This new video on the B.E. Broadway website (Scenes from Billy Elliot) appears to be the London cast. I liked seeing many scenes not usually shown in promotional videos: http://www.billyelliotbroadway.com/sigh ... php?id=253

Yes, that's the current London cast. It's good to see a new EPK with current faces. I love the one with Colin, but it was past time for a new one, and I'm delighted that they have used Dean-Charles as Billy.

Here is a youtube link to the same video.

If you haven't been on the BETM Broadway website lately -- what they've done with the 30-second TV spot featuring Dean, from the earlier mentioned EPK, is innovative and a downright spectacular sight for anyone entering the BETM site. That 30-second spot is the first thing you see and is done utilizing the user's full monitor screen and features a continuous loop play of the ad. You can then click on "Enter the Site" or "Buy Tickets". Really, really well done in my opinion.
