Three 'Billy Elliot' boys pass our two Tonys quizzes

May 8, 2009 |  2:41 pm

I thought I could outsmart those three shrewd young chaps who portray the title role of "Billy Elliot" on Broadway. When we chatted at the Tony nominees' reception Wednesday, I challenged them with two tough Tonys tests and – surprise – they aced them both!

Together Kiril Kulish, Trent Kowalik and David Alvarez (from left in the video below) rotate in the role of Billy at different stagings of the production throughout the week, but they share one nomination: best lead actor in a musical. Read more about that here. Most award gurus like me believe that they'll win.
