Billy BBQ

Yesterday I had a Billy party. The Billys, Michaels and my dance friends came. Even Colin (one of the older Billys was there) and we got to have the party at my cousin's HUGE house.

We went out on their boat and all got soaked at certain parts when we went over a wave.

My cousins have a huge pool, so we all got to go in the pool also!!

Check out some of the pictures from yesterday:

Making a big splash with a boat entrance!

Playing in the pool.


Dodge ball!


Billy cookies (made by my sister).

My dance friends!!

Colin Bates water skiing.

It was over 100 degrees in this hot tub!!

I'll post a video later that we filmed that day where I answer more of your 4 billion questions ;-) (...with some help!)

More Answers!!

Hi everyone!

Here's answers to some of your BETM on Broadway questions and some pictures from our first week of rehearsals:

Will performing Billy on Broadway be much different to performing Billy in London?

I think it'll be total different because I'll be with my parents in my hometown!

What is your favourite style of dance? And what do you plan to do after performing in Broadway?

My favorite style of dance is tap. I still want to be on the Broadway stage when I get older!

When you come back to NY to do BETM on broadway will you be living at home or at a brand-spanking new Billy House? When you were London, did someone make all the dinner (and I literally mean the dinner that comes after lunch!) and if yes, is there a menu like school lunch?

Back in London, we did have a hot lunch cooked for us, but for Broadway, we're all still trying to figure out our housing.

Who do you share a room with in the Billy house?

I started as roommates with Sam, Sean and Corey, and by the time I left, I was with Layton and Hogan! With Billys retiring and leaving for Australia and a house change, it was always different.

Other than your friend David Bologna, do you know who else will be playing the role of Michael on Broadway?

Here's a picture of them! All three Billys, along with two Broadway Michaels, David Bologna and Frank Dolce:

David thinks something's funny.

With David B. and ballet girl, Heather.

We all come from Irish dance schools! Here's proof:

Lunch break with Kiril at Chipotle. Mmm...tacos!
