Your link just points to their general Facebook page, which already has had several updates today. This is probably the photo you mentioned. I agree it is a great one!

So, I'll ask my usual question - which Billy is this? Looks like a London Billy to me... Like Brad Wilson...

Any ideas or confirmations?

Thanks.

This is not publicity per se, but a factoid that I stumbled upon:

For those who remember the magnificence of the Opera House in Boston (where BETM spent last August),
you may be interested to know that Proctor's Theater was also designed by the same architect, Thomas Lamb, as a vaudeville house; was also sold to RKO around the same year (Joseph P Kennedy), and underwent the same sort of renovation ($24 million).

The first public demonstration of television happened in that theater (Schenectady was the home of GE).

It is a stunning theater. I am pleased that BETM will end its run in two beautiful, historic theaters that befit this wonderful musical. They are less than four hours apart.
