Elliott Hanna

Post by BEJB »

Liverpool dancer Elliott Hanna has taken a giant leap towards stardom after becoming the youngest boy ever to play Billy Elliot in the West End. Elliott, 10, will tonight take his first curtain as the fictional miner’s son who dreams of being a ballet dancer

Elliott appeared in Britain's Got Talent with his partner Tayluer in 2012.

Here is a video of them in the Final where, I think, they finished second.

With a name like his, how could Elliott not play Billy?

Not only is he an Elliot(t), but his last name is Hanna, the same as Steven Hanna, Older Billy on Broadway. And judging from that Got to Dance video, I agree with patc that he can play Older Billy too. That is one strong kid. And what facial expression!

Welcome Elliott. Break a leg this evening. :D

Had to LOL at a Billy named Elliott. And finally that line in the show works: "He's only ten. What's wrong with giving him a childhood?"

Break a leg tonight Elliott!
