For those who don't know, Albany and Schenectady are neighboring cities, along with Troy, forming the NY Capital District Area.

Ensemble member Richard Gatta is a Schenectady native. The Troy Record has a story on him:

Mitchell Tobin and Christopher Howard are mentioned in this column from Thursday's Albany Times Union. The title is At last, “Billy Elliot” steps onto Proctors stage, making it sound as if the writer is eager to finally have the show in his town.

The article twice states that there will be seven performances, but the ticketing site clearly shows eight. http://www.proctors.org/events/billy-elliot

Proctor's Theater Facebook page reports that "The show is currently loading into our mainstage and the crew is busy at setting everything up."

The Proctors Theatre Facebook page reports that ensemble member and Capital Region native Christopher Howard takes over their Twitter account for the day ( https://twitter.com/atProctors ) to report on today's opening day events.

On his public Facebook page, Albany CBS 6 news anchor Jerry Gretzinger has posted:

"Take a Break tonight with Billy Elliot. Join us at 5 as we introduce you to some local performers who are living their dream in the national tour, opening tonight at Proctors."

This photo of the stage taken from the balcony was tweeted this afternoon by Chris Howard using the atProctors account. I don't see any bridge across the pit, but there are steps on either side of the stage. Now it's a guess which side they will use for Small Boy's entrance, and Billy's final exit.
