Your First BILLY?

[ERinVA]

Mine was Australian Daniel Russell here in Tampa on Feb 4th 2011 - but I understand his father is American, and Daniel has an American as well as Australian passport, so I guess it is a bit of a toss-up. He was brilliant in the role and seems a nice, easy going Billy. I'm glad he is able to do this tour after such a brief stint in the Melbourne cast.

Welcome to the forum, kport. Glad you got to see the show in Tampa.

I wouldn't exactly call it a "toss-up," because Daniel has lived all his life in Australia, where his parents run a dance school, so I think that probably gives the Australians a stronger claim to him.
