Wow! Carole looks great! *sarcastic tone* Her hair got so long in one week! Although, she happens to really look, really nice.

Heather is a ballet girl and they have been been friends for a while (before Billy)through Irish step dancing.

Where is the thing about a girlfriend? I know Trent has asked Heather out several times- but I wasn't aware she finally said yes...


Also, I can't believe Trent's uncle owns The Nook, I've eaten there lol!



By the way, info for tonight...
Tommy and David B

Looks like Tommy is back as Billy, I'm happy for him!

At this afternoon's performance (which I attended), Tanner was on as Billy and Keean was on as Michael. Tommy played Tall Boy and Jayne Paterson played Mum. It was a great show. Greg and Haydn were especially outstanding. Tanner's a wonderful dancer and a cute kid. I believe Greg had family in the audience. Stephen Daldry was also there and I got to meet him at the stage door.

Today was Tanner's last performance. He is going back home for a break and then going back to London.

Awww, that just made me sad.

I can still hope he'll return to Broadway when one of the other boys leaves though, it doesn't seem like that far fetched of a thought...

So I'm assuming they're putting Tommy back into the lineup then? It was odd to see Tommy's headshot and bio only as an insert.

re: The new Billy Elliot love thread#520

Posted: 6/7/09 at 2:52am

Yes, Tommy is now back.

I really don't see the point with Tanner going back to London at all. Currently in London there are 4 Billys and they are all 13 and under.....they will be there for a while.Here on Broadway there are 2 boys who are 15 and one 14 year old. I thought Tanner would/should be a replacement.

re: The new Billy Elliot love thread#521

Posted: 6/7/09 at 2:58am

I have a feeling, I'm "going home for a break" will probably be taking time off from Broadway then returning... not all of the boys will make it through the summer or much past and Tanner knows the role... I can't imagine the producers not keeping that in mind.

Also, unless London has drastically different Equity rules and contracts: could they really have five boys in the role and would the producers pay for all five?

They do and it has happened before (though there are normally four).

Tanner is def. returning to London. He was presented with flowers yesterday. London child Labor laws are very strict, so they have had 5 Billys in the past. He may be going back to London to finish out his contact there. Perhaps he will come back to Broadway when one of our boys leave.
