Dayton Tavares (Billy, Australia/NYC) Debut Performance (OZ): May 24, 2008 Final Performance (OZ): June 13, 2009 Debut Performance (Bway): December 19, 2009 Dayton will be the first Australian Billy to make the transfer to Broadway. BIO (as reported on Broadway.com): DAYTON TAVARES (Billy). Hi, my name is Dayton Tavares and I am 13 years old. I had the honor of playing the role in the Sydney and Melbourne productions of Billy Elliot and I am so excited to now be making my Broadway debut as Billy! I used to watch both of my sisters dance and I thought it looked like fun, so in 2005 I decided to take a hip- hop class and that's how I discovered that my true passion was to dance and perform. I also love to sing, play soccer and am a black belt in taekwondo. Since I started dancing, I've won lots of awards, including Australian Dancer of the Year in 2007, which meant that I got to represent Australia at the World Dance Championships in Las Vegas. I won prizes in the competition including my favorite - Mr. Junior LasVegas! I have performed at the Urban Music Awards, Industry Awards and the Sydney Opera House. I also toured Malaysia with Studio 11 until I got the amazing opportunity to be Billy. This is a dream come true for me and I want to thank everyone at Billy Elliot in Australia and New York and also my Mum, Dad and sisters Aeysha and Tenille. See you on Broadway!
