[broadwayfan66]

[drummenator]

I'm 99% sure that it was Trent.

[BillyEinspired]

how did they decide which billy did opening night?

[drummenator]

Stephen Daldry decides. I don't know how he decides, but it's up to him.

[KaraokeKid22]

anyone know how long the originals are there for?

[broadwayfan66]

they are looking for their replacements right now

[HaunaMyKiki]

Kiril's leaving Oct. 3rd.=(

The other two Billys don't have a departure date yet. It'll extend until their voice breaks or they grow too tall.

I've seen all three perform. they're all outstanding performers, but if i had to narrow it down between the three broadway billies, id say david is the best of the three. (:

Trent Kowalik Preformed Opening night

[loveya718]

so which billy opened the show?

[homeimps]

David Alvarez appeared on Opening Night. Which technically means he is the only Billy eligible for a Tony. But he isn't close to the 8 required performance a week. Hopefully the rules will be relaxed and allow for a joint nomination for all 3 boys. I saw Kiril, who was incredible, and hopefully a great kid as well as a very talented one.

[nikcodemus]

Trent Kowalik performed the opening night, not david alvarez who did press night.

[homeimps]

OK, I accept your greater knowledge of the event. I should not have presumed, as I wasn't there. I do know that critics do not attend attend Opening Nights.

[RENThead91]

I hope that the rules can be bent a little for them. They are fantastic and it would be a shame for them to miss out on a Tony nomination because of a technicality.

[Tapkid11]

the committee ruled that.. "David Alvarez, Trent Kowalik and Kiril Kulish are eligible to be considered jointly in the Leading Actor in a Musical category for their performances in Billy Elliot the Musical.
