Thommie's facebook page used to require that you be a friend or mutual friend to see it, but I have checked again, and he has now made the page completely public.

Several of the ballet girls got together with Thommie Retter to record "Dancing Rainbow", one of the numbers performed at the Farewell Celebration. Check out what they did for a warm-up number (posted on Thommie's public Facebook page). It sure gave me a smile. :D

11 year old Ava DeMary was a ballet girl when BETM-NY closed. She has recently been performing in "Evita" at the Marquis theatre. Here is a recent video of Ava singing "I'm Going Down". I was quite impressed with the way she can belt it out. :D
