Kennedy Ballard

Post by porschesrule »

Kennedy Ballard, of Clear Lake, Texas, will join the cast of the 1st Tour in Chicago at the end of October in the role of Tall Boy/Posh Boy.

I was initially confused when I saw in the announcement that Kennedy is a student at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (RAFA), expecting it to be in England or Canada with that name. But further research led me to the school's website:

With that kind of background, it would seem there are bigger roles in Kennedy's future with the show -- much like other Tall Boy before him.

Yeah. There's almost as much to read between the lines as there is in the story itself :lol:
