Note: Noe Keller will be appearing as Billy in Billy Elliot the Musical (BETM) in Zürich, Switzerland, presented by MAAG Halle, from February 27, 2025 to June 15, 2025.
Debut: February 27, 2025 (Zürich)
Total Performances as Billy to Date: 1 (As of 28-Feb-2025)
Fourteen year old Noe Keller, joined the Billy rotation on February 27, 2025 after having originated the role of Tall Boy/Posh Boy in the Zurich BETM production. Noe is a resident of Zurich and, at the time of his debut as Billy, was a secondary school student there. Noe’s plans, however, are to switch to an art and sports school to further develop his creative talents.
In addition to his strong passion for acting, Noe has also been fully devoted to singing and dancing for some time. When the original auditions for this BETM production took 
place in January of 2024, Noe’s acting teacher at that time, Isabella Schmid, registered him for the Billy Elliot casting auditions. Initially unsure, Noe and the production team quickly discovered his great talent and he was cast as one of three Tall Boys/Posh Boys and as the Billy understudy.
Shortly afterward, Noe began intensive ballet training at Atelier Rainbow in Rüschlikon and private lessons with Arman Grigoryan. While regularly appearing as Tall Boy/Posh Boy in the Zurich production, Noe has worked hard to prepare to go on stage as the Billy understudy if one of the three original Billys should be unable to perform on short notice. But, by late February, 2025, and with the production extended until June, Noe had worked his way into being added to the Billy rotation full-time.
When he debuted as Billy on February 27, 2025 he became the 372nd young performer in the world to bring the title character to life in a professional, regional or community theatre production of the musical.
For the future, Noe now has dreams of a career as a musical performer, stage dancer and actor.
