I have now set up the section for the Swedish cast. I have started a thread for each of the three Billys. If someone else would like to add the threads for the rest of the cast, please do so.

Thanks. :D

Here's a bit of a swedish TV program. I didn't yet see the whole thing but in the latter part there's some Billy stuff and interview in the Stockholm tunnelbana ( Undergound).

Anyone know why the dates for the Malmö show are spread out so much? There's loads of dates missing e.g. there's only 7 shows in May. I'm trying to pin down a date I can fly over, but I'm struggling to find one that matches up with school holidays (except the start of April but I've already booked a trip to Iceland!) :/
If all else fails I'll need to book back-to-back trips ;)

Several of the European productions of the show are set up that way. Iceland has been doing just 7-8 shows per month for several months now.

I think that a lot of of the young performers are based in the Stockholm area and surrounds, and have trained at Base 23 dance school there. I assume that the week-end biased performances are to make life easier in terms of travelling - it's a fair distance to Stockholm - and to not disrupt their schooling. I have been costing a trip, going via Copenhagen airport and over the bridge to Malmo. Considering that Sweden has a reputation for being expensive, the hotel prices in Malmo seem very reasonable. Not sure about bar prices !

Fair doos, makes sense actually!
I'm doing the same flying easyJet from Edinburgh, arriving at 10:30am on the Friday leaving on the Sunday afternoon so I should be able to catch 2 performances. It's only £91 return which I though was really good!
