Thanks, Ellen, for bringing us up to date on what occured in Charlotte. I, too, tried to sign into the livestream from the earlier event for the school children and had limited success. I gather some of the schools that it was being beamed to had problems as well. It's a shame.

But the evening's events certainly seemed worthwhile to attend and your description of them is very thorough. Good to see them "spreading the wealth" with the Billys at these promotional events and, in Daniel's and Kylend's cases, giving them something to do while they're waiting to make their debuts

...his response to those who have teased him in the past is now, “In your face! I’m 13 years old and playing the lead in a major Broadway show. What are you doing?”

Way to go Kylend!!!

The SouthPark magazine, a publication of the Charlotte Observer, has done an interview with the five 2nd Tour Billys in anticipation of the tour's stop there after the first of the year.

I'll be seeing the show in Charlotte beginning Thursday, Jan 27. I plan to see the six performances from then through the Jan 30 evening show, the last one in that city. All of my seats, save one, are in the center orchestra section, rows C and D. If any other fans will be there then, send me a PM and perhaps we can get together.
