Re: Carlos Puts - Billy
Carlos' performance this night was highly emotional, and dare I say it, perhaps one of the best I have ever seen. Will post a full review tomorrow, but what I can say for now is that this boy is very f-ing special indeed.

Re: Carlos Puts - Billy
Carlos posts on Instagram today that he is in London and apparently spent some time with the London Cast...

Re: Carlos Puts - Billy
Carlos has posted a picture on Instagram showing his parents' tickets for all the performances they saw.

A quick count shows over 100 shows!
Now with not one, not two but THREE children in the cast (Floris as Michael and Elsa as a ballet girl), it must have been very hectic to keep the ship on course for the Puts parents. No 'Billy House' as in London, so lots of driving to and from the theater in Scheveningen to get them there and back.
That got me thinking a bit, so I looked at how often Carlos and Floris played together. It seems that the company was trying to be kind to the family as the schedules of both Carlos and Floris were heavily biased towards them playing together: 15 of the 48.5 shows for Carlos (and if I have counted correctly of the 45 shows for Floris). I don't know what ballet group Elsa was in, but she would have done another 24 shows.
A lot of commitment from the family! Carlos says in his post: WOW, my parents have been there a lot! I miss it, it was such a great experience.
Are there any other occurrences worldwide of two brothers playing Billy and Michael together? And any of the two of them plus another part (ballet girl or tall / small boy)?

Re: Carlos Puts - Billy
I would just add that some of those could be multiple tickets to the same show, so the number of shows could be considerably less. Still a lot though, and still awesome!htcpt wrote:Carlos has posted a picture on Instagram showing his parents' tickets for all the performances they saw.

Re: Carlos Puts - Billy
Oh yes, certainly! I am quite sure that many of those shows must have been seen by both parents. And maybe from time to time by non-playing siblings as well!angelenroute wrote:I would just add that some of those could be multiple tickets to the same show, so the number of shows could be considerably less.
