Billy Elliot the Forum

Carson will play Tall Boy:

He has already built up an impressive resume of theater credits:

It is immediately clear that Carson is an experienced stage actor. I am so pleased that the creatives were able to give him a little more to do than the usual Tall and Posh Boy roles. As examples: in the opening scene, when Billy drops the first F bomb, he turns to Tall Boy and pulls a face, which TB reciprocates, before walling off stage with Michael in conversation. He is also about the first whose 'He's 'eard' is actually clearly heard, at least by me. In the boxing scene, he mugs a faux boxing fight with Small Boy and Michael, while George dresses down Billy; he then grabs Micheal's feet as the latter tries to leave; and after George tells him to bugger off, he replies with a satisfied 'Cush!' and gives George the middle finger as he leaves. Carson appears to be 'in charge' of Small Boy on stage, a job that clearly takes a lot - a lot - of his attention!

I hope he has another chance to take part in BETM in South Florida. With his stage presence and clear talent, he could perhaps return as Michael, or as Billy. He looks as though he really enjoys this musical.

Congrats to Carson who will share the role of Billy in the Venice Theatre production, opening November 8th. Carson previously played Tall Boy last year's Maltz Jupiter production.
