Casting for the Toronto engagement of Billy Elliot The Musical was no small task; Mirvish Productions searched near and far for suitable Billies and found them in California (J.P. Viernes, 14, far left), in Iowa (Marcus Pei, 12, second from left), in Burlington, Ontario (Myles Erlick, 12, second from right) and right here in Toronto (Cesar Corrales, 14, far right): the young actors will share the role. Billy Elliot The Musical opens at the Canon Theatre January 29.
