The dance in that video was something special they did. It was for teaching kids about nutrition. The Broadway Billys did Express Yourself...not Angry Dance. Layton left the show last year, but from what I have heard he was great.

I believe Tanner is ballet.

Tanner is a fantastic ballet Billy. Us Brits are concerned that you will take him to your heart and not let him leave.

I think Tanner may be leaving London for good... a boy name Oliver is starting May 12th in London.

"I think Tanner may be leaving London for good... a boy name Oliver is starting May 12th in London."

I know about Ollie. Thankfully I have a ticket for that night as it's the 4th Birthday Show. In the following article it says that he will be joining Tanner in the London show.

I'm really surprised that they're bringing someone else in temporarily to replace Tommy. I would think that they'd want to limit "Billy" to the nominated 3. This way any voting member who hasn't seen the show yet can be assured of seeing one of the nominated boys.

Greg said Tommy would be out for three weeks though now that I think of it... I wonder if something has changed.

Also, if anyone is friends with Tessa on Facebook there is a picture of the ballet girls with Tanner. I don't really feel like I have the right to post it though, but it's there if anyone wants to see it.


I kind of really want to see Tanner... what are the odds they will announce his first performance?

Ok....so does anyone know who will be on as Billy on August 12? Eve show?

(I'm kidding.)

Will be seeing the show a 2nd time, though. My first time was back in December from the last row in the theater; this time I will be in the orchestra.

However: HAS anyone heard any info about possible replacements of any of the Billys?

Hey guys- I'm going to New York tomorrow and can see Billy Elliot in either the matinee or the evening, is there a way of knowing who will be on? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm a very new fan of the show....

Nobody really knows ahead of time. You can bet that whoever you get will be great!

"However: HAS anyone heard any info about possible replacements of any of the Billys?"

If I heard correctly...and I wasn't paying too much attention...Kiril is now at the height maximum (if not taller) for the role. I wouldn't be surprised if they are waiting for the Tonys before they start replacing the boys.

Hi guys, I have one more question- I'm looking at some partial view seats for tomorrow's matinee. Front Mezz Row D seats 6-7 in the far right. Why are they marked as partial view that miss "scenic elements" on both sides, when thing to the extreme right and left are marked as only missing one side of scenic elements? Thanks again.

Thats very strange. I've sat PV on that side of the mezz, and you do not miss anything on the house left/stage right side of the show.

I have heard the Alex Ko rumor as well, but nothing concrete, so I don't quite treat it as fact. The next few months I think will be interesting though...
