That is great news; I am a huge fan of Max; but Christopher Howard has done a fantastic job in a role that is more important than it may first appear. The Tour is blessed to have both gentlemen.

The link doesn't work for me here at my job. Is Christopher leaving now or staying with the cast too? He was great too! And welcome back, Max! Glad to have you back!

He is still on the cast list as a member of the ensemble.

Would it be unreasonable to suggest that two Older Billys, expert in the technicalities and inherent risks within Dream Ballet, would be essential on the cast list? I believe Chris was the understudy when Max played Older Billy.

And from the way it's listed on the cast page of the website, I believe when Max has his first show back it will revert to that, with Chris becoming the u/s again. As far as technical ballet, Max is the far more experienced dancer, having been a dancer in several ballet companies while Chris's training has been broader.

There always needs to be an alternate or u/s Older Billy, so I agree with porschesrule about Chris Howard's status.

Thanks for that assessment; who was the understudy for Chris during Max's leave of absence?

Adam Pelty, who is a Swing and Resident Choreographer. I believe Richard Gatta has also filled in on occasion.
