Re: Spencer Davis Milford - Tall Boy
No, Spencer's singing in that video was intended to be humorously bad (reminded me a bit of Alfalfa from "The Little Rascals" ! ). He's actually a very good singer, as this video shows:ERinVA wrote:Surely you don't believe that is how Spencer actually sings!!ALLMIXEDUP wrote:As talented as he is, he makes fun of his lack of singing ability.

Just another example of how talented the kids in "Billy Elliot" are, when even those playing the smaller roles such as posh/tall boy are excellent singers, dancers and actors.
Re: Spencer Davis Milford - Tall Boy
I have received permission from Spencer's mother to report that he will be making his Broadway debut this fall in the play "The Winslow Boy" ! It will be presented by the Roundabout Theatre, and he will be playing the title role (a.k.a. Ronnie). The adult leads are Roger Rees and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. The show runs from September 20 - December 8 at the American Airlines Theater, which is on 42nd Street between 7th & 8th Ave. http://www.roundabouttheatre.org/Shows- ... w-Boy.aspx
