Billy Elliot The Musical

OLLIE GARDNER
plays BillyHi, my name is Ollie and I am 12 yrs old. I live in Bath with my Mum, Dad and sister Stanya, our dog Salty, and two cats Gus and Bella.
My family are really musical, and I started dancing when I was 5, learning Ballet, Tap and Modern at Dorothy Coleborn School of Dancing. When I was 9, I became a Junior Associate of the Royal Ballet School, and later a Mid Associate.
After many months of training in London, I was thrilled when I found out I would be playing my dream role of ‘Billy’ in the West End. The training has been hard work, but all the teachers make it fun and I love being part of such a great company.
I want to thank my family for always supporting and believing in me, and all my teachers; especially Karen, Damian, Nick, Lee and David. Cheers to all my great mates at Kingswood School.
