Postby rtm2008 on Fri May 30, 2008 1:00 pm

is BFox, age 13 from Hornsey, auditioned for the role of Billy Elliot in January 2007 and has spent the past year in training. We are now able to announce that he will be starting his run as Billy at the Victoria Palace on Monday June 23rd 2008. Prior to starring in Billy Elliot Fox attended Highgate Woods School and played "Young Andrew" in Hogfather, danced at Sadler's Well and was in The Bill. Fox begun acting at age 6 and started break-dancing at age 9 and took up ballet and tap shortly thereafter. Fox will be the first London native to play the role of Billy, and his family has previous connections with the company, with his brother having previously served as Tall Boy.

Yep, that's what it says; not much available to be found about him yet...

To clarify, when you go to this link the video that comes up with the boy with the yellow shirt at the start, Fox is the third boy, the one crawling on the floor.
In the other clips, there is one where a black kid talks and then a white kid talks. The second kid is Fox in that clip.
He may be in some of the others on this page as well.

A Message from God

Postby deebeeeff on Thu Jul 31, 2008 6:09 pm

I had a message from God today. He told me who my first Billy would be. Took mom to lunch, didn't notice any paper on the ground outside my car door, but when we got back to the car there was a 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper on the ground by my door. In big letters it said...

Fox Jackson-Keen - General Chat

Postby Brad on Mon Sep 22, 2008 12:52 am

Fox was the first UK Billy I had the pleasure of seeing. He was also my third :lol: :lol:

What an extremely talented young man. While Fox shows all the outsanding singing, dancing and acting abilities, the thing that stood out the most in both of his performances was his facial expressions - absolutely amazing. I can honestly say I have never seen a Billy who has the same fantastic expressions that Fox has - truely memorable.

Thanks Fox - it was a great way to start my stay in the UK and certainly one that I will remember for a long time.
Cheers

Brad

The Fantastic Aussies:-
NICK x 6 Amazing; RARMIAN x 4 find that hard to believe!; LOCHIE x 2 surely more?; RHYS x 8 superb; COREY x 1 Special; DAYTON x 7 1st and Last; JOSH WAISS GATES x 4 Can Sing; MICHAEL x 2 yep; JOSH DENYER x 4 So Right
THANKS TO THE WHOLE AUSSIE CAST

UK: Fox x 2, Layton x 1, Josh x 2, Tom x 1
USA: Kiril x 2, David x 1

Fox is my favourite Billy (I've only seen 2 but i've heard and seen most of them in some way or another)
I've met him twice and he is absolutely lovely :) I'll try and make my photo with him my avatar soon

His dancing is phenomenal.. his singing is good and improving all the time! (it's best on stage :)) and his acting, like Brad's, impressed me so much. He's so cute and his facial expressions - also like Brad's - are fantastic. He's extremely talented and i really hope to see him again!!

Fox: 3.4
Brad: 3.6
Tanner: 1
Ollie: 1
Dean: 1
Tom: 1

Future Shows: March 27th matinee & evening (Fox's and George's last show)
