Daniel is the latest blogger on the Official Billy Elliot website -- the blog where Kate Hennig has posted so many backstage moments about the show. Catch what Daniel has to say about his life as a performer and backstage on the Tour in what appears to be the first of several blog entries:

That's a great blog, and a nice way to learn something more about Daniel. Hopefully this will be the start of a trend and we will hear from some of the others down the road.

Great blog by Daniel. I love the moment he shared when he found out that he was going to be Billy by the producers, then when out on the street he yelled at the top of his lungs, "I'm Billy Elliot." After 2 1/2 years he made it. That must have been some feeling.

Here is a really wonderful interview with Daniel:

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note I caught Daniel's last show tonight--it was amazing, probably one of my top (one of a few!) favorite Electricity performances

I also saw Kiril Kulish in the lobby before the show but didn't see him come out of the stage door so I wondered if he just saw the show and left right afterwards. Great to see a past Billy support a current one!
