Annabelle Has Started in “Billy Elliot” and is Home for the Holidays
Annabelle Crosby pictured below in the latest edition of “Young Performer” is home for Christmas after she opened in the West End in “Billy Elliot” recently.
As readers of the site will know, I have always admired Annabelle`s attitude throughout all the long months of uncertainty whilst she was waiting to see if she had won the part of Debbie. I received the most lovely letter from Annabelle this morning and I have posted it here below:-
She also sent me this insert from the “Billy Elliot” programme and in it she thanks “all at Stagecoach”. Now we really know we`ve arrived - a mention in a West End programme!!
Annabelle will not be home for long enough to visit us back at Stagecoach but her mum is trying to get a date when Annabelle will be on stage, so that we can go to see her when we have our “West End Weekend Away” in the Summer Term.

I followed up Annabelle`s advice and went and registered on the Billy Elliot Forum web site. Lots of die-hard fans of the show there!! Below are some of the comments made by fans who have reviewed the show :-
Annabelle Crosby-Stewart: Cheeky and flirty so the right mix for a saucy little minx. Mrs W would have her work cut out with this daughter that is for sure. A good debut.
Annabelle is wonderful as Debbie. She has real attitude.
a Delightful Debbie played by the Amazing Annabelle
Annabelle is only ten years old but plays Debbie like an old pro, she is going to be an excellent Debbie.
Before I finish I just have to say what marvellous young actors Annabelle & George are. I have been fortunate to have seen them several times during the last few days. Annabelle really acts the part of a rite little minx and I could see Mrs W having a hard time with her.
