Thanks for the link Todd.

It was weird watching people walking past outside and not having a clue what was going on behind the glass.

These kids are so much fun. It looks like a lot of the Billys past and present do Rubik's cubes. They should get together for a contest. :D

I think that solving a Rubiks cube must be a fourth skill in addition to dancing, singing, and acting, that the Billys must demonstrate in auditions. ;)

This clip demonstrates the typical Dillon who I saw many times in Chicago as Michael, and with whom I engaged in conversations, as well. Total magnetism, esprit off the charts, simply captivating, can dominate "Expressing Yourself" with his perfect timing, very quick reactions which also demonstrates his athletic ability...a complete package for such a miniature "giant." As an actor in a perfect role for him, I just find him to be my favorite of all time. I wish everyone could see him do his thing. I asked him one time if he could see himself as a Billy, and he just indicated he is perfectly happy and suited for the role of Michael. He has put his heart and sole in the role and in my opinion is perfect at it. Times and plans certainly may change as he gets down the road, but I have hopes for his ultimate success whatever he chooses to do. Just some personal thoughts here. Regards, Colin

I agree totally with Colin.....Dillon Stevens is brilliant on stage. If anyone has not seen this young man buy a plane ticket TODAY.

With his performance last night, JP is now at 98.5 performances as Billy (Chicago/Tour combined). I just posted on both the tour and Giuseppe's thread that tonight did mark #100 for him.
