A nice article focusing on Ryan Steele and Ephraim Sykes and their work in Newsies:

Stamina and Stardom: Newsies Dancers Work as One to Seize the Day

I enjoyed Newsies & Matilda both !!

My September issue of OUT Magazine arrived today. It has a nice feature story on Ryan, formerly of Billy Elliot and Newsies, and currently in Matilda. His latest project is the movie Five Dances, which opens in late September.

The article itself is not currently available online, but I did find this tumblr post with photos of the pages from the magazine. You might be able to squint to read it, or at least you can see the pics.

Ryan's movie, Five Dances, has been selected as the Centerpiece film at next month's ImageOut Film Festival here in Rochester. I am a long time volunteer for this festival.

Here is the trailer. It looks really good! I am excited that I will get to see it four weeks from today.
