A terrific story on David Alvarez, who attends ABT's ballet school as well as starring as one of the Billy's:

Great story in the NY Times about what the three Billy Elliots are doing now.  David Alvarez is going to be Bernardo in the upcoming Spielberg film of West Side Story.

Lovely to read about these young men. I loved the show, saw it five times on Broadway, seeing each Billy at least once. I often wondered about their lives after Billy. Thanks for posting.

This article is about Tony Kushner, but there is photo  of David Alvarez and other dancers in a scene from the new film West Side Story.  Alvarez is playing Bernardo.
