THREE BILLY's SCHEDULES...

Is there a way to know when each actor playing Billy Elliot performs the role? I would like to see it again. I already saw Kiril, and I am interested in seeing the others as well. Is there a set schedule they follow?

Nope.

There is no other answer:

Nope. And educated guess can be made...but only a few days ahead of time.

Can anyone make an educated guess for Saturday's matinee, please?

I would say maybe Kiril.

Won't be him. He's on Thursday and Sunday this week.

oh, right... I forgot about.

I saw Trent this past Saturday matinee and he said that the four of them switch off every performance. So I'm guessing that with 4 Billys and 8 shows, each Billy would do the same day and time each week. Trent was great!

Trent was on tonight (or last night technically) I think, I walked by the stage door and he was outside talking to someone.

Tommy was on Tuesday night.

Oh, I guess he was stand-by then, which from what I've gathered in the past means he might be doing the matinee today. Of course, nothing is set in stone.

It will be either Trent or David A. Remember David Bologna has played Michael 8 times a week before already. I love Tommy as Billy as well but i would love for them to go back to a three Billy rotation.

Why do you prefer the 3 rotation?

Surely the heading of this thread should be "FOUR BILLY'S SCHEDULES..."?

I swear, I just posted this on a similar thread, but since people don't believe in searching, I'll post it again...

The best you can do is be mostly sure whoever did one show will not do the next consecutive performance. The best way to track it? Follow the fan run Twitter.

Yes, on odd occasions someone's schedule will be known for a performance or two but that is not a guarantee.

Is the box office issuing refunds to the people who wanted to see one of the Tony winning Billys and got stuck with the other one?

[dramamama611]

Why would they? If they "cared" about who you saw, they would publish a schedule or at least keep it the same.

Besides...even if their names WERE above the title, NONE of them are understudies so you would NEVER be entitled to your $ back.

and STUCK? Just because Tommy started after the other three is why he didn't get a nom. It's not the actors that got the award, it's the part.

I disagree. I think it was certainly the performance of the three Billys that deserved the award. If they had only given the award based on the role, then anyone who was cast would have gotten it, and I don't think that fair at all. Especially to the other perofmers on the category who worked their butts off. Also, I'm not at all in the least interested in seeing Tommy as Billy ever. He wasn't one of the original three and did not win a Tony. He will never ever be on the same level as Kiril, Trent and David in history. Just won't happen. With that said, in all fairness, he deserves the same rights as the other three boys, and I don't think people deserve refunds for a Tommy performance. I'm not the only one who feels this way, I'm just the only one whose saying it. Others are too polite.

Those three boys who won the Tony award will not be in the show a whole lot longer. They're too big to play the part. SO.... for those of you who planned on seeing the show after October can forget it. Based on this idiotic post, it's going to have to close.

when I talk to people about the show when i say there are four billy's. they say i thought there were three because they watched the tv interviews, tony awards, and loads of people have watched the finding billy pbs speacil. i feel we are copying of what london did.

trent went on mid second act last night.

[Tom's Cat]

Posted: 6/24/09 at 11:28am

Really? That doesn't sound good. I hope Tommy's all right.

You mean mid-second act--- like before or after the Ballet scene? Of all the places, I figure the the ballet scene is most likely for causing injury. I certainly hope that everything is ok!

yes, not sure before or after swan lake. so the billy schedule is up in the air right now, especially today.

[sgv123]

Posted: 6/24/09 at 12:20pm

We are not copying what London did at all.....we were bound to have 3 boys going at once at some point. I am pretty sure there wont be a 3 Billy rotation in a long time. Australia was the same.

four billy rotation is fine with me. it is good that they perform twice a week, especially during school year. i hope the next interview they have all four there. tommy, david a, and kiril seem to be getting taller.
