Hello!
I was lucky enough for my birthday on Tuesday to receive Billy Elliot tickets for tomorrow's matinee performance (16th Jan)!!
This will be the first time I ever see the show!
I am familiar with the Billys, Michaels and Debbies, and know that I'll be able to find out which I see according to the cast board (may I ask where that is?)
However, I was wondering is there any way to know which Tall Boy, Small Boy and team of Ballet Girls I am watching, from their appearance, as I don't believe it is written anywhere at the theatre? I know there used to be a post somewhere that described each of the boys' appearances, but I can't find one now!

Thank you,
and I am so excited for tomorrow!

Hi LaurenF

Going by the tracking thread it will be Dinnington Ballet Team tomorrow and their Tall Boy is Lewis. You will probably have to wait until next week when the tracking thread will probably say who Small Boy was.

The cast board is in the main entrance where the counter is to sell merchandise. When you go in there is usually somebody on the left hand side selling programmes. Look to the right of them on the wall and the cast board is there.

I hope you enjoy the show. Please write a review, however short, to let us know how you found it.

Hi Lauren,

The current tracking thread for London that Billy Whiz referred to can be found here: http://www.billyelliottheforum.me.uk/fo ... 8&p=114243

I've just made the post for tonight's show, minus the Small Boy who hasn't yet been reported. If you check back later, once we know who Small Boy is tonight, it is usually the same actor for the matinee on Saturday (not guaranteed).

If you want to look back over the past year, go here: http://www.billyelliottheforum.me.uk/fo ... f=8&t=5353

I hope this has been helpful.

Thank you so much for all that info!!
I will try to remember to take a picture of both the board and the outside of the theatre, and will of course try to write a review!
I usually do one for most shows I see!
I had assumed that about small boy :)
thank you again!

Thank you so much also,
that has been really helpful!
I am really looking forward to watching tomorrow. I have watched Billy Live, but I am sure it will be such a rewarding experience to see the show whilst in the atmosphere in the theatre! also very glad to catch it before it departs the west end!

Fellow Gravesendian Ashley Cousins plays Ben. He joined the cast after taking his A Levels at Meopham School. He played Tall Boy in Billy Elliot the Musical at London’s Victoria Palace Theatre, while he was still at school.
