I’ve edited the BBC programme for you to just Brodie’s part. As requested, I’ve made the video public so it can be shared as widely as you want. Fascinating video

He was the 4th to the last Billy Elliot (39th) to debut in the musical’s original production in London and the 81st to do so worldwide, having starred in the title role just under 150 times. He’s fought physical adversity on his way to a career as a professional dancer.

Congratulations to Brodie who has been accepted into San Francisco’s Ballet School, to start in October this year!
He has also started a fundraiser to help with the move and school expenses, if anyone would like to help.

Related to this post, will he be able to travel to the U.S. anytime soon? Are the borders open for special cases like this? Or is it more like October 2021?
