Here's another video featuring Jillis. Clearly, he is an experienced performer.

Jillis' last performance will be the matinee on the 28th of February according to multiple posts on public social media pages such as these: https://www.facebook.com/62589632749527 ... 93/?type=1 and his mother confirmed it here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3697032 ... 346124654/. Unfortunately he has grown too tall. I know many Dutch Billy fans will be there for his last performance and I hope I can acquire a ticket myself as well.

Google translator says:

"Many people ask me if it's true that I'm going to stop Billy Elliot. With pain in my heart I confirm that I'm in my last month as Billy. I've had a nice time unwise and am so glad that I can make it do this yet"

That page says it was Jillis's last show with ballet group two, not his final show.
