The casting team – which consisted of Children's Casting Director Jessica Ronane, Associate Choreographer Lynne Page, her dancing assistant Matt Cross, Associate Director Julian Webber, Children’s Musical Director Ron Crocker and Jessica’s assistant Clemency Carlisle - had never before been to the South West of England in their three years of casting the production. To English readers: This essay is loosely based on the article "Young talents and adult spectators: an essay about the nature o theatrical emotions", published in Russian in this blog on 12th December 2007. The essay in English has been written after requests from Billy Elliot the Musical - The Complete Forum members and significantly differs from the Russian original. Many lines from Billy Elliot The Musical Lyrics have been explicitly or implicitly used. To Russian readers/Русскоязычному читателю: Публикуемый текст нетипичен для моего журнала - хотя бы потому, что написан на английском языке. Поэтому он не появится во френд-ленте. Это эссе написано на основе моего текста месячной давности "Юные таланты и взрослые поклонники, или о природе театральных эмоций", но ориентировано на специфическую целевую аудиторию.
