I agree, Ellen. The guy did his homework and I thought he very intelligently backed his opinions.

Does anyone else think Tommy Batchelor (seen here on opening night) just might be a Corey Snide or a Colin Bates in the making? I'm referring to his hat. :)

I love that hat and noticed in one of the videos of the boys walking into the theater. Tommy has a way of making fashion statements, ie: sun glasses, bright colored sneakers, and now the red plaid hat. :P

That hat style seems more in the domain of Frank Dolce to me. 8-)

Tommy's wardrobe stylin' appears to go back at least to his Tony Awards attire from last June (check out the black sneakers with the sports coat over one shoulder) http://www.billyelliottheforum.me.uk/ga ... =42&pos=25
