The next billy according to whatsonstage.com will be Travis.
I guess Liam will not be leaving on 3rd December as there's only one new billy mentioned.

This is extract from whatsonstage.com. ITK is a member of cast, and normally his informations about the cast are reliable

Hello all,
Just to confirm, Liam is NOT leaving on 3rd Dec just George. There is a new Billy starting soon. Issac and Chris are staying, Isaac as older Billy and Chris as Tony. Tim is definately leaving and Haydn is still not sure. There are about 7 people leaving in total. Should be an amazing night.

Yes I'm staying. We're not sure whos is coming in to replace everyone yet but it will be announced soon. The new Billy is called Travis and is 11 and will be brilliant. Not sure how long Liam is now contracted for, at a guess I'd say another 6 months. Haydn is still unsure if she's saying although I hope she does

It's a shame anyone has to leave but sadly things change,are there any plans to record the show for the archives with the original cast? Is Joe Caffrey staying,i would like to add my support to the recent praise he's been receiving,he has always been my favourite of all the adult cast as he gives so much emotion each night-the poor man must go home exhausted every night! For me the scab scence where Tony is trying desperatly to understand why his Dad is suddenly going back on everything he has taught him is up there emotion wise with the dead mam letter scence.
To MF and LM you have just decended to a level of pure abuse now and as such are incredibly boring,perhaps you two could start up your own thread and leave the rest of us who actually have constuctive matters to say alone.
I don't know if i'm looking forward to Dec 3rd or not! It's going to be strange,a very sad night but also a celebration. Sadly i missed James last night but from what i've been told it was a very special occasion so i'm sure we can all make it the same for George,Tim and the others leaving. Thanks for so many great shows,you've all been teriffic.

Posted: 10/13/05 at 7:28amAny news on whether Daniel Coll is leaving ? If not, I hope he gets the chance his understudying has deserved.

Posted: 10/13/05 at 7:53amThat will be a real shame, Daniel plays "Dad" superbly and I would have liked him to have been given his shot.

Thursday Fun! A little Quiz#1189
Posted: 10/13/05 at 1:21pm
Hi All,
After a rather boring day at work, I thought I would try and brighten up this Thursday evening with a little "Billy" quiz
It's a simple quiz, and one I know ALL of you will know the answers to
Here goes:
1) In the "Pathe" news bulletin at the start of the show, one of the popular attractions at the annual Durham Miners rally was who?
2) What has Grandma hidden on the landing?
3) What is the 4th item Billy pulls out of the Bag as one of his "Special Things"?
4) What does Michael swap for his "Cindy the Nurse" doll?
5) What does Tony give Billy as a leaving present?
Answers will be published tomorrow.
Hope you all enjoy it!

Posted: 10/13/05 at 4:16pmSimple - it costs money to change the programme - maybe they made enough copies to last a while and they will change it once the copies are close to running out. I have already ordered my cd from the musical which - I have been told will have all three original Billys in it (different songs).

Liam will most likely be leaving either after his performance on th 3rd of December or jus before as his full time classes at the Royal Ballet start in the next couple of months.
No need to worry guys, Travis has done a great job in the rehearsals and will be an excellent Billy.
Next Time#1196
Posted: 10/13/05 at 5:01pmwhere did you order it from? was it from dress circle. If it was, doesnt it come out in the theatre first. It would surely be better just to go up to the theatre and buy it before it comes out anywhere else or youll be waiting ages.

Posted: 10/13/05 at 5:14pmword on the street is that sheet music will be released in January? does anyone know if thats just for electricity or for the rest of the show (or highlights)!?

Posted: 10/13/05 at 5:20pmI ordered it from Dress Circle - it is a two-day delivery once on stock - it will be cheaper from them than from the theatre - remember that the theatre has to pay for overhead and other expenses and will therefore charge more for the cds.

LM,
You say that Liam will be leaving, but ITK, a cast member, says otherwise.

L.M. - I think you'll find that Liam's contract has been renewed for a few more months into 2006, but then you already knew that!
By the way, how's everyone getting on with this quiz posted by West End Fan 2? Nice one!
