Thanks for finding these, David. I thought this footage looked familiar. Contrary to what the video says, much of this footage was taken on March 18th (not the 11th). That was the morning of the first preview when I stopped by the theatre and witnessed a lot of this going on. I made a comment back on page 3 of this thread indicating that Giuseppe was signing tickets and I had left mine back in my hotel room. Having a Billy sell tickets at the box office is a great public relations move!

I have been given permission to post that Giuseppe will be leaving the Chicago show next month and will be joining the 2nd national BETM tour in North Carolina when it begins this fall. I had heard him talking about it with some fans after the show I attended in Chicago this past Wednesday and verified it with him personally a few minutes later. He said he's excited about getting to see different parts of the U.S. !

Thanks for that information Todd.

There goes another Billy that I won't get to see

I do believe that if you attend every performance while the tour company is in your city, you will see him more than once.

Giuseppe is scheduled to perform a "sneak peek" in Cleveland on September 10.

The PlayhouseSquare Community Engagement & Education Department presents its eighth annual Dance Showcase on Friday, September 10 at 7 p.m. in the Palace Theatre. Featuring nine of Northeast Ohio's finest professional dance companies, the performance highlights a wide array of dance styles from ballet to contemporary to classical Indian dance.
. . . . .
At the close of the show, guests will be treated to a special sneak peek dance performance from Elton John's new show Billy Elliot the Musical. Guiseppe Bausilio, currently playing the role of "Billy" in Chicago, will perform "Electricity."

Giuseppe shows off his fine singing voice with a rendition of "The National Anthem" at a recent Chicago Fire soccer game:

And yes, that's the American National Anthem, not that of Switzerland
