It's official: BETM will come to the Netherlands

[thm]

.... they probably won't need bringing along their Dutch dictionary.

See you all in The Hague!

Maybe some local fans could organise pre-show crash courses!

Just back from the 'Circustheater', where the nice box-office ladies did proclaim me their launching customer for BETM and did sell me wonderful central front seats for the November previews.

For those from abroad considering coming over to experience the Dutch version of BETM the following information may be of interest...

Wow, thanks for sharing all this great info! I know there will be several interested fans reading your message very intently!!! Well done on the investigative fact-finding mission, FlyingDutchfan!

If you buy tickets online, here some of my experiences:
Best use a PC. None of my 8 different browsers on my 3 android devices allows the seat selection or does not even display the interactive seating chart.
Choose your seat by first selecting the area/price category(like 1.Rang) and then point on the chart. Don't choose 'best available' you'll get seats way back - which made me believe the show was nearly sold out. I thus paid double price for a 'platinum seat' row 6 now seeing the rows 5 and front are still available

Here is a publicity video for Billy Elliot NL. Looks like mostly the standard publicity footage, but I don't think I've seen the ghostly images used before.

Hi FlyingDutchfan

Do you know about the platinum tickets? Do they worth the extra? do you know what's included in the backstage tour? They showing the theater in general or the specific show's sets and custumes etc?

Thanks,

Istvan

So, it's official. I'm going to see BETM in The Hague in December. I just ordered my tickets. If BETMLive isn't broadcasted in Belgium, it'll be my first time I'll see the musical, and I really can't wait to see it. I'm still planning to go see the original production in London sometime in the future, but that won't be for this year.

According to the offical BETM-The Netherlands website, the complete adult cast for the show has been completed. The child cast is still to be announced.

According to a Dutch tv show, the first 6 Billy's will be announced coming Tuesday at a special press conference. They also said that on the 31st of August the Billy's will have their first public performance at the Uitmarkt, which is comparable to West End Live.
