I saw three of the last shows in Rome last week and was impressed by the way Billy has been put on stage in Italy.

Review (in Dutch) can be found here:http://www.musicalnieuws.nl/news/read/b ... -soul.html

I also had an interview with Massimo Romeo Piparo, director, about the show and the choices he made. The interview (in Dutch as well) can be found here: http://www.musicalnieuws.nl/news/read/i ... lliot.html

Part of the success of the Italian tour of BETM is the great job they're doing with advertising. Here's the latest video from the tour's Facebook page:

You can get an idea of the audience size, here. What a glorious theatre (Teatro Municipale in Reggio Emilia, Italy) !

Translation:
Debut in Reggio Emilia just ended . Public conquered in one of the most beautiful theaters in Italy !

This is a recent video post about a press conference and taster of BETM coming to Milan:
Today , the theater Prince of Milan , was held the press conference of the musical Billy Elliot which will debut at the New Theatre on December 10 . In a setting that respects the style of the musical theme , here are a few moments of performance of the cast. Music by Elton John .

This is the press conference itself, in Italian:
