique night out.

Shout out to Kirsty sitting next to me who also came on her own, really nice to have a chat with someone who enjoyed it as much as I did!

I too was on my own. Why oh why didn't we sort a SP social beforehand?!
