Here's a very favorable review from INDYWeek.com:

And it's one of the best-written reviews I've ever read. And I've seen a few of them.

Wow, it's a small world after all ! I ate lunch at that very restaurant where they had the cast party when I was there this past Sunday afternoon before the 2 p.m. show. It's called Tyler's Tap Room, and it's right across the street from the theater. It's part of a complex which used to house the Lucky Strike cigarette plant, but has been turned into a neat area of restaurants and shops. Didn't recognize most of the people in the pictures. I'm assuming they were family members of the cast or some of the behind-the-scenes members of the production.

Looks like we both posted the same photo link, porschesrule. Mine was higher up the thread.

November
2 - Lex/Griffin
3 - Giuseppe/Jacob (Official Opening Night of the 2nd Tour)
4 - Lex/Griffin
5 - Giuseppe/Jacob

I feel for a fellow Aussie fan who has made the trip all the way to Durham. As good as I am sure Giuseppe and Lex are I have no doubt he will be very disappointed if he does not catch at least one of the Aussie boys by his last show this weekend.

Michael's 15th birthday is Sunday maybe they will have him 'Teched' by then. They can't run for too long with just two Billy's one would think unless the rules for performance time is different there!

There aren't any rules about how many shows a week a child can do on Broadway, and that is true of the touring productions as well. That is how the show can have only one team of ballet girls, for instance. The reason they use multiple Billys, in particular, is that it is such a demanding role, and fatigue could easily lead to very negative consequences, such as injuries, etc.
