appleblossom Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm so saddened to hear of the death of young dancer Charlotte Leatherbarrow who was in Billy Elliot (London West End) she was only 12. thoughts and prayers with her family , friends, and cast mates. Article here... Charlotte Leatherbarrow had appeared in the West End musical hit before the accident near her London home. A 12-year-old dancer in London West End's Billy Elliot was "living her dream," before she was struck and killed in a tragic bus accident. Charlotte Leatherbarrow's family told the BBC that the young ballerina was thrilled to be part of the long-running stage production. But the young ballerina was hit by a double-decker bus when crossing a road near her home. In a statement Charlotte's family described her as a "fun loving, thoughtful, caring and bubbly girl." "She loved life and lived it to the full, already living her dream as a dancer," the statement said. "Each and every one of us will miss her enormously." A spokesman for show said the cast, crew and production team were devastated by the news. Quote Link to comment
