    His versatility. Wow. Here, without the spectacle of everything happening on stage, you can really appreciate his precision and the purity of his dance. That was fantastic.

    And I came here because I'm obsessed with him in West Side Story.
    Which led me to remember he was here in SF for Hello Dolly with Betty Buckley where I think he first caught my eye playing Barnaby.

    @christinem4016 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I found Jess through Newsies. His movement and energy just stood out to me and I’m not shocked to see him thriving. It’s so fun to watch him dance to King of New York again. I’ve watched the musical so many times that i nearly have the choreography memorized in my mind lol. His posture and incredible jumps. Unreal.

    I saw Jess as one of the Lost Boys in Peter Pan Live on NBC back in 2014 and just two months ago as Barnaby Tucker in the Hello Dolly national tour at the Hollywood Pantages. Jess is a terrific dancer with some comic timing to boot!

    • @Amy-pb5yg
      @Amy-pb5yg 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I can't explain the shaking edits but re the glow perhaps the giant windows over-exposed the image and it was the best way they could mask it.

    • @sarahquartuccio6049
      @sarahquartuccio6049 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It looked more like it was filmed with a camera made for 3D. Remember the red and blue glasses one would wear when seeing a legit 3D movie (aka back in the 90s)?

    • @Anticrystal88
      @Anticrystal88 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it's that kitschy thing they do where they briefly misalign a red image and a blue image over the main one. You'll see that around the edges. It's very trendy these days, but unnecessary here, in my opinion.

    I love seeing this. I love the physicality of it all. And, I can only imagine how all that "energy" is intensified when you have more people on stage. Young men NEED to be physical... to DO something (instead of computer games, kvetching on Twitter).
    I hope that dancing, that is planned, learned steps set to music, will come back again. I was a child of the 1980s where there simply were no dance steps to learn (no cha-cha, no mashed potato).
    Lastly, I enjoy hearing about the friendships, the camaraderie, that this young man experiences from his work. It's refreshing to see such a healthy, optimistic attitude.
