Liam Redford will play Billy for a 5th time this August. This ties Mitchell Tobin's and Matthew Dean's record for the most number of different productions.

http://www.encorepub.com/stepping-out-billy-elliot/But becoming Billy means becoming all his parts, through pain and happiness, according to Redford.
“This show is really like an emotional roller coaster,” he admits. “It is difficult to show Billy’s anger towards his father and brother, yet still love them. His everlasting love for his mother and his best friend, Michael, is always present. He’s grateful to Mrs. Wilkinson, but he can’t show it. It is difficult to express every little thing he goes through, but I try my best.”
