Is it only the family of the Billy's from Billy Elliot who know what days they are performing?

I really want to see Dean Charles Chapman Perform again as Billy in Billy Elliot the Musical in London and wanted to know what performances he will do.Is it only the family of the Billy's from Billy Elliot who know what days they are performing?
Yes, the Billys do get a schedule ahead of time, but nothing is ever set in stone, and the schedule is not given out to the public. The box office staff do not get a schedule of who will be on as Billy, so calling there will not work. They are there to sell tickets, not to give out the schedule. The only way to find out who is on as Billy is to look at the cast board in the lobby before a performance, and even then you may not get the one whose name is up on the board because of a last minute change. However, if you keep up with the schedule posted on the board for a while, you might be able to try to predict who will be on next, since Billys rarely do two performances in a row. But even the most determined attempts to work out the schedule are often unsuccessful.

Tinpanalleycat's answer is absolutely NOT TRUE.



Any professional performer in a union show has a schedule of the performances they are assigned to do. The only time when that will change is if a performer is sick or injured.



The theatre may not announce in advance who's playing Billy in a particular performance, but the actors will always know if they are scheduled to go on.



I'd suggest you call the Victoria Palace Theatre and ask if they have a performance schedule for Dean Charles Chapman as Billy. It will help if you have specific dates in mind.Is it only the family of the Billy's from Billy Elliot who know what days they are performing?
Even the PERFORMER doesn't know. There are 3 "Billy Elliots" and the one to perform is chosen just shortly before the curtain goes up... The same is true for the "Annie" in Annie.
