All the "happy" descriptions of Daniel are truly captured in Kyle Froman's photography. These photos are just fantastic, a beautiful glimpse into the tour production.

Great set of photos! I understand Daniel has returned to Australia - a well deserved return home after nearly a year away. Except it is late winter!cglaid wrote:All the "happy" descriptions of Daniel are truly captured in Kyle Froman's photography.

Re: Daniel Russell--Billy: Oz & US Tour
Agreed stunning photos. For fans of Daniel this backstage clip includes the tour cast singing happy birthday to Daniel.
BTW Daniel is not returning home to middle of winter, more like the start of spring.

Unless someone can provide a public statement of just where Daniel is, or can say they have permission from him or his family to post his whereabouts, this should be considered as speculation.kport wrote: Great set of photos!

Daniel was definitely an awesome Billy Elliot, and you are right he has an infectious smile. He even gives autographs with a smiley face attached!!
Re: Daniel Russell--Billy: Oz & US Tour
Proof is here! Daniel can be seen in photos in Dancin' Mates Facebook (his parents' dance studio in Umina Beach).ERinVA wrote:Unless someone can provide a public statement of just where Daniel is, or can say they have permission from him or his family to post his whereabouts, this should be considered as speculation.kport wrote: Great set of photos!

Re: Daniel Russell--Billy: Oz & US Tour
I would certainly expect him to be in Australia now, as confirmed by the photos. This is November. The original post was on August 27, not long after the tour went on hiatus. Not quite so clear then.
