We already know he is spectacular. ;) The video quality of that Facebook link is pretty grainy. Here is the same one on Youtube, which is a tad better.

It's been a while since we've seen one of Michael's signature videos. Here's a new one:

Michael has posted this "SYTYCD Showreel" on Youtube, showing a montage of clips from his performances. This is a amazing 2 1/2 minutes!

Just as one Billy leaves the Newsies tour another one takes his place. Michael announced on Instagram and Facebook that he is joining the tour. Congrats Michael!

Michael has posted this interesting photo on instagram. The Newsies tour is currently playing in Durham, where the BETM tour began nearly six years ago. I'll bet he was thrilled to see the BETM display on the wall still there after all this time.
Crazy to think that I performed as Billy Elliot in Durham at the @dpacnc. I never thought I would be performing on the exact same stage again 6 years later in @newsies. Feeling super grateful for all the incredible opportunities I have had in my life so far

I can't believe it has been one complete year since i left Australia on a one way ticket to America. 2016 has been such an unexpected and overwhelming year. I'm grateful to have been able to travel across North America for majority of it on tour with 'Newsies', something ill never forget. Now to look forward to the movie release in February. on top of it all, even though its been tough being away from home the support has been constant from the people i love and that is something i always wish to have. Wanting to perform as a profession is not easy however being surrounded by people who see it in you more than you see it in yourself will keep you on your feet no matter how hard it gets. I'm mostly grateful to the people who have believed in me. Thank you. Bring on 2017
