Saturday, November 27th is going to be a sad night with a lot of the cast leaving but we should not forget that a lot of the ballet girls will also be leaving. Only one troupe will be there to perform on Saturday night so let's not forget the other two troupes who will leave on Tuesday and Thursday.

Well done girls. You are all superstars.

I will be around on Thursday and Saturday nights so with their parents' permission I hope to get some photos of the ballet girls.

Well said,Billy Whiz. I don't pretend to know the length of a Ballet Girl's stay in Billy Elliot, or their schedule. One thing I do know is that they are all an integral part of the show, and their contribrution is valued and much appreciated.

Thanks for the links.

The Ballet Girls are the unsung heroes of the show.

Kaitlyn Hill will join the cast as Angela Robinson. (The writer of the article must have had a bad phone line; hence, "Angela Dobson." 8-) )
