Re: Jamie Mann - Billy: Maltz Jupiter
This is from a blog written by Jamie's Mom, Jill Johnson Mann, describing a Broadway Audition class run by Thommie Retter:

I like this quote:

I like this quote:
Yes, indeed, Lady Luck can be fickle - or simply Good Luck!The casting director did tell me J (whom she’d seen at Alvin Ailey last November) was on the top of the list to play Billy Elliot in the Broadway tour, which, sadly, is closing before he’ll get his chance. Bad luck. Coaching may be key these days, but no one can deny that Lady Luck still plays a starring role.

Re: Jamie Mann - Billy: Maltz Jupiter
Jamie is one of a few boys featured in this story from December 2014 about boys and ballet, in particular NYC Ballet's annual production of "The Nutcracker".

Re: Jamie Mann - Billy: Maltz Jupiter
I had a good idea when I came across a (briefly) posted Youtube video entitled 'Jamie Mann - Billy Elliot Audition Tape' around Feb. 2014 .... it came down within a matter of hours, though.CJ-Rochester wrote:Jamie is one of a few boys featured in this story from December 2014 about boys and ballet, in particular NYC Ballet's annual production of "The Nutcracker".

Re: Jamie Mann - Billy: Maltz Jupiter
Jamie's mother, Jill Johnson Mann (who comes from my home town of Rochester), works as a modeling scout and writes a blog on http://www.modelingmentor.com. In September she wrote about Thommie Retter's tap classes, which Jamie has attended.

Here is also a great photo of Jamie meeting a well known former Billy, Trent Kowalik:
