I think Tommy is a brilliant Billy. I recently seen a "sounds-like-the-opposite-of-glovearm" from Chicago and I think he's my favourite Billy I've not seen in the flesh. The Michael from the same show was great too.

Tommy created this dance video for a school project. It takes "Angry Dance" to a whole new level!

Tommy, along with several others from Ohio State, will be performing in a dance show titled "Feathered Landing: A Convergence of Dances" at the Rochester Fringe Festival this weekend. Performances are Saturday at 2:30 and Sunday at 8:00 PM. I will be at Sunday evening's performance. Looking forward to seeing a former Billy perform in my home town!

Here is a description of the event. Although it doesn't mention Tommy specifically, his mom has given me permission to post that he is part of it.
