Dayton Tavares--Billy: Oz & Broadway

I noticed that, too. But he'll only be 14 then.

Maybe they will next put him in the US touring show?
Or maybe that's just the length of his initial contract, with re-negotiation at that point. They probably want to renegotiate every Billy's contract more frequently once they turn 14.

It may be limited but it might be the same as when the first 3 Billy's started in London. They kept stating that in 6 short months their time in the show would be over. As we all know now that a Billy will stay in the role as long as they are still the right height, singing voice and are happy. 6 months is just how long between each contract renewel. Liam went on to stay for quite some time in the end.

Wow look at those feet move!!! You just know his Angry Dance is going to be amazing.

Providing they don't ask Dayton to tone down his "Angry Dance" you will all be totally blown away by his version. He would throw in a few powerful karate kicks that all but demolised the bed in the scene. Plus he had the reputation of being the Billy who would pepper the dance with the most number of invectives (the famous "F" word), not to mention the longest and loudest screams as well.

The screaming and cursing brings ALOT to that dance...the angrier the better in my book!!!

I was half way through the channel 7 segment of soon to be a Broadway Billy ex Aussie Dayton Tavares, and everything seem to disappear. I have had a few drinks and maybe I am to blame.

here is the channel 7 interview with Dayton and his Mum in NY

I loved his respect for another famous Aussie appearing across the road.

It would seem you are not to blame. The video does now not work - or at least not for me
