Had not noticed before that the Billys and Michaels are paired. Is that what has happened in other cities?

I've read that was the way it was originally in London. Each of the originating Billys had their own Michael, but then they got away from that and I haven't heard that to be the case in any other city where the show has played.

It may not be that way for long in Chicago either -- just until the Billys are comfortable in their roles, then you may start to see them switching off.

It's interesting that this pattern didn't really develop during previews but is consistant since opening night.

I would guess they have done it this way to put an experienced Michael(Keean)with two inexperienced Billy's. Tommy gets to be a good influence on Gabe.

If you look at both April and May you will see that Giuseppe paired only with Keean.
