Facts about Billy Elliot and Billy Elliot the Broadway Musical

• In Billy Elliot on Broadway, there are actually three different boys who play the role of Billy Elliot.  There names are David Alvarez, Trent Kowalik and Kiril Kulish.  To see any of these boys performing the role of Billy Elliot, you can purchase your Billy Elliot tickets from the listings above!
• The reason there are three different Billy Elliots for the Broadway show is because the role of Billy Elliot is extremely physically demanding – it requires the lead actor to dance, sing, act, do gymnastics and speak in an English accent.  Moreover, the lead actor must be on stage for about three hours – a very demanding task for a young boy.  
• Interestingly, the Billy Elliot musical changes depending on which boy is playing the lead on a given night.  Because the boys have different talents (for example, Trent is more of a ballet dancer than a tap dancer, while the other two are more of ballet dancers), the shows work around each individual boy and the choreography changes depending on who the lead actor is.
• London’s West End production of Billy Elliot won four Laurence Olivier Awards (the British equivalent of Tony Awards).  To see this award winning musical, please purchase your Billy Elliot the Musical tickets from Cheap Tickets Monster!
