Carlos and Pia appeared on rtl boulevard:

That looks like a great interview. I wish there was an English translation available for it.

It's not really special, they mainly tell things we already know, maybe except for the fact that Carlos' next performance will be Saturday (matinee or evening performance is nog specified) and that he'd like to play Billy everyday, though he acknowledges that's physically impossible.

Not sure where to post this but the Dutch production of BE has been nominated for 10 Musical Awards (the Dutch Tony/Olivier awards basically). The nominations:

Pia Douwes (Mrs Wilkinson) for leading actress in a big production
Bas Heerkens (Dad) for leading actor in a big production
Carlos Puts (Billy) for outstanding young performer
Noah de Vos (Michael) for outstanding young performer

Several nominations for the crew as well, and of course it is nominated as the best big production. Stijn (Billy) is nominated for outstanding young performer as well for his part in De Kleine Blonde Dood.

Just got post from Stage Entertainment. But instead of the souvenir broshure they sent me another program. So if anyone is interested....

Did anyone receive the souvenir brochure yet? It wasn't available until the gala opening night but it could be ordered.

Apparently Billy Elliot has been honored with his own Tulip Variety.

Since I do not read Dutch, I am depending on Google to translate this Instagram posting made by BillyElliotNL which says:

" Billy Elliot got his own tulip! Stijn and Floris were baptized officially today with Albert Verlinde!"

And yet another example of how well BETM NL is publicizing the show there, little cakes offered to those attending the event:

I remain very impressed with the professionalism and creativity of the management group there.

Floris and Stijn performed a shortened version of expressing yourself (with Floris losing his microphone thingy halfway through): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fey414hQTR8

The Carlo and Irene Show feature the 'Billy Elliot tulip'.

Carlo and Irene have the official Billy Elliot tulip on the table. Last Wednesday, the tulip was baptized by Albert Verlinde . This he did with Stijn and Floris , which play the role of Billy and Michael in the musical. The tulip is a tribute to all the young talents who play in the musical.
