Personally, I suspect David Barker of fronting the money. So that he can go down there and take a photo or two.

Re: Sao Paulo, Brazil
Broadway World has new information about the tour stop in Sao Paulo, including the fact that tickets go on sale to the general public on May 14th:
http://brazil.broadwayworld.com/article ... t-20130502
Note the unusually late performance times (9pm most evenings), which means the show won't be over til almost midnight. Brazilians must be late night people

Re: Sao Paulo, Brazil
If Brazil is any thing like Spain when I traveled Europe 10pm was considered a normal dinner hour. I remember eating diner in a hotel at 8pm and almost being alone. only the tourist restaurants were busy.porschesrule wrote:Broadway World has new information about the tour stop in Sao Paulo, including the fact that tickets go on sale to the general public on May 14th:

Re: Sao Paulo, Brazil
Given that Noah has publicly posted he is not going to Brazil, do we know who is? Surely they aren't going to run with two Billys? Are we sure its the current tour cast? Or maybe just the sets being shipped down and a Portuguese cast?

Re: Sao Paulo, Brazil
It's the North American tour cast as stated in a May 2, 2013 Broadway World article:Lightman7 wrote:Are we sure its the current tour cast? Or maybe just the sets being shipped down and a Portuguese cast?
"Universal Stage Productions, Working Title Films, Old Vic Productions and NETworks Presentations, LLC announced today, in association with Time for Fun (T4F), that the North American Tour of Billy Elliot the Musical will travel to South America for a limited three-week engagement..."

Ticket information is also on the official BETMUS tour website:

As to your question about the Billys, it is unlikely that they'd go with just two Billys, but no official announcement has yet been made in that regard.
Re: Sao Paulo, Brazil
We were able to find out some of this information last weekend in Grand Rapids. Several forum members asked Drew and Mitchell if they were continuing on to Brazil, and they said yes. Also, in talking with Joel Blum, he said that "a little over half the cast" would stay with the show through Brazil. Rich Hebert also told me he would finish it out by going to Brazil.

At Grand Rapids Samantha and Cameron both told me they were going to Brazil.

Also for what it's worth: Chris Howard told me he is going through twitter awhile back.
