Maybe it is time to open a Korea forum

Post by andrewcraig »

I cannot locate where I saw a post suggesting the the Korean BETM would/should be in english.

I found this which indicates that fuent Korean is expected. I have been wondering if Alex Ko would be co- opted to the Seoul BE in the same way Tom has been to Chicago.

Of course NY had Trent who was appearing in London, as a precedent but Australia did not import an experienced Billy from London for its opening. We did borrow Corey Snide when there was an injury.

Might I suggest after agonizing where to post this that a general Billy chat ,not specific to one country could be introduced.


AUDITIONS FOR BILLY ELLIOT KOREA TO BE HELD IN SEOUL IN NOVEMBER

The search for boys to play Billy in the Korean production of the show continues in November. Following successful auditions in Korea in February and August, the upcoming November auditions will also invite applications from 10-12 year old Korean boys living abroad.

We invite boys interested in auditioning for the role to upload a video of themselves singing and dancing on YouTube.com, then fill out an pplication form indivating the address of the YouTube video and send the application via email to billy@magistella.com

The application form can be downloaded from the offical Billy Korea website at http://www.musicalbillyelliot.co.kr. All videos will be reviewed, and those qualified will be given the opportunity to participate in the November auditions in Seoul, Korea. Successful applicants would be required to relocate to Seoul, Korea for a period of training prior to commencing performances there.
Requirements:

* 10-12 year old boys with strong dancing skills, especially ballet.
* Fluent spoken Korean.
* Availabile to relocate to Korea for training and performance purposes.

The Korean production of Billy Elliot the Musical is scheduled to begin performances in the summer of 2010 at the LG Art Center in Seoul. For more information, visit http://www.musicalbillyelliot.co.kr.

Perhaps you're right, andrewcraig. As things progress with the Korean production, we will need a section for that production. At the moment, the discussion about BETM Korea can be found in General Chat here: http://www.billyelliottheforum.me.uk/fo ... ilit=Korea
