Lex Ishimoto - Billy, US Tour

[Billy Whiz]

An interesting article in The Oregonian about the 4 boys who play Billy. I have posted this link in all 4 boys' threads.

I was fortunate to see Lex in Durham, and I agree. He is the all around complete Billy package. And like you I thought his Electricity was spectacular.

He put on a stunning performance when I saw him last Sunday. Anyone who has the privilege of seeing him perform will be getting an amazing show indeed. A lot has been said about his' Electricity, and for good reason.

Here's a video interview with Lex Ishimoto and Kurt Froman (resident choreographer) done by Arizona Foothills Magazine:

Saw Lex today in SF and the crowd just looooved him. Much louder reception than when I saw Kylend 2 weeks ago. Both were great though. Didn't mean to compare, but maybe the crowd today was just 10x more enthusiastic.

Audiences can definitely differ in their responsiveness from day to day. That gets mentioned all the time on here.

I have seen Lex as Billy twice, and I think he is a fabulous Billy. One thing that I noted after seeing the first time was the speed of his spins, which seem to be double time.

Kurt Froman's brother, Kyle, posted great pictures of "Flying" and "Electric" Lex.

Congrats to Lex for his opening on the new Tour today! (should he be "Current Cast" now?).

[ERinVA]

Yes, will move him now. Welcome back Lex!
