Several cast members representing lots of BETM experience led the seven show production of BETM at the Music Theatre Wichita, July 8-12, 2015.
The cast was led by veteran Billy Mitchell Tobin, who originally debuted as Billy as part of the North American Tour production in December of 2012. Mitchell went on to star as Billy in London and most recently played the role in another US regional production of the show in California.
There’s lots of experience as far as the adult cast goes as well.
Janet Dickinson first played Mrs. Wilkinson in the North American Tour cast of the show and later reprised the role in the US regional productions at the North Carolina Theatre and at Music Theatre Wichita.
Craig Bennett, who previously portrayed Big Davey and Dad (Jackie Elliot) in the North American Tour cast of the show, and then reprised the role of Dad at Music Theatre Wichita.
Kilty Reidy was in the final cast as Mr. Braithwaite for the North American Tour of BETM when it ended its run in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2013 and played it again in the Music Theatre Wichita production.
