Yes, a misprint. The show they are actually presenting is called "Billy of Ages", a story about a boy who wants to sing songs like "Big Spender" but his father wants him to perform old folk songs.kport wrote:This is curious (from the website):

I'm happy to hear they have a Billy cast, as that promises he's a well-trained professional or at least already in training, but surprised to see the phrase "unpaid positions" for some ensemble. Is that common?The Gateway Performing Arts Center of Suffolk County is currently casting for its upcoming summer season. While the role of Billy Elliot has been cast, Gateway is seeking ensemble positions for their production. These are unpaid positions and there is no participation fee. Talent may be considered, although conflicts with other production schedules will not be permitted and will be cast accordingly.
Those auditioning for the ballet girls, please wear ballet attire or formfitting clothing. Bring ballet shoes, tap shoes and pointe shoes if you are proficient in pointe. Those auditioning for the role of Michael, please bring tap shoes and sneakers and wear clothing suitable for dancing.
Auditions will be held on Saturday, May 16 from 4 to 9 p.m. at Stage Door School of Dance, 655 Montauk Highway, East Patchogue. Signups begin at 3:30 p.m and close at 4:30 p.m. Please prepare 32 bars of music to sing, and bring sheet music. Accompanist provided.

Music Theatre of Wichita and Gateway Playhouse
I recently closed the National Tour of BILLY ELLIOT the Musical where I was the Resident Director and Assistant Stage Manager.
The Gateway has a very active children's program. It is quite common for children's roles in large scale productions to draw upon local kid talent.angelenroute wrote:I created an account and because this is a one-off copy and paste for Billy fans interested in the Patchogue show, here's the full text:kport wrote:Children's Open Casting calls are announced.
