What a great video. The Alvarez's are certainly a lovely family and David is a really nice kid - as well as being a superb Billy.
Just slightly off topic but I noticed the editor of the show was Michael Dorn. Is that the same Michael Dorn that played Worf in Star Trek TNG?

Re: David Alvarez
Excellent video. Really makes you root for David and his family when you see what nice folks they are and how hard they've worked to get where they are. I also couldn't help but notice the parallel between his dad giving up his job in San Diego and making such a big sacrifice for his son's future in dancing and the way Jackie Elliot does the same thing for Billy.

Re: David Alvarez
I'll second that. Well done
I've got my ticket for the Tony's so I'm sure you are going to make my night by picking up the award along with the other 2 originals Billys.

Re: David Alvarez
Another very nice interview, in the Standard.
Did everyone see this article, from earlier this year, in the Latin American Herald Tribune? Apparently, not only did David have to learn how to tap, do acrobatics, sing, act and master the lines in the accent; he also had to learn English, period! The family spoke/speaks Spanish at home, and French in public in Montreal. He "did not speak English fluently," and took English lessons to prepare for his audition! These kids are amazing!
