I found this video made by the New York Times in June, of a very handsome young man whose name I have not heard[seen] mentioned.

Sometime in the future but I am scared of posting this in the wrong place.

Joseph is a future NY Billy, and he has his own thread, so I will incorporate your post into it for you.

Joseph is the "demonstrator" on Finis Jhung's latest ballet DVD called The Boy Ballet Dancer.

About Joseph, Finis writes in a FaceBook post about the new DVD release: "Joseph is not performing Billy yet - he's now in rehearsal along with the boys who will play Billy in the 2nd National Tour and he is slated to appear on Broadway in early November."

"Based on his experience as the Trainer at Billy Camp and ballet teacher for the boys who played Billy Elliot on Broadway and on tour, Finis Jhung knows that today's boy ballet dancer needs updated training—he must go beyond positions and poses and learn the mechanics of movement. In this new video, 11-year-old Joseph Harrington—newly-cast as Billy Elliot—warms up standing alone in center floor so he can check his placement and form in the mirror. He then demonstrates the essential exercises which emphasize the spring action of the bent knee in plié for powerful jumps, turns and combinations. Finis explains the exercise, Joseph demonstrates, Finis analyzes and Joseph repeats. At the end, Joseph performs jumps and turns that will make you stand and cheer as audiences do at Billy Elliot: The Musical."

I believe that is a trailer for Finis Jhung's new dvd, "The Boy Ballet Dancer," which went on sale recently.

He's being billed as Broadway's 10th Billy (again poor Tanner isn't counted as an "official" Billy on Broadway )

Even if you don't count Tanner, Joseph is still not the 10th. Peter was 10th and Joseph will be the 11th. In any case, welcome Joseph! May you have a long and prosperous run.

You're right, Chris. Wonder who else isn't getting counted these days besides Tanner?
