Nice! I'm so happy to see Tommy is part of the promotions for the show in that area! He's done a lot of public performances and more coming up in that area, so check in with his mom for more details or look around online.

I loved this:

He first saw Billy Elliot in the summer of 2011, when his parents took him to New York. When they assured him that he could play Billy, he decided to try out for the part.

To think of a future Billy there in the audience with any of us, seeing the show for the first time and wanting to Be Billy.

Last August I found myself sitting next to a mother with two incredibly well dressed, alert and well behaved boys. They were in rapture watching the show. During the interval I spoke with the mom - a single mom from Dorchester, trying to bring up her sons (age 9 and 8, I would guess) to be good kids and not like those around them. And, they went to a dance school (street and tap). We got to chatting and I suggested she (or her sons' dance instructor) get in touch with Nora Brennan. You never know when a chance discussion can open up opportunities.
