I'm quite interested in the musical, too. Unfortunately, I haven't yet had a chance to fly to UK and see the show; but I always check out the info. on forum of BETM. Besides the original ones, there have been many Billys performing in the play: Leon Cooke, Travis Yates, Colin Bates, Metthew Koon, and the upcoming.

Yeap Beatdacy,
My fav. performer is Liam - and I hope that the Musical will go on tour - because if they play it in Spain for example it will be much more easy for me to see it.
Thanks for your comment.

How do you know who is your favorite if you haven't seen everyone's performance?

Well I have watched a lot of videos - while live performance would be different I still can get some kind of idea - to me Liam gets into the music and the dance - and he used to be at the Royal balley school - there are few interviews of him and he seems really cool as a person as well.

I hope that too ! The musicle is as good as the movie if not better - it does deserve a DVD - and so do we- the fans!
I think colin bates is the best billy eliot. He shows a great deal of talent for his age and puts on amazing british accents. The best billy eliot!!

Colin is pretty good dancer indeed James - I find his personal style to be a bit more aggressive than the one of Liam trough - which is not necessarily a bad thing

I agree with James colin bates has to be the best Billy Elliot to date, it will be hard to top him

I'm from Canada and I saw Billy Elliot this past week when I went to London for the week. I had the chance to see Colin Bates and yes, he is the best Billy. I;'ve seen so much footage of the others, and while I find Liam to be great and very deep, Colin just won me over. I'll be watching his career very closely. His final performance in rthe musical is this week.

Billy Elliot has to be one of the best musicals i have every seen, and the set was fab!Colin bates is an amazing dancer, people say that he wasnt the best bily but i think he was an amazing actor and dancer... i cant wait to see him in other productions.

I think while most people favoured Liam, Colin follows closely behind. I have come to find that Colin has a strong following in the UK and its spreading around to the US. Billy Elliot was the best thing I have seen onstage. Training in acting myself, you would think that Theatre is always impressive to me. But it actually takes quite a bit to impress me onstage. So if I say this about Billy Elliot, you know its gotta be amazing hahaha. Colin is one of the most genuine and talented performers I have seen period. And as I said, it takes alot for me to think that way about an actor or a play or film. Ofcourse, he still has evolving to do, as any other actor, but he will do great things in the future.

Yes Kim a DVD with the musicale would be great , but I doubt that it would happen before they play it in the US. Other then that as I have said many times my all times fav Billy is Liam
