Finding Billy Elliot 5/8

A documentary about the nationwide search for three young actors to share the lead role in Broadway's Billy Elliot the Musical offers viewers an exclusive look at how David Alvarez, Trent Kowalik and Kiril Kulish were chosen to play Billy Elliot after a year-long national talent search that drew thousands of hopefuls from all over the country. Auditions were held in cities across the country and all three of the Broadway Billys, along with twelve other finalists, underwent a grueling ten day callback last summer in New York City during which director Stephen Daldry and choreographer Peter Darling worked with them extensively.

That piece by Sir Elton John is so good! As for the American Billies, just looking at this vid, my fav is probably Trent. He seems to have this raw power in him that Billy has. A pity I probably wouldn't ever get to see the Broadway version.

@nicki446 yeh, they transfered American Billy's over when they realized it would take the "Billy's" about 18 months to train, as Trent had alreayd played the part, they knew he would be fine.

but hadn't Trent already been in the show on the West End? or was he picked for the London show after auditioning for the Broadway one?
