Tracking Billy Elliot: International Tour - 2013

Post by porschesrule »

A place to track who plays Billy/Michael/Tall Boy for the US/CA Tour during 2013.

Please note: As an aid to navigation of this thread, the many less than complete monthly charts (and any of my posts referencing them) will be removed, leaving just one complete chart for each month. Those removals will be indicated by "Post Removed". As much as possible, I'll try to keep the latest chart on the most current page of this thread.

For those looking for the completed charts for a particular month, they can be found by going to the following indicated page of this thread:

January = p. 1
February = p. 2
March = p. 2
April = p. 3
May = p.3
June = p. 4
July (no shows)
August = p. 6 (in progress)

So thrilled that Mitchell has made it back to the fore, having taken the lead tonight after having been felled in East Lansing for one reason or another. Hang tough, friend, because there are thousands out there who want to see you do your thing.

I will catch you down the road having been deprived of that opportunity during your second act last Friday evening, second act.

My best, Colin

I am new to BillyFan-ism. How does one find (figure)!out the cast data for completing the tracking charts? Does someone at the end of each performance report who played which role to someone in this community, or how does it work? How is the intel gathered and processed into these fabulous charts?

Is there a good way to forecast who might be scheduled for a given principal role in the very near future productions? There appears to be a fairly consistent, predictable historical pattern.

In London, where there is a fairly large group of "regulars" (sometimes called "super fans"), the reporting of the alternating roles for each performance is most often done by theatre-goers after a show.

With the tour, with no such regular fan base in each city, I have developed sources within the show who report the lineups to me so that we can accurately track the performances.

There is no set pattern for the start of each new week. However, once the order is established over the first four performances, almost always it will continue for the second half (weekend) of the week. But even that is subject to change due to illness/injury (case in point = this week in Greenville.)

The alternating cast members get an internal schedule which is not publically published (but sometimes cast members will post on personal Twitters or Facebook pages when they are performing in the next city or two). That schedule is always subject to change and I don't know who's performing for the first performance of a week until that evening.

I might also add that the tour tracking info for each day is never published on here until after the "board" has gone up, which means that no one will be able to choose a performance to see based on a particular Billy as a result of information posted on here.
