The bright lights of Broadway are shining for a North Bay teen. 14 year old Liam Redhead recently landed the role of Billy Elliott on Broadway in New York City -- after auditioning in Toronto.  Barbara Treleaven School of Dancing Owner/Director Denise Treleaven-Cote says Liam started out in ballet and went to the National Ballet School at age 11.  He's also won major awards in competition in New York and Las Vegas when he was younger.  She says Liam is in training right now and he'll probably start performing on Broadway in November.  Meantime, Cote-Treleaven says they're just starting a new season of classes next week, which are available for ages 3 to adult in various disciplines, including ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop.
