Gaudette Theatre provides an intimate setting for the Village Theatre production of Billy Elliot The Musical (BETM), which opened with a preview on May 11, 2016 and ran through Sunday, July 3, 2016. The cast/crew then moved to Village Theatre’s other facility, the Everett Performing Arts Center in Everett, Washington — from July 8-31, 2016. During that time frame, BETM was presented 88 times, making it one of the longest running of 2016’s North American regional productions of the show.
