Last week the five actors who play Billy on the US Tour were invited to the Pixar Animation Studios in San Francisco, where the show opens tonight at the Orpheum Theatre. The boys performed for the Pixar staff and they were given an exclusive tour around the main building. 15-year-old Daniel Russell who has also played the role of Billy in Melbourne said "I am extremely interested in animation, and the opportunity to perform at and have a tour of Pixar Studios was priceless. I loved seeing the animators - it really is like they never grew up!"

Good luck to all the Billy cast and crew for your run in San Francisco!
