Post by ERinVA »

If this video is anything to go by, the Chicago production is going to have some fantastic ballet Billys. :D

Wow - really impressive. The boys are looking ready for previews. Not much doubt this is going to be a "Ballet Billy" production, is there?

Here's an interesting little piece on the boys learning to do the "grande pirouette" for the end of "Electricity." http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magaz ... um=twitter
