I would like to say, performances such as this were fortuitous for Dillon ever since I first saw him on the scene in Chicago, and I saw him many times on the Oriental Stage. He was as good a Michael as you'd ever see...terrific tapper, superb little actor; I could tell he was a physical dynamo even as young and tiny as he was, as he had that fast twitched muscular movement so common to quality athletics.

He's sure developed size wise since those days, of course, and as one who so admired the wonderful interpretation he brought to the role of Michael, I'm delighted to experience his growth and progress such as it is.

Bravo, Dillon...give us some more.

(Can't help but notice how strong Dillon got, he lifts her like nothing :o )

Thanks for the link. It's always fun to watch Dillon perform. :D

Is it just me, or is the sound for that video extremely muffled?

I turned up my volume a little bit, but I don't think this video was extremely muffled.

I guess it's me then. I ran the volume slide up all the way and turned up the volume on my speakers as well, and it still sounds like it's coming from underwater speakers.
