On 13 November this year, the Australian incarnation of the British smash-hit Billy Elliot the Musical will finally take to the stage at Sydney's Capitol Theatre.  If the recent performance at the 2007 Helpmann Awards is any indication of what we can expect, the show will certainly mirror the success of the London production.

The full cast is yet to be officially announced, however, the names of most principals have been released...

• Billy Elliot - Lochlan Denholm, Rhys Kosakowski, Rarmian Newton & Nick Twiney
• Jackie Elliot (Dad) - Richard Piper
• Mrs Wilkinson (Dance teacher) - Genevieve Lemon
• Tony Elliot (Brother) - Justin Smith
• Edna Elliot (Grandma) - Lola Nixon
• Michael Caffrey (Best friend) - Landen Hale-Brown, Thomas O'Doherty, Joel Slater & one TBA
• George & Mr Braithwaite - Linal Haft & John Xintavelonis
• Billy's Older Self - Josh Horner

We congratulate these cast members and wish them well through training and rehearsals. We look forward to further announcements and equally wish success to all involved.
