SEEKING:

  • Billy Elliot –
    Male (to play Age: 10 to 13)
    Vocal range: C5 – E3

    A boy who stumbles upon a ballet class and develops a passion for dance. To him, dance is a way to feel whole and free himself from the problems of life. He finds himself stuck between appeasing family and chasing his newfound love.

  • Dad
    Male (Age: 35 to 45)
    Vocal range: Eb4 – A2

    Billy’s stoic father. A widowed miner struggling with maintaining a household in lieu of a work strike, he is still deeply scarred by the death of his wife. Billy’s dancing initially sends him into a rage but he learns to support his son.

  • Debbie Wilkinson
    Female (Age: 9 to 12)

    The ballet teacher’s daughter. A bit stand-offish and argumentative, her childhood crush on Billy leads her to constantly discourage him.

  • Grandma
    Female (Age: 60 to 75)
    Vocal range: F#4 – F#3

    Billy’s eccentric grandmother. She is forgetful and a little aloof. Despite her inattention, she harbors a bitter resentment towards her dead abusive husband but has found solace through dance.

  • Michael
    Male (Age: 10 to 13)
    Vocal rang: B4 – A#3

  • Mrs. Wilkinson
    Female Age: 40 to 50
    Vocal range: Bb5 – Gb3

    The local ballet teacher who eventually becomes Billy’s mentor. Hardened and mouthy, she has capacity for caring when she sees promise in Billy. Believes in the power of personal expression through dance

  • Tony
    Male (Age: 18 to 25)
