Jacob and his mom posted the following on Jacob's Facebook Fanpage as a reminder to all about his last BETM show:

"This is it friends! (except my mom got it wrong and Sunday's show is at 6:30!) Thank you all for your support!!!!
Last chance for anyone who still wants to see Jacob Zelonky perform the role of Michael in Billy Elliot. He will be in Louisville, Kentucky performing Wednesday, June 27 at 7:30; Friday, June 29 at 8:00 and Sunday, July 1 at 6:00. That's it!! He will not be performing in any other cities after that, but the show is wonderful and you should see it anytime it comes to your town. Congratulations Jacob, love you forever!"

AND

"If you are planning to see my last show in Louisville, please message my mom, Barb Gelb! She has something up her sleeve..."

It was Jacob Zelonky's last show as Michael tonight. He told us at the stage door that it was his 260th performance. That is a remarkable feat for a remarkable young man.

Great photos BW! Those socks are something else. Is there a story behind them?

Note also the inscription on his shirt (partially hidden by the shoulder strap of his bag) "See Ya Billy" Very appropriate for today I'd say :)

On the side of the socks it said, "<heart symbol> Tessa" in smaller letters.

(I tried to insert an actual heart symbol character, Unicode U+2665, but I got a SQL error. No UTF-8 in the database?)

Yes, we got "See ya, Jacob."

"Yeah, see ya, Zach."

Jacob, you were an awesome Michael! I'm sorry I didn't get to Louisville this weekend, but I've seen you perform a few times and loved your Michael every time. Thank you for being a wonderful part of the Billy family, which of course you always will be!
