The show started around 7:30 last night, and there were no glitches once it did begin. Kiril and David B were fantastic as always, though Leah was in for Haydn. When the house first opened, the curtain was in so they could keep working on whatever they were working on, though someone did come out and test the gold flippy lights on the very downstage edge, which would not flip all the way for some reason, they kept making a weird noise, like they were getting stuck. During the show, they still didn't flip all the way over, but it didn't really affect the lighting. It was an interesting day to be sitting A12. :)

Interesting. But thanks for asking Kiril! Now I am extremely excited to see it Friday! Not that I wasnt excited before but now that I know who is going, I can relax.

Did Tommy ever go on as Tall Boy before joining the Billy rotation?

When the current Billys leave the show, will their final performances be announced ahead of time?

Sorry if this was already discussed in here, but I'm not about to go back and read 24 pages. Is Billy Elliot ever on TKTs?
With Cancellation line, how much are the tickets usually?
What are the cheapest tickets and are they horrible seats?

[sgv123]

Posted: 6/17/09 at 8:23pm

Yes, most likely their last performance will be announced.

The cheapest tickets are $41.50, and they are great seats. I don't think that they were or ever will be on tkts.

Cancellation line will offer you 126.50 seats, but at least they're usually damn good seats, like house or broker seats that get released. Once in a blue moon group tix will get returned and sold for 114 cash.

"Yes, most likely their last performance will be announced"

Do you know how far in advance they usually announce final performances? Like a week before? The night before?

Billy Elliot has just gone on sale at TKTS in London and it must be just over 4 years old now.

Tickets sell for £38 which is $62

When I was at the show last night, Santino was more emotional than normal and it made me think that he is leaving this week. My prediction is that he will play his last performance June 21st but Im not sure. Dont quote me here.

Again--the schedule may change...Kiril will be going on Thursday June 25th and Sunday June 28th.

Kiril might just tell people when they ask at the stage door, I know David has done that before.
