We haven't heard of anything special happening at the final show, but I can't imagine that nothing will happen. :?

This is happening on Friday, January 6: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Billy- ... 2227957639

Regarding dedications and messages, we also have a thread set up on here for you all to post your messages to the cast. Here's the thread: http://www.billyelliottheforum.me.uk/fo ... =72&t=3151

I hope that we will start receiving some nice dedications and messages in this thread soon. We know the cast members read the forum, so this is your opportunity to say your thanks to them here on the forum.

In this story about BETM Broadway closing, among other things is noted the following:

"“I’m so proud of the brilliant young performers who have mastered the role of Billy on Broadway,” composer Elton John said when the show posted a closing notice three months ago. Look for about a dozen of those Broadway Billys, including at least two of the three originals, onstage at the last upbeat tutu-covered finale. It will have played 1,304 performances."

Although this doesn't confirm the "tag team" rumor, it does confirm that something extra special is in store for us. :D
