Here are some excellent production photos on Arts Club Theatre Company's Facebook. I am particularly impressed with #11, in which Billy and Older Billy are doing simultaneous aerials during Dream Ballet.

According to this article, this show has been extended by a week:

The popular musical has had 26 sold-out performances at the 650-seat venue since its opening date on May 12, making it one of the highest attended productions in the company’s history.

That is exactly what Ogunquit experienced. Congratulations!

I always thought it was Mr. Fitch.

The two different roles are played by the same actor, just as the Scab and the Posh Dad are also played by the same person.

So, Scab and Post Dad are played by the same actor. Both of their sons, Tall Boy and Posh Boy, are played by the same actor. Maybe the real story is about a scab whose son is taking ballet lessons (at a different ballet studio from Billy) and he also goes to London for an audition. Not wanting to create a scene with Dad, he adopts a posh accent. Meanwhile, Posh Boy, seeing a familiar face in Billy, goes to comfort him after the audition.

Perhaps. I found a refreshing change at The Maltz, where (in the opening scenes) Tall Boy stayed with Michael when he asked why everyone was angry about Maggie Thatcher. It was nice to see, for a moment, that Billy and Michael had another mate in the community.

At the Arts Club, Posh Boy was with Billy for the MT comment.

Here’s some more good news: After a successful five-week initial run, “Billy Elliot,” that marvelous musical staged by The Arts Club Theatre Company, will be extended until July 17 to accommodate the high demand for tickets at Vancouver’s Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage. The 650-seat venue has averaged a house fill of 95 per cent, with 26 sold-out performances, making it one of the highest attended productions in the company’s history. Wow! Tickets start at $29 (604-687-1644, Artsclub.com).
