Tracking Billy Elliot: Australian Tour - 2020

[porschesrule]

In this thread, we'll track the roles that have multiple casting of the BETM production for the 2019/2020 Australian Tour. As of this writing, we have no idea how much information we'll be able to gather here as this is a "clone" production and therefore a performance schedule won't be officially provided. It will depend on fans providing the information. We'll do the best we can to capture the Billy/Michael/Debbie/Tall Boy for each performance.

Like other tracking threads here on the Forum, only first names are utilized in this thread. To see the complete names of all the actors in the Australian cast, please go here:

Note: The role of Tall Boy will be played by one of the "off duty" Michaels and the role of Small "Boy" by a Ballet Girl.

Such as shame the tour had to end this way. I know how I'm feeling about this and I can only guess how cast and crew are feeling right now. Thank you for the great memories.
