Seems they're selling seats from Wed through Sun consecutively through June 14. I know you're excited to see the last show, Dondringo, but I kind of hope they're just doing an Icelandic siesta and then start up again in the fall. At least that's what this British gentleman said with some authority in Copenhagen. I'm sure no one has ever been given misinformation from a Billy Elliot fan.

But why would they sell tickets if the show wasn't to go on? Doesn't make sense.
Or do you mean a siesta after June 14?
Edit: Oh I get it...had to re-read your comment. Oops

Here is a very interesting article about Lee Proud, choreographer of Reykjavik's BETM, who appears to be back in the UK now.

Finally I can make it to Iceland, this or / and next weekend. But they're sold out! Wouldn't that be a good reason to prolongate the run of the show and sell some more tickets

So glad I got my ticket for the final show. I'm in Iceland now...going mountain biking today.

Just returned to the hotel from the show. I was floored by the exceptionally high quality of this production. The choreography, set design, orquestra, and the talent, oh the talent, on that stage was of the highest order. Blown away over here...and not just from the wind.

Don't forget to post a review in the Reviews section.

I've seen a few European productions of Billy and the Icelandic one was by far the best.
Exceptionally talented children cast, and a very thoughtful interpretation of the musical.

And exceptional adult cast as well. Grandma in particular stood out to me as outstanding, but they were all superb. Iceland is a country full of extremely talented people whether they be actors, musicians, poets, writers, dancers, etc. This country certainly packs a punch when it comes to the arts.
I'll try to write some kind of review later, although I'm not very good at reviews.
