A nice article about Emily Miles, who plays Susan Parks. She has just been given a second contract:

Each of them have their own unique facial expressions, and personalized 'quirks' that are quite humorous and entertaining. I suppose I focus primarily on Billy, so have never really paid 'close' attention to some of the peripheral characters.

But I have been quite entertained by the 'goings on' as the girls prance around the stage, and strike up their individual poses, reactions and performances. Several of them have cracked me up at each show. Well done girls... Thanks for adding yet another dimension to the this show!

It's been said on here many a time that the Ballet girls are the 'unsung heros ( or should that be heroines)' and they all do a marvellous job, in enhancing the show.

I always love it when a story like the one posted by kport several posts back hits the press. They deserve all the recognition they can get.

And btw, for those who are 'regulars' at the London show and see the girls often, if you're interested in putting a name with a face, a list of all the current Ballet Girls by team and by the character they play in the show is exclusively available at: http://www.theskykid.com/billy-elliot-m ... ation-2/2/. Just scroll down to "Ballet Girls" and click on "Current" for the appropriate chart.

It looks as though they are auditioning for the next round of wonderful Ballet Girls for the London show:

They are the too-often-unsung heroines of this show!

Many congratulations to the Eden Team of Balet Girls, who had a splendid first performance last night. It was evident that they brought their own cheering section to the show!

In the London tracking thread, each performance's listing for the Ballet Girls just lists the team name. On the BETMUK website, the 30 current Ballet Girls are listed alphabetically.

For those interested in the specific team and character each girl plays, such a listing can be found at http://betm.theskykid.com/billy-elliot- ... rmation/2/

Just scroll down to Ballet Girls and click on the "Current" chart for the information.
