Brad Wilson is Billy Elliot

[rtm2008]

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

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

Did Brad used to be a small boy in the show?

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

Sounds like Brad needs to get over there and see Brad Hope he last the year till December

I reckon he could easily still be there
I reckon Fox and Tom could easily still be there next December.. and Brad. Don't know about Tanner 'cos i think he's a lot taller.. i haven't seen him perform though, except on TV
Brad is amazing so i hope he's still there

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!
