About midway through it was fun to see them doing dance moves in the second floor lobby of the Imperial, which is where some of the Billys used to do their warmups. :D

I've never heard anyone call him CJ before. I like it and don't at the same time. :D This interview was great!

As long time members of this Forum know, Corey Snide was the 10th boy in the world to play the role of Billy Elliot on stage when he debuted in 2007 in London’s West End. He’s led a very active performing life since. We've consolidated those post Billy achievements into a Life After Billy segment of his original profile at our sister site. It can be found here:
