Re: Memphis TN - Playhouse on the Square
Hey all....I'm the mom of Benjamin Cheng for Memphis, TN's production. He is super stoked and loves hearing what everyone is saying about this show. He's been busy right now...playing next week his last time as Young Peter, in The Boy from Oz AND he's rehearsing to play Peter in Peter Pan Jr. at Briarcrest...plus gearing up for National Dance Competition (Tap and Jazz groups only).
I've updated his You Tube page and will continue to once I get his DVD in the next couple of weeks with his groups dances from last month. If you have any questions, just ask away. AND...thank you for supporting Billy Elliot and my son in this production. It's going to be fabulous!! He's going to begin tap lessons next month with the NYC Broadway Resident Tap Coach and Touring Tap Coach. AND, also start taking some tumbling classes as well.
