Some good pics of the cast in rehearsal

Thanks for link. Nice also to see that gentleman of gentlemen, Lee Proud, who has a long association with BETM is the choreographer. Layton and Lee working together again should be worth a look.

Nice article about Layton. The line in the introductory paragraph is a little misleading though, as it makes it sound like he played Billy longer than anyone else. I assume they meant that the show in London was the longest-running of any of the Billy Elliot productions.
