Billy Elliot the Forum

Thanks for the info. I'll have to keep a look out for it just it case it does tour more cities.

Tonight is the official opening night of "Over the Tavern" in Cincinnati, the show that Spencer is currently appearing in.

Break a leg Spencer!!

I just heard from Spencer that it is official so I can now post that he will be returning for two weeks to play Tall Boy in the Billy Elliot tour in St. Louis.

Wow, this is great news ! Glad Spencer will get to perform in front of family and friends. A classy move on the part of the production team to add him to the cast during the time the show's in his home town.

Well at least in St. Louis there will be a specific tall boy (Spencer).

Looks like Spencer is in competition for the title of "Mr. Webster" at his high school (Webster Groves High School near St. Louis). Here's a clever video promoting him for this honor:

As talented as he is, he makes fun of his lack of singing ability. I always wondered why he never played or understudied Michael or Billy. Such a talented dancer.

Spencer was indeed an understudy Michael and performed the role once or twice. That was a fun video.

I think he performed as Michael work like 9-10 times.
