He left on December 15, 2007, after only 6 months and 50 episodes of playing the role, and at the age of 13. He still looked plenty small and young enough to perform the role of Billy. What happened?Why did Oliver Taylor leave "Billy Elliot The Musical" after only six months?
It is a Billy's choice whether he wants to stay in the show at the end of each 6 month contract period or not. Some stay as long as they can (until they age out), but others prefer to move on to other opportunities. Oliver is not the only Billy to have stepped out of the show by choice before he outgrew the role. In any case, I'm sure he and his parents carefully considered the pros and cons before he exited the show.
