Chicago Publicity

Last night there was a promotional post show function put on by the press agency that represents the show called The Billy Elliot Bloggers Bash.

Two bloggers who attended write their thoughts about the show...

A third blogger wrote much shorter comments about seeing last night's show (though includes a nice picture of she and JP), but accomplishes the BETM intent of having bloggers promote the show in Chicago:

And here are some additional photos of the event:

Cesar Corrales, Emily Skinner and the Chicago Ballet Girls did a promotional appearance in Sacramento, CA earlier this week to promote the 1st Tour's San Francisco run next year.

The Billy Elliot on Broadway Facebook site published these pictures this morning of that appearance:

I think this is the EPK of the Chicago show.

The Chicagoist offers some details about a previously announced event, the September 12th Kenmore Live culinary event and also a new one (at least new to me as I haven't seen it posted before) an event featuring BETM cast members on September 20th at Petterino's restuarant.

Hmm. The link worked earlier, but now doesn't seem to be.

Damn

It now says "This video is private"

Ironically, the video montage video is contained within an article posted in the Blog Reactions to the Show thread, and it does work there:

The BETM kids modeled in a Bloomingdale's fashion show today. Here's some footage.
