Re: Jeff Kready: Tony, US Tour
The Tour may be on hiatus and its cast going forward uncertain, but Jeff did a dance workshop in his native Topeka, Kansas over the weekend:

Re: Jeff Kready: Tony, US Tour
'Chavs' are not necessarily hoodlums, but are characterized as unemployed undereducated council house youth in trackies and hoodies, who generally lurk around causing petty crime, minor problems and annoyance, and some times worse. Girl chavs would be typified by Little Britain's Vicky Pollard. Billy and Michael would be on track to become chavs had neither found a better way to express themselves than being anti-social - their environment was classic chavland. The British government created a special category of penalty to tame the worst chavs - called an ASBO - Anti-social Behaviour Order. This prevented chavs from entering certain shops, premises and places where they have caused offense. For a period, posters with photos of ASBO recipients were placed where chavs were excluded - a form of 'name and shame' punishment. The adult miners were not chavs, as chavs are typified by 9-21 year old 'yoof'. They were too old, generally.ERinVA wrote:I didn't realize the miners would have been classified as "chavs," which as I understand it, means "council housed and violent," or roughly the same thing as "hoodlums."

Re: Jeff Kready: Tony, US Tour
Yes, I know about ASBO's. One could probably say that many of the youth involved with the recent London riots were "chavs."
But that's a digression from discussion about Jeff, so perhaps we should get back to him.

Re: Jeff Kready: Tony, US Tour
Jeff is multi-talented. I am glad to see he is getting the jobs in a hard economy. He deserves the success.
Re: Jeff Kready: Tony, US Tour
Jeff is amazingly talented. HIs portrayal of Tony was so realistic--it didn't seem like he was acting.
