I saw Billy Elliot The Musical in London on 14 July, 2010 and have no idea who played Billy on that particular show. Any idea where I can get the cast list for the show I saw? ThanksWho played the role of Billy in Billy Elliot the Musical in London, 14 July 2010?
You saw:
Ollie Gardner as Billy
Joe Massey as Michael
Fleur Houdijk as Debbie
You can find out who played all the principle characters on any night by going to:

Jaime R.'s answer is correct and I agree that Billy Elliot the Forum (she gave the url) is a great source for anything having to do with Billy Elliot the Musical. A couple of corrections, though, to some other answers given: 1) There are actually four boys who play Billy in the West End, not three. They are Ollie Gardner, Dean-Charles Chapman, Rhys Yeomans and Aaron Watson. 2) It's not true that the Billy for each performance is chosen at curtain time. There is an internal weekly schedule, so the boys themselves know who is scheduled and who the standby Billy will be for each show. That schedule is not shared with the public as last minute changes do occur (sickness, injury, etc). Who will be playing Billy for each performance is shared with the public via a cast board in the lobby, posted approximately one hour before curtain time and an insert in the program.Who played the role of Billy in Billy Elliot the Musical in London, 14 July 2010?
There is no way to know. There are THREE boys who do the role and the one to play Billy is chosen AT CURTAIN TIME so unless you can find the stage manager's records, there is no way to know.
Go on the official website, they have a cast list, picture and bio. Good luck with finding them!
