Thommie Retter and his collaborators present their annual music and dance showcase This Way To Broadway Live: Jingle Jam! this Sunday, December 4th. I attended last year and can attest the young talent Thommie draws to these shows is phenomenal.
This year's lineup includes several former cast members of BETM productions, both recent and long ago: Jamie Mann, Trent Kowalik, Shane Boucher, Victoria Csatay, Jack Richman, and Brionna Trilling. If you are in the NYC area this Sunday, you won't want to miss it.

Re: This Way To Broadway Live: Jingle Jam!
The 2016 Jingle Jam continued the trend of giving talented kids opportunity to gain valuable experience performing. Jamie and Ashlee were both excellent hosts. As comfortable as Jamie is on a stage, this probably helps him even more with learning how to interact with an audience.
Trent's tap performance was unbelievably amazing. Braden King was another participant, although we did not see Brionna.
One negative on the evening was occasional audio issues. Only a few of the performers had training on proper microphone technique. As such, the amplification that was suitable for soft and medium passages became way too loud when a soloist was belting at the top of his or her lungs. Add in some distortion at that volume, it became literally painful to listen to and that is a crying shame when an otherwise good and impressive performance is degraded by factors beyond the singer's control.
BroadwayWorld has some pictures of the rehearsal:

An interesting note in the Jingle Jam Playbill reads as follows:

Mark your calendars!Thommie Retter and Sean Patrick have a very fun and exciting thing planned for the new year!
They can't say what it is just yet but what they can say is that they will be holding auditions for an unnamed teen musical in late Januaray [sic]. They plan on rehearsing weekends through February with performances the week of March 9-12.
