Apparently the theatre "Il Sistina" in Rome will have its own production of Billy Elliot from May 5th-17th 2015.

It says on the page of the theatre they found "a very talented 14 year old Italian to play the part".

They're selling tickets already

I don't know yet if I get free from work. They're popping like mushrooms out of the ground! All of them at once! What about 2016 ?!

Here's the seating chart:

or if you use their site menu: on the right 'INFO E CONTATTI' then choose 'PIANTA DEL TEATRO'

The theatre is a bit larger than VPT or IMPERIAL.

Looks like BETM is planned as the season finale for a line-up that will kick off with The Addams Family:

I am going to merge this thread with the one that already exists about this production in the Europe and Beyond section.

They presented the boys who will play Billy: Tiziano, Alessandro and Christian.

So cool! First I thought the boy in the middle was a Michael, he's so impish

Here's a really bad google translation of the paragraph describing the three boys:

Three, along with many others, the musketeers for the role of Billy: Titian, Alexander and Christian. Several of stature, appearance, probably of character. Different backgrounds: Rome, Parma, Messina. Different verve, the voice with which they sing, Electricityl, preferences (if any, with an innate class on him, has in mind to opt for the classic, the other, more energetic, go on modern dance). The spirit, however, is the same: I want, I want to very strongly. Do not show boredom or fatigue. They do and what they refer Piparo asks them without blinking. Face without worries interviews, photographs, video footage. They answer questions on personal life with spontaneity and safety, yet pure, but already sharp.

A video of the Billy's and some girls who I think are either Debbie's or ballet girls

Has anyone managed to buy ticket?
I tried a few dates but I got the below error message everytime

"Impossibile eseguire la Sua richiesta. Si prega di riprovare in un momento successivo."
[Can not perform your request. Please try again later.]

Is there something I'm doing wrong?
