Julian Elia: Billy - Toronto & New York

[CJ-Rochester]

Before the show started Gina Rattan, the resident director, came out and made the announcement, as she did for Giuseppe's debut. She announced this would be a special show as Julian was making his debut as the 16th and final of the multi-talented boys to play Billy in the Broadway production.

She gave us a little background info on Julian, mentioning that he came from the Toronto production and asked everyone to welcome him. There was strong applause, setting the stage for what would be an excellent show.

Per the schedule (Peter on vacation + Joseph and Tade did last 2 shows on Tuesday night and today's matinee) I'm expecting hopefully to see Julian tomorrow night at The Imperial. Can't wait! =)

Julian graces the cover (and has the lead story) in the latest issue of Dance Canada Quarterly magazine, a picture of that cover was posted by his dance school, Elite Danceworx:

Thanks for the link Liam. I wish the music was a little quiter so that you could hear clearly what Joseph was saying

Wow this was nice! It is a great ensemble piece but Julian and Rosie are both featured quite prominently. It's cute seeing brother and sister pirouette together at the 1:20 mark.

Here is a great opportunity to see Julian on stage again. Julian's family has asked me to share with all the fans that he and his sister Rosalie will be performing in the Elite Danceworx year-end show in June. They will each be in 6-8 numbers, including a solo by Julian! The rest of the show will be great too. Remember, this is the dance school that, in addition to Julian, brought us Ty Forhan, and So You Think You Can Dance Canada stars Joey Arrigo, Lindsay Leuschner, and Geisha Chin.

The show runs June 11, 12, 13 at Flato Markham Theatre, 171 Town Blvd Ctr, Markham, Ontario, just north of Toronto.

Ticket go on sale this Friday, May 25 at 11:00. I understand that this show sells out fast, so don't delay.
