With the story of Billy Elliot in mind, Canada's National Ballet School is offering four free, manly Father's Day BALLET IS A MAN'S GAME, NO TIGHTS, NO TUTUS, NO GIRLS ballet workshops for fathers and sons - boys aged 5 to 7 and 8 to 10 (two groups) - on Wednesday, June 8 and Wednesday, June 15.

See the details on Mirvish's eStage Newsletter:

Here's a new publicity clip for the Toronto production. Again, the Billy is British, not North American. Looks like Rhys Yeomans to me. Can anyone confirm this?

Wow very hard to tell, but I would also guess Rhys.

[Billy Whiz]

Definitely Rhys.
