Any photos or was your camera with your ticket?

Showbiz Chicago has done a nice interview with Giuseppe. Enjoy.

I would have preferred to hold off on posting these until after we hear of Giuseppe's official debut, 'cept I couldn't wait'.

From the Stage Door last week:

Nice pictures Rich. Does anyone know if Giuseppe made his debut this week? For that matter anyone know who performed when this week? Once all the visiting forum people left town it looks like we are without any locals to report on such things.

I can't tell you who has performed, but I can tell you there weren't any shows Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday this week. So last night is really the only night we don't know who performed. Hopefully Giuseppe finally got his chance!

This doesn't answer the question, I'm afraid, but it's a nice article on Giuseppe. Enjoy.

Nice interview, Ellen, thanks.

Giuseppe comes across as a very mature 12 year old who has spent a lot of time thinking through his role as Billy.

Here are the Billys who have performed since the show began previews on March 18:

March

18 - Cesar
19 - Tommy
20 - (Mat.) Cesar
20 - (Eve.) JP
21 - (Mat.) Tommy
21 - (Eve.) Cesar
25 - Tommy

Though, as we know in the BETM world things are always subject to change, expectations are that Giuseppe won't debut until next week.

I have not seen it posted anywhere so where did you get this information from?

Sorry. I should have made it clear that this is strictly my opinion. I meant to say in my earlier post that it's "my expectation" that he probably won't debut until next week. This opinion doesn't come from any one particular source - written or otherwise. However, based on the past, as Ellen noted in an earlier post, it's happened before in New York where getting four Billys through technical rehearsals is a major task and from a lot of what I've heard and read about regarding the process in Chicago, I think my opinion is solidly based.

But, we shall see. As I said, things have been known to change in the BETM world.

Thanks, steadmam. Look forward to some reviews from you too.
