Re: Billy Camp - Finis Jhung
And this posted on Finis' public Facebook page --
All I can say is wow - do you recognize any of the babies gathered around Finis in this picture??

The only thing I can't figure though -- Jacob Clemente is in this picture and he's definitely not part of the Chicago cast. I think the caption is wrong in that regard. But this took place in NYC, so Jacob was probably in training for Broadway at the time.

That's exactly what I said earlier in this thread on Apr 09 and 20th.

Re: Billy Camp - Finis Jhung
Well, it is clear from this latest picture that it is, indeed, Jacob in the class. The question regarding why he was training with the Chicago Billys isn't as clear, but he must have been training for Broadway -- there's no other explanation that I can think of.CJ-Rochester wrote:porschesrule wrote:

Re: Billy Camp - Finis Jhung
I think that Billys for both Broadway and Chicago trained together. As a matter of fact, I don't think that the decision about which production they would go to was decided before they started training. The decision was probably made as needs became apparent.

I disagree. I think once the kids were cast they knew which production each would go to. Looking back through old treads, the first three Chicago Billys were announced on September 10, 2009. That was before Jacob had started performing on Broadway as Tall Boy, although he was likely in training for that role. Jacob left the show in November to begin his Billy training. JP came along in early December as the fourth Chicago Billy. Remember this?

Re: Billy Camp - Finis Jhung
This is not about Billy Camp, but about Finis's experience touring cross-country with the Joffrey and/or Harkness Ballet. All I can say is, if the current BETM tour seems grueling, it has NOTHING on this experience. Wow!
