Brad Wilson is Billy Elliot

Brad Wilson is Billy Elliot

Postby rtm2008 on Sun Dec 07, 2008 3:00 pm

Twelve year old Brad Wilson started his London run as Billy Elliot on December 1st 2008. His program biography is:
My name is Brad and I am 12 years old and live in Doncaster with my Mum Karen, Dad Jim and two brothers Tom (15) and Keegan (18 months). I started dancing when I was 9 years old. Since then I have studied ballet, tap, jazz and contemporary dance. I have danced in many competitions and won many medals and trophies. I was invited to audition for Billy Elliot over two years ago by my dance teacher, Marilyn Baker, and since then I have been training up in Leeds before moving to the Billy Elliot House in London.

Im spreading the current Billy love, as this these threads are a bit slow :roll: :lol:

Brad is an amazing Billy, it's nice to see a great ballet billy , but Brad adds a cheeky, edgy side to Billy. It's soo amazing how so much power and stamina can come from something soo tiny :D

Brad is amazing! He completely saved the day when i went - i saw matinee and evening. Fox got injured after Born To Boogie so Brad did 1.6 shows that day and was phenomenal. His dancing was amazing, his singing was very good and it was his acting that impressed me the most (i knew his dancing would be amazing).. his facial expressions - particularly in the ||Finale - were hilarious :D

Is anyone able to upload Brad Wilson and James Lomas' appearance on Ready Steady Cook? If so it would be greatly appreciated. I'm dying to see it. Sound awesome! :D

Former London Billys James Lomas and Brad Wilson appeared on the BBC program Ready, Steady, Cook today, January 27, 2010. As they prepared food, each former Billy answered questions about the show, and Brad performed a bit of tap. The video is now available in the UK Video Gallery.
