A fun note is the Broadway Show League: "A 50+ year tradition, the league brings out thousands of actors and crew members, who play against each other every Thursday afternoon." Billy was part of "The Coast of Utopia" team on last Thursday and they defeated "Spring Awakening", so you have to see it to believe it.
