It seems that a production is going ahead in Stavanger in January 2017, just under 200 miles from Oslo. No information to date on the length of the run.

The show is actually set up in Sandnes, which is just 25 minutes by car from Stavanger on the west coast of Norway.
Here is the link to the theatre:

Opening night will be 25th January 2017, and they are planning for 25 shows in January/February next year. Tickets go on sale in May/June.
Apparently they already have five boys in their own "Billy school":

Although the article says 25 performances, there's only 9 dates listed on their site now. I'm hoping that it is 25 but they're not all listed, I'm seeing Stockholm on the 11th & I'd like to fly to Stavanger and see it there in the same trip if I can!

Unfortunatly the show in Sandnes has now been postponed with one year. Now opening in January 2018.
Link to the announcement on the theathre's website:

A quick Google translate of the article:
Billy Elliot postponed one year
The opening night of "Billy Elliot" is first in January 2018. Sandnes Culture Centre has trouble finding enough guys to the lead roles. The premiere was set for Wednesday January 25th 2017. In April Sandnes Culture Centre opened up for ticket sales from the premiere through 3rd February. Now, those who bought tickets can choose whether they want their money back, or new ticket for the show in 2018.
If we were doing this again, we would have started with the training measures we now are using, writes Culture chief Anders Netland in a statement.
In April said Netland to Aftenbladet that they knew who would be told that they were taken out for a starring role in the upcoming musical "Billy Elliot." Now, in June, two good boys are trained up to star as Billy and his mate Michael, but it needed at least two more.
