The first two groups of names are indeed Michael and Debbie.

There are three small boys. (Tom, Oscar and Fridtjof, I believe.) You can see them in this video (0:45):

Posh Boy and Tall Boy may indeed be cast separately.

Yes, the Billy understudy damn well deserves some recognition!

I'm going to the first 5 shows - including the dress rehearsal on the 17th - and will report back.

Wednesday, 17 September Dress Rehearsal
But actually a full show.
Billy: Kevin Haugan that's all I can say so far.
No board - no playbill :? And which Michael was under the cap behind the specs - I didn't recognise.

So the cast are anonymous, as far as the audience is concerned?

No Playbill/Cast Board/even a Souvenir program?

Any idea why? Something to do with the Data Protection Act or other EU legislation? Or simply the thought that it is not necessary? Or 'early days'?

There is a program like the one in London. But there was no inlay. I think (and hope) that this has to do with the show having been a dress rehearsal. I assume the cast is the same as tonight's official opening. I'll ask somebody about yesterday if I get the opportunity. The ushers I asked yesterday don't know anything about the show itself.

Thu Sep 18th Opening Night
No Board, no playbill, no inlay.
Billy : Kevin
Michael : I'm pretty shure same as yesterday and I squinted here and there - I think it's been Thomas like it was scheduled. I can only say it's not been Sebastian as he sat few rows in front of me. I will get to see the other Michaels - got tickets close to the stage. I might be able to tell them apart after I saw all of them.

Maybe they announce if the cast differs from the schedule.

The schedule links, posted earlier in this thread, no longer work.

They've just redesigned their website.

DenP who sat close to the stage said(reviews thread), he can confirm it was Thomas playing Michael.

Edit: I just was doing a bit of thinking: :shock: :lol:
Michael's cap was yellow yesterday. And he's in the yellow team, which was scheduled to perform. I have a feeling the cap of tonight's Michael will be blue.
One more edit:
Nix ! Sebastian was Michael today(Fr,19/9) and he also wore a yellow cap. Moreover in an artikel posted here on the forum (Aftonbladet) it reads Nora was Debbie at the opening night - and she's supposedly with the blue not the yellow team. This shows us that 'we haven't got a hope in hell' to track the Norwegian show! :?

So for the record:
Thu 18 sep Kevin/Thomas/Nora
Fr 19 sep Kevin/Sebastian/Katarina but not 100% shure
