Here's a story about the opening of BETM in Finland next week. Among other things, it relates that about half the available tickets for the run have been sold to date.

The three Billys (Amos Brotherus, Henrik Bjorklund and Lassi Hivonen) were interviewed on Finnish morning TV. While the interview is in Finnish, non speakers of the language will enjoy the video footage of the show that is inter-spliced between the studio segments:
