My son is in this show and although it is a small production, I am very impressed with the talent and professionalism of all involved. I, too, wondered what the script modifications would be, but they are staying true to the intent. For example, in Solidarity, instead of saying "went and f'd your Mrs." They are saying "fooled 'round with your Mrs." So the meaning is the same, but the language softened.

There are 2 Billys in this production, my son, 9 year old Parker James Fullmore from NY and 11 year old James Ciccarelle from NJ.

Welcome to the forum, annmarie13. We look forward to hearing more about this production.

A number of productions have made slight changes to soften the language. The North American tour used the phrase: "went and shagged your Mrs.", ie: changing just a single word. That at least made the number sound closer to the original.

When annemarie mentioned that the second Billy is James Ciccarelle, I thought we had a third Billy, as porschesrule announced the first Billy as James Gallagher. It would appear that both are one and the same (?). Both James and Parker have quite a lot of experience, with professional management - and even listings under IMDB!

It is through the latter that I came across this rather remarkable Youtube trailer from a film that James was in, called Reflection:

Hexagon Players has posted the entire cast list. Unfortunately, other than James and Parker, who plays which role is not identified.
