I have seen many clips of Orlando but THIS is my absolute favourite. It's a little gem! :lol:

Grabbed from the BBC3 programme 'Almost Famous' it shows a brief clip of a 16 year old Orlando as 'Lord Brockhurst' singing and dancing in a 1993 school production of 'The Boyfriend'.

PLOT

In the Villa Caprice, or Madame Dubonnet's School for Young Ladies, Maisie and the girls live with the maid, Hortense, and Mme. Dubonnet. Hortense orders a costume for "a Miss Polly Browne" and Maisie and the other girls (Dulcie, Nancy, and Fay) sing the sarcastic "Perfect Young Ladies" with Hortense. Polly arrives and tells everyone about her made-up boy friend who is "motoring down from Paris" to meet her for the upcoming carnival ball, and sings about "The Boy Friend". Later, Bobby surprises Maisie and they dance to "Won't You Charleston With Me?"

Polly's widowed father, Percy, then arrives at the school to discover that the headmistress is an old flame of his. They sing "Fancy Forgetting" to rekindle the spark. Polly, though a millionaire's daughter, feels left out because she is the only one of her set who does not have a boyfriend, and she needs a partner for the fancy dress ball. However, when the errand boy, Tony, arrives to deliver her Pierrette costume, they are immediately attracted to each other, and sing "I Could Be Happy With You." Later, they meet at the beach (after the chorus number "Sur La Plage") and sing about "A Room in Bloomsbury". they then kiss and decide to meet at the ball. Meanwhile, meetings transpire between the comically flirtatious Lord Brockhurst and the rigidly mannered Percival Browne, as well as Lord Brockhurst's pestilent wife Lady Brockhurst. Percival Browne and Dubonnet then sing "The 'You-Don't-Want-To-Play-With-Me' Blues".

When Polly goes to meet her new boyfriend on the promenade, Tony's parents--Lord and Lady Brockhurst, who are passing by--recognize him; when he runs off, it is assumed that he is a thief. The act ends on a sad note.

At the ball, Bobby and the three boys propose to Maisie and the three girls, but the girls reply in unison that "we'll let you know at midnight" and everyone dances to "The Riviera". And with a catchy tune, Lord Brockhurst sings "It's Never Too Late To Fall In Love" with the flirty Dulcie, after which Lady Brockhurst catches him. Polly, still depressed, talks to Mme. Dubonnet, and they sing "Poor Little Pierrette". Tony later arrives at the ball and takes Polly by surprise. He asks "May I have this dance, Pierrette?" to which Polly replies, "I'm afraid I can't dance with a stranger." He then kisses her to remind her. Polly and Tony forgive each other and find out that Percy and Mme. Dubonnet are getting married. The clock strikes midnight, and the girls unanimously say yes to the boys' proposals! The last scene has everyone dancing as soon as Bobby, with the last spoken line in the play, asks "So how about that Charleston?" The show ends with a reprise of "The Boy Friend" and "I Could Be Happy With You."

Now wouldn't we just LOVE to see Orlando reprise the role this summer??? :D
