Australian Producer Louise Withers said, “Having been a part of the life of Billy Elliot worldwide for over 13 years, we are absolutely ecstatic that we have the opportunity to bring Billy back to Australia. The Australian creative and technical team of the 2007 production, have since been taken across the world to stage productions in other countries, including Japan and Korea, and the original Australian Billys are excelling in their chosen paths of the industry. It further goes to show that Australian artists and creatives are leaders in their field. This 10th Anniversary Tour will bring our Australian team back together, to re-stage Billy and celebrate its 10th Anniversary here in Australia.”

I’m hoping that one or more of the former Australian cast Billys will dance the older Billy part, at least for part of the tour. Who would be your favorite to see after ten years?

Rhys Kosakowski

He was my favourite dancer in both the Australian shows, and although he pulled out 2 months before the end was outstanding.
I believe he is on contract to Houston Ballet

John Corey Snide
would be my choice for older Billy. He is still dancing, like Rhys. Either one should be impressive and be fun to see in BETM.
