Billy Elliot the Forum

On 24 March 2010 at the Victoria Palace Theatre, 12 years old Rhys Yeomans from Oldham, Lancashire, will become the 40th Billy Elliot. Rhys Yeomans said "I live with my Mum Joanne, my Dad Mark, my two cats Jerry and Junior and my little rabbit called Snowy. I started to dance at the age of 9 at Centrepointe Dance School in Denton, Manchester. I have enjoyed every moment of my Billy Elliot training in London and I am really excited about my first performance on stage in front of a live audience! I would like to give a big thank you to my Mum and family for supporting me and Caroline Wright, my dance teacher from Centrepointe, for being such a brilliant teacher."

Not sure about that, Muppet, but there's another former Billy that he almost for sure knows -- Matthew Koon. They both learned a lot of their dance technique at Centrepointe Dance School http://www.centre-pointe.co.uk/ in Manchester.
