I can just imagine Nora Brennan as a little girl dreaming... "when I grow up I want to be a full time talent scout searching for new Billys" :lol:

Porschesrule, I totally envy Nora Brennan's job! She discovers these innocent, ripe, dancers and pushes them toward stardom, and so she gets the enjoyment of meeting these boys, as well as the gratifying feeling of discovering a gift to the world. Oh how I wish I were a Billy scout for Billy Elliot. New dream job?

The quest continues...

This call doesn't specify which production the audiitons are for, but it's presumed they are for possible openings in any of the US productions:
