Impressive!

Can anyone tell me whether Lee is still part of BETM London, or do I need to move him to Former Cast?

It's a good many years since Lee was actually in the cast. I can remember well being next to him in the ordering queue at Nandos quite some years ago when he mentioned that this was his last peformance on stage but that he would be Resident Choreographer. He was also involved in the great Billy Youth theatre. He was still Resident Choreographer in the programme during the period when Josh B/Ryan/Adam/DCC were playing Billy but he is not listed in the latest programme I have. The only time I have seen Lee in recent times was in Allington St. earlier this year (might have been 12th May-ish but it's hard to keep track of time). So he is former cast but I'd be very reluctant to be one to put forward the view that he is entirely finished with London BETM until he says so .

The one thing that IS sure is that Lee is a class act and always a gentleman to the core.
