Backstage tour with Ballet Girl, Lecia Oliver

Post by ERinVA »

Latest News
Last week Billy Elliot featured on CBBC's School for Stars, Ballet Girl Lecia Oliver gave viewers a backstage tour of the Victoria Palace Theatre and talked about how Billy is fulfilling her dream of being a West End performer.

Lecia attends Sylvia Young's Stage School and has to fit Billy into her busy school schedule which includes dance and acting classes. On the programme Lecia also described how the ballet girls have the quickest change in the show: just 30 seconds during 'Shine'!

Hmmm. You are correct. Layton has tweeted publicly about a couple of episodes in which he can be seen as well.

Maybe someone should send a message to them at the address for PR listed on this page:

Layton went to Sylvia Young for a year after leaving Billy. Then he moved over to Italia Conti.

Thanks for posting the BBC iplayer video. I must try and watch the rest of this series.

Yes, he did, but the series follows students at Italia Conti, not Sylvia Young's.
