This looks to be a huge test of stamina and physical conditioning for the Billys, especially Noah. With just the two Billy rotation, both Billys will be at the theatre for every performance for the entire month-long run, with just Mondays off. As Tade has done this week in St. Louis, Noah will be performing as Billy every day of the week, with Sam sharing the matinee days (Wed., Thurs., Sat.). But, of course, unlike Tade, the Ogunquit Billys will have to do it for four weeks straight. Depending upon how they'll be scheduled, for either of the boys, it'll be especially tough when they have to do a matinee following an evening performance.
It would seem the Playhouse's decision to go with the two Billy rotation really has them betting on the boys' ability to stay healthy. If illness or injury were to happen to either of them, I can't see how the other could handle an eight show week that includes two shows on three of the days.
Who knows, maybe they've hired Myles as the standby Billy
