US National Tour

[ERinVA]

EDIT: In an effort to begin to consolidate the Second National Tour information a bit, I have renamed this thread from Ticketing Information to simply "US Second National Tour," and have now summarized the schedule in the second post and added a post naming the first Billy, (other than Michael Dameski, who has been doing a lot of the tour publicity) whose name has actually been published as being in rehearsal for the tour, Daniel Russell.

As posted under Chicago Publicity, there is now a site for the Billy Elliot Tour, with dates and ticket information. I assume that as tour dates are added, and the time grows closer, we will be able to book tickets for the various venues through this site.

The Star-Tribune posted this article late last night about Michael Dameski and Gregory Jbara visiting the Twin Cities to promote the 2nd Tour. Though there a couple of things about their visit that I haven't seen elsewhere, this is an example of rushing an article to print without doing basic homework -- some factual errors that could have been avoided with a little research.

So that's three Billy's who have been rumored... When will the rest of the cast show up? I really am excited to see this cast... I had the opportunity to purchase 13 different dates (before they went on sale to the general public) so far... The rest is all up to the public transportation and my parents during weekdays...

13 different dates? So are you planning to attend performances of the tour traveling around the US?

Another review of last night's promotional appearance by Greg Jbara and Michael Dameski, this one from the WCCO (CBS Channel 4) Entertainment writer:

That explains Daniel Russell being added to the mix then.
