By Beth Hepple; Here at our English Centre in Greenwich, we have an active
social programme and there is always an array of things for our students to do,
from theatre trips to walking tours and museum trips. At Twin HQ, some of our
staff were lucky enough to attend a screening of Billy Elliot the Musical at the Victoria
Palace Theatre.
Located just a stone’s throw away from Victoria station, the
Victoria palace was opened in 1911 and its exterior is the epitome of regal
London. At twin, we are often able to secure tickets at a discounted rate for students
and candidates on any course within Twin Group, meaning that they have the
opportunity to experience theatre in London’s famous West End.
Billy Elliot is one of the most fun musicals currently being
shown in the London at the moment, with some of the Staff at Twin HQ referring
to it as ‘an absolute must-see’. Our very own Internet genius, David, shared
some of his thoughts: “What a fantastic
show with such a great cast, the young lad playing Billy (Euan Garrett) was
outstanding and so very talented. Ruthie Henshall, with her usual high
standard of acting, was great in her role of Mrs. Wilkinson the dance teacher.
“The show was very
funny in parts, especially the character of Grandma, and sad at times such as when
Billy was talking to his mum. Overall, it was a very uplifting and inspiring
performance.”
Visiting the theatre is just one of the many things that you
are able to do when studying, working or travelling within London. For students
currently at Twin, the school office can provide further details of all of the
social activities that are available. For those of you thinking of studying,
undertaking work experience or using any of Twin’s services, now is your chance
to experience more of London. Have you already seen Billy Elliot? Share your
thoughts with us on Twitter or Facebook.
