Billy Elliot will come to the Peacockteatteri
Thank you for this info. I was about to ask for it as I could not locate the theatre and I wanted to book a hotel nearby.

Here's a story about the opening of BETM in Finland next week. Among other things, it relates that about half the available tickets for the run have been sold to date.

The three Billys (Amos Brotherus, Henrik Bjorklund and Lassi Hivonen) were interviewed on Finnish morning TV. While the interview is in Finnish, non speakers of the language will enjoy the video footage of the show that is inter-spliced between the studio segments:

At the homepage of the Helsinki Theatre you'll find some awesome pictures of the production: http://www.hkt.fi/ohjelmisto/play.php?n ... =3&lang=fi
It certainly looks exciting!
