Schenectady has been added to the Tour itinerary. It'll play at the Mainstage at Proctor's Theatre there (seating capacity: 2,646), on June 4-9, 2013:

Awesome news! This is something that had been rumored for a few weeks.

Since I love it when former Billys do promotion work in their hometown area, I hope Corey Snide and Jacob Clemente will be able to help the local Albany-Schenectady residents be inspired by Billy Elliot The Musical.

The coolest thing about Schenectady is its ZIP code: 12345.

My Google Alerts (set to scour for new posts about 'Billy Elliot') of late have been turning up a lot of rubbish - but occasionally it turns up a little gem. Here is one, for those of us who remember the production in Schenectady - the show's Playbill, in full:

I'm confused. Is the whole tour being reignited? I was under the impression that it was just a one off thing, but they basically got everybody on the bill. ???

No, it is the Playbill from June 2013.

Ohhhh...duhhh...hahaha. I was about to get excited.
