Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. While many of the cast lists and replacement cast members on this page appear to have sources, a great many others do not, which makes their verifiability and notability suspect. Prior consensus has generally favored limiting cast lists for shows to the original and most important productions. The main article for
Billy Elliot the Musical already has this, including a section for notable replacement cast members. It is unclear how it is beneficial to go beyond this.

Delete. A listing of all cast replacements fails
WP:LISTN. Nobody does it. I shudder to think what a list for The Mousetrap would look like.

Delete. Indiscriminate list of mostly non-notable people. The notable ones are mentioned in the main article about the musical. --

Neutral[1] A lot of such list of cast members exist. But Ssilvers makes a good point, most are not notable, and those that are can be mentioned in the main article.

Delete. It is getting difficult to manage. And yes, a lot of non-notable people.

Delete At the height of this musicals popularity this article was used as a way of keeping all of this information out of the main article. I agree it should be deleted.
