Daniel Russell--Billy: Oz & US Tour

Post by Dancer »

Well, the ninth and final Aussie Billy made his debut for the matinee of Saturday 25th April 2009, and reading the reviews his performance went down a storm! Well done Daniel, and good luck in your run!

Elsewhere on the forum there was comment of Dayton and Michael doing a Billy Michael duo. Imagine if now we have Dayton, Michael with Daniel as tallboy.
Id jump on a plane tomorrow for the 24 hour flight just to see that.

Let me think-----------------
A380 flight to LAX 14 hours plus 3 hour stopover, 5 hours to JFK Except for the cost not that daunting.
But there is coming home to consider.
Ill wait for more info on Daniel

Daniel just made his debut in Durham at the matinee and he was wonderful!!! No signs of nerves and he worked really well with the entire cast. I thought his acting was particularly strong with great facial expressions and good timing. Very sweet singing voice and (of course) good dancing.
Will post full reviews of my little Billython in Durham later this week but thought it was worth highlighting Daniel's great debut performance!

That's fantastic news that Daniel has made his debut on the tour. I have been checking the forum every day to see when he would start so well done Daniel. Hopefully the first of many shows in the US.
