Re: Beck Center for Cultural Arts, Lakewood, Oh
This is a fascinating rehearsal video on choreographer Martín Céspedes' public Facebook showing him working on Dream Ballet with Micheal Hinton (older Billy) and Seth Judice (Billy). The choreography is not what we are used to, but it still looks like it will be quite beautiful when finished!

Just four names so far:
Seth Judice of Houston, Texas as Billy,
Maurice Kimball of Vancouver, British Columbia as Michael.
It doesn't give the roles for Katherine DeBoer and Allen O'Reilly, but I think it's safe to assume they will be Mrs. Wilkinson and Dad.

Here's a rehearsal video of Maurice and Seth working on "Expressing Yourself". Note the brief cover photo at the start comes from last year's Drury Lane production with Nic Dantes and Michael Harp.

Choreographer Martín Céspedes has posted this set of photos from a run through earlier this week. It looks like it will be another outstanding regional production of BETM.

Here is a two minute teaser video, showing highlights of most of the major numbers. It certainly looks like a quality production, despite that very harsh review.
