Here is a nice article about Bradley, from the Rotherham Advertiser:

Unfortuantely the headline is misleading, as Bradley plays Michael, and not Billy.

Bradley has joined the UK/Ireland tour cast. He did his first performance as Michael on Thursday. Congratulations Bradley!

Here is the announcement on Facebook, along with a photo:

Bradley stars in this 13 minute short film Ballerino from 2018. It's a fun twist on the Billy story, like a parallel universe were the boys take dance classes, and have supportive dads. Still the look and feel is the same, including the sets and dialect. Within the first few seconds we hear the same phrases familiar to BETM fans like "for F-xxxs sake" and "we're gonna be late".

Set in a Northern England town in a topsy-turvy world where football is for girls and ballet is the manliest pursuit there is, one working class boy defies society and his father's wishes in favour of his repressed fascination with his sister's sport... football.

Loved that film! Surprised I never saw it before. Very well done!
