BETM coming to Chicago March 2010

[dancinboi]

Has anyone heard about casting for Dad? Some time, back when it was thought that the next production would be in San Francisco, I read that Greg Jabara would be moving on to play Dad there and anchoring that show. Do we know if he will be going to Chicago? Any word?

I don't think there is any indication that he will move from NY.

As soon as there is anything out there in the press about other casting for Chicago, we will be sure to put it on here.

An interview with Stephen Daldry at the press announcement for the three Chicago Billys. There is also some footage of Tommy doing Electricity but with no sound

Actually there IS sound...its just very faintly under the interview And Ive never seen a roll like that in Electricity before

Leon did a roll, but not exactly like that.

Thanks for finding and posting that, Billy Whiz! Tommy was looking GREAT!! And yes, I could hear the sound as he danced, but only faintly.

[tzwicky]

The sound was awful, though I could certainly hear the music that Tommy was dancing too.

Glad I finally got to see Tommy dancing and looking all ginger and super-cute, instead of just super-cute and in-waiting.

Good catch on the Leon Roll. I've seen it in person, too, as Leon is one of my most-seen Billys. Nice to see them trotting it out with/for another Billy.

But did anyone get what sounded like an atomic sized cicada sound running throughout the whole video?????

Very annoying. Perhaps it's a Mid-western thing. Ya know, an hour in the wrong direction and all that so the sound never quite synchs.

(Hooray for the first South Florida Billy)

You're right Steven. I watched the video with headphones whilst having the TV playing as well. The sound of the TV must have drowned out the background music.

Greg told me on Saturday that he will be appearing in NYC for at least one more year. However, he will have more time off, especially in the spring (as much as 2-3 months off, or at least very limited engagements).
