Can't believe they didn't include Alex Wong.
I met Thayne when I went to new York..nicest guy ever!!!!
I wish they had interviewed Alex Wong as well.
In addition to the three dancers interviewed here, SYTYCD favorite Alex Wong is also in the cast.
Holy cow, I LOVE all of those dancers! They were my favorites!
There was another BTS video and showed that Alex Wong is in Newsies too!
seriously? i hadn't heard that! i LOVE him!!!!!
My birthday was March 30... :( I hope with all my heart that I can see it before they stop.
Wait what about Alex Wong????
it means that there isn't a closing date as of yet, it's going to run for as long as people want it and it makes money.
at the month the show is running open ended, and tickets are being sold through november CURRENTLY, after november more tickets should go on sale.
What does open ended mean, if you dont mind me asking?
