Here is the playbill. It's nice to see the Ballet Girls all individually named.

The Playbill claims to list the cast "in order of appearance", but then starts with Billy and doesn't get to Small Boy until well down the list.

It is certainly not in order of appearance. Mrs. Wilkinson is listed just after the Billys, but she doesn't appear until the third scene.

The program (both online and printed versions) left out Debbie, a major omission. Debbie is played (very I might add) by Erin Haggerty, a student of Thommie Retter.

Also Carly tamer who is also a former cast member of the billy Elliot national tour where she play Angela robinson

Every once in a long while, a video shows up that features something about BETM we've never seen before, or which we just don't normally get to see. Well friends, this is one of those, and it's an absolute must-see. Check it out...a behind-the-scenes view of Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher taken recently at The Gateway's production of Billy Elliot The Musical, featuring Mitchell Tobin. Enjoy!!!

Well, that certainly made my day! Great find, Sean! It reminds me of the show when I could see Mitchell (as standby for Brandon, wearing mufti) dancing his heart out with joy in the wings during the Finale.

It was a riot to watch. Thanks for posting it, Sean. As someone who has worked back stage for many shows, I can say it really is a fun thing to do.

No, it has not been available in the US for some time.
