Alex Ko last show at Billy Elliot?

Has anyone heard when Alex Ko's closing will be? He blew me AWAY when I saw him play Billy back in October and would love to see his closing. But sadly the producers are SO freaking tight lipped about who's going on for Billy. I know, I know, it would be a nightmare with tickets exchanges and returns if they announce one kid and another goes on instead... (although as a fan of the show, I'd like a chance to see all of the Billy's and it makes it tough to plan - as I've now seen Jacob Clemente THREE times!! Would have much preferred to spread it out and have seen the others play it as well!)

Anyway, I would really like to be there to see Alex's last. I literally wept the night I saw B.E. with him in it, every time he danced. I've honestly never seen anything quite that amazing before... and I can imagine that the night he says goodbye to the role, his dancing and performance will be beyond inspiring...

I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I heard his contract has been extended to May because they were having a problem training the upcoming Billies. Jacob Clemente might possibly leave around the same time, and either Daniel Russell or Kylend Hetherington from the tour will step in for a little while, while they get the new Billies ready.

It appears that tonight may be Alex's last night.

Gutted I never got to see him.

Yup, false alarm. Alex is with Billy through May.

any word on when his last day is now??? Thanks!!

I traveled from SF to NYC in 2009 expecting to see one of the Tony winners as Billy. I was soooo disappointed when I saw that night was being played by a new Billy with a name of "Alex Ko". In my head, I was screaming, i want to see David Alvarez!!!

As soon as the show started. Boy did Alex prove me wrong. I fell in love with Billy more than I imagined. Alex Ko was astounding. I will never forget it. It would mean a lot to see him on his last day as Billy.
