Thanks for posting, David. I haven't seen any announcement from our usual public sources yet, such as Broadway World, Playbill, etc., so it will be interesting to see if his name is on the board this evening. If so, this will certainly be an interesting evening with lots of new cast, plus a brand new Billy, to see.

Ali's trial for BETM is mentioned in his school's December 2012 online newsletter, which is open to the public:

Scroll down to page 9. Hugh Tunstall College of Science is in Hartlepool, about 20 miles south of Easington, the fictional setting of Billy Elliot. Ali is in Year 8, which is Grade 7.

The link seems to be broken.

This is on the Billy Elliot UK public Twitter.

Tonight the new members of the adult cast and a new Billy join the show. Retweet to wish them all good luck on their first night.

Sorry for being Ozzy but what is the tweet address so I can follow

According to the Billy Elliot UK facebook page, Ali will indeed be joining the show along with the new cast this evening:

Good luck to Ali, tonight.

Looking forward to the reviews.

In the Boxing scene who will he be? Cassius Clay or Mohammed Ali?
