THE curtain will come down on the first touring production of Billy Elliot The Musical this month and for one 12-year-old Lancashire lad that means sleeping in his own bed and a return to lessons at Haslingden High.
Henry Farmer will have played Michael, Billy’s best mate in 13 different venues, all over England as well as Cardiff, Dublin and Hamburg. He performed on stage in front of 3,000 people in Edinburgh and will have spent three quarters of the last 20 months away from his family and friends.
It’s bitter-sweet for Henry. He telephoned his mother Julie, 48, to ask: ‘What am I going to do when it ends? I am going to lose all my brothers and sisters.’
