Despite the flow of new Billys though the Billy house in the UK, the latest Billy was an import from the US.

Either he is outstanding or there was nothing suitable available, when needed.

It is nice to see that the home team can be counted upon to supply the Mother Country with Billys! One observation: that Geordie accent had better be spot on!! The locals will take note.........

Every one of the 70 or so boys chosen to play the role worldwide are outstanding. Otherwise, they would not have been given the job. And I suspect there are British boys in training whose time will come soon enough.

I very much doubt that any London lad would be allowed to appear on Broadway in the same way as the new boy from Seattle, in the UK.

I might have thought so, but then they brought in Michael, Dayton and Daniel from Australia. If they can do that, I suspect they could bring in a British Billy. However, the vicissitudes of Equity casting are strange and interesting sometimes.
