The Toronto Star sent two men actually named Bill Elliott to see BETM and give their impressions of the show. Definitely something different :)

But you'll be happy to know, both Bill Elliotts loved Billy Elliot :)

CTV is going all out to promote the show today. Here's a picture with the caption "Billy Elliot the Musical Takes Over 299 Queen Street" (which is the address of the CTV studios).

Pretty brief show. Myles. Marcus, J.P. did short interview and did the tap routine that Billys do together. I guess that means that Cesar is doing tonight's show again and then J.P. would have to be doing tomorrow's. I admit my prime interest in checking out the show was to see if the Cesar situation came up. It didn't.

It's too bad you will miss the first session due to having tickets for a hit Broadway musical that evening. :lol:
