The cast of Billy Elliot the Musical will be the largest in Porchlight's history and includes Jacob Kaiser and Lincoln Seymour sharing the title role of "Billy Elliot;"

Glad to see two Billys listed, after a long spell of productions with just one.

Another BETM in the Chicago area, yes!
Anyone here planning on seeing this? Any reviews or reactions so far?
I've got tickets for Oct 28. Can't wait. :)
