New London Season Sadlers Wells opening April

This came as a shock to me but I received a few moments ago

quote
THEY impressed Peter Kay – and now two of the stars of Bolton’s Got Talent will be taking to the stage at a leading London theatre to perform the hit West End play Billy Elliot.

Jaiden Sayer, who won first prize in the competition, held to mark The Bolton News’ 150th anniversary in December, will take the title role – a part he has wanted to play since watching the musical in 2016.

The 14-year-old will appear in the production at Sadler’s Well Theatre in London alongside competition runners-up, the talented members of Theatre Works — which he has since joined.

part of the rest
Jaiden, who lives in Westhoughton, will take to the stage in April, with his proud family watching him.

Mum Linzi said: “He went to see Billy Elliot for the first time at Christmas in 2016 and right at the end, when Billy was flying, Jaiden said he would like to play Billy Elliot.

“He has been practising at home. He dances every day and now he is singing. He is excited and nervous about playing Billy Elliot.

“Since winning Bolton’s Got Talent he is more confident and at the competition Theatre Works made his feel so welcome and he has fitted in straight away and gelled with the group.”

Sadler's Wells website shows a full schedule for April, but no mention of Billy Elliot. Assuming the article is referring to April, 2018. If April, 2019 then young Jaiden would be 16 or 17. Don't book your tickets to London yet fellow Forum fanatics.

From what I could deduce, it will be a one-off show by Bolton's Theatre Works (a dance school in Bolton). Sadler's Wells has theatre space that it hires out for such events.
