Here is an article with many photos "Becoming Billy Elliot: Nolen Dubuc, 11, fulfills his dream of becoming the boy who loves to dance in the Stratford Festival’s production of Billy Elliot the Musical".

A very nice article about Nolen's "journey to be Billy", which literally involved a journey across country to play the role in Stratford. It's so great to read about the support his family has given him, including his brothers Sam (14) and Gabe (9) and mom and dad, Kristen and Yannick.

I was especially gratified to read that the family isn't treating this as "we're doing this for Nolen", but rather that the whole move across country for a year "is an adventure for us all". Nolen's mom, Kristen, concludes the article with this: “Not every family can just say, ‘Let’s move across the country for the year.’ We’re fortunate that way, that that was never a barrier for us, which it would be for a lot of families,” Kristin says. “It is chaos a lot of the time, organized chaos. It’s what we know. Everybody thrives on it. I don’t know, it works. We’re really glad that we did it and we didn’t panic.”

This appears to be a computer-generated article. It says "For the Arts Membership Theatre Firm, he additionally performed John Bechdel in Enjoyable House". The theatre is Arts Club Theatre and the musical is "Fun Home". The article is full of bizarre mistranslation like this.
