The Billy Elliot Broadway and National Tour Facebook page has three photos this morning of Ethan -- two practicing Ballet and one with Lex and Giuseppe:

And from Tampa Bay Online, a nice article that features some quotes from Ethan and from his mentor at the Patel Conservatory in Tampa, Peter Stark:

Another article about Ethan -- this one by John Flemming who is the theater critic of the St. Petersburg Times.

According to the article, Ethan is 5'4", which, if correct, seems a little tall to just be starting out as a Billy.

That is most likely a mistake. If he only weighs 90 lbs. I would say he is probably 4'5" instead of 5'4", wouldn't you?

Yeah. You have to think it's a mistake. But, on the other hand, in this picture from the Billy Elliot Broadway and National Tour Facebook page, he looks as tall or taller than Giuseppe and quite a bit taller than Lex (and I know he's wearing street shoes and they are wearing dancing slippers, but still).
