Seeking:
Billy Elliot - Male (to play Age: 10 to 13) Vocal range: C5 - E3

Dad Male (Age: 35 to 45) Vocal range: Eb4 - A2
Billy's stoic father. A widowed miner struggling with maintaining a household in lieu of a work strike, he is still deeply scarred by the death of his wife. Billy's dancing initially sends him into a rage but he learns to support his son.
Debbie Wilkinson Female (Age: 9 to 12)
The ballet teacher's daughter. A bit stand-offish and argumentative, her childhood crush on Billy leads her to constantly discourage him.
Grandma Female (Age: 60 to 75) Vocal range: F#4 - F#3

Michael Male (Age: 10 to 13) Vocal rang: B4 - A#3

Mrs. Wilkinson Female Age: 40 to 50 Vocal range: Bb5 - Gb3
