Michael Dameski--Billy: Oz, Broadway, & US Tour

[Cindy]

Michael's arrival finally confirmed in BWWorld but date still to be defined....

The article states he's the 8th Broadway Billy but he's really the 9th. Kiril, David, Trent, Tommy, Tanner, Alex, Dayton and Liam all precede him.

I found another gem. Michael Dameski's final show finale

Us and UK fans that did not get to Melbourne can see how big the stage of Her Majestys is compared to the Imperial and in particular Victoria Palace.

After comments including from me that the US finale seems different, some NY regulars might care to compare the two versions and give an opinion.

I suppose Billy's remark to dad as they arrive for his audition, "it's massive" would apply to the Her Majestys.

Here's a video of Michael and other students of his Australian performing arts school, Brent Street, performing a number called "I Want to Make Magic":

Thanks Billy Whiz. These boys are awesome dancers! I sure hope I will have a chance to see Michael perform during his short time in NYC. He looks like an excellent Billy.

Really nice! Good group choreography. Where do they find so many boys who want to dance?

Apologize if any of you have already seen this before, but found this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRIG0mTXOYA) on Youtube of Kimberly from the "Pussycat Dolls" teaching a dance class in Australia.

Keep a look out to the very left of the screen at around 1:55 for a little familiar figure...and you're in for a treat at 3:13!

V. fierce!
