For all you doubters --- looks like I was right.

I wouldn't post false information.

Glad Tommy did so well.

I didn't doubt the date he'd start, only if whether or not Kiril was still going to remain as Billy. I took that bit of information out anyways, but I knew when Tommy was starting.

Do you know if Tommy is permanently joining the rotation?

I was there this evening and thought Tommy Batchelor played the role of Billy Elliot very well. After I gave him a high five at stage door, he commented he was very nervous tonight.

* * Can someone confirm whether he lost balance during the tail end of Solidarity (or were my eyes playing games with me)? * *

Tonight, I sat in Center Orchestra second to last row. During intermission, I ran into David Bologna who sat with family(?) in the last few rows of left orchestra. Didn't notice where the other Billys were, but it was pretty cool that all four Billys and both Michaels were at stage door. Matthew (small boy) even signed my playbill. :)

wow alot happended last night. i guess it was something speacil that they let the three billys and david sit in the last row. great to hear the reviews. a little note the ballet girls and the debbies(meaning erins standby too) are the one of the first ones out of the stagedoor. glad to hear he got great reviews, but my dad will be disappointed if he doesnt see kiril, david, and trent after seeing them on the promotional stuff expectionally the pbs spaecil.
tommy is my playbill said billy standby.
if he def staying in the roatation, they should change the website. i feel lile its demotion for 2 of 3 billys who usually do 3 shows a week.
still unsure about him joining the rotation, and still pretty mad about the rumor kiril is leaving.

Wow, yankees, you just made up a few new words I think...

Posted: 2/11/09 at 2:09am

It's alright, we all do it sometimes...my dad is the king of making up new words, even when it's not late...haha

Sorry to get off the topic. I too would like to know if Tommy is officially joining the rotation...

"if he def staying in the roatation, they should change the website. i feel lile its demotion for 2 of 3 billys who usually do 3 shows a week. still unsure about him joining the rotation, and still pretty mad about the rumor kiril is leaving."

Not to worry... the other boys are excited about Tommy performing and enjoy the break. It was wonderful that they sat in the back row and watched the show as a sign of support. I agree about the rumours, though. The show will outlast the original group of boys, but there's no sense in trying to outguess nature on who leaves when.

It's going to be so sad when one of them has to leave...

[sgv123]

Posted: 2/11/09 at 1:02pm

Yeah, but you will get used to the changing of the Billys. One will leave and then another talented boy comes in, so its really not that bad.

Can anyone tell me who was on for the matinee and evening today? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

[sgv123]

Posted: 2/11/09 at 8:58pm

I think it was Kiril.

[WishingOnlyWounds2]

Posted: 2/11/09 at 9:00pm

Ok, Thanks. Do you know who is on now? I'm trying to figure out who I may be seeing next week. Or, who was on Sunday?

[sgv123]

Posted: 2/11/09 at 9:05pm

I believe Trent is on now. So far this month it has been Kiril,Trent,David, Tommy.

[WishingOnlyWounds2]

Posted: 2/11/09 at 9:09pm

Look likes I'm seeing David again... which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I was hoping to see one of the others boys.

[sgv123]

Posted: 2/11/09 at 9:10pm

^ Yeah, I know what you mean. I have seen Trent x4 and Kiril x2. I really want to see David and Tommy.

[lindatnyc2]

Posted: 2/12/09 at 12:47am

Sam is correct. :)
Trent was on as Billy in the evening performance.

Any thoughts on who might be on Sat. 2/14 eve? That's when I am going next.

if tommy is in the rotation this week saturday night will be trent and if tommy doesnt perform this week again david a.

Yes, Tommy is in the rotation. Greg posted it on his blog.

"February 11, 2009:
Congrats to Tommy Batchelor on his debut as "Billy" on February 10.
He is now part of the regular rotation, along with David, Trent, and Kiril."

Good for Tommy. That means then that, without anyone getting sick or injured and missing a show, they would all have the same shows each week...unless they just opt to change the rotation every week to vary it.
