Billy Elliot the Forum

Does this tie in with the anniversary of the rebirth of the Tour? If so, it would be a natural date for contracts to expire.

Forum posts from September 2011 indicate that the Tour began rehearsals at that time.

Noah posted on his public Facebook page last night:
"Surprise surprise. Went on as Posh Boy tonight for the first time while stand-by for Billy! So much fun!"

It's not clear from this if Noah did the whole show (ie: Tall Boy as well) or had to take over for Jake mid-show.

Jake did Act 1 and Noah went on for him at mid-show and did Act 2. I have changed the master chart to reflect this.
