The honor has come with one downside, however. Bologna shares the role of Michael with fellow performer Frank Dolce, so news that he alone had been nominated for a Tony while the show's three Billys shared the nomination in their category was a shock, and it's difficult for the Michaels to understand. it's angering, he says, acknowledging he'd be upset, if the tables were turned, you know? But [Frank]'s doing good, and we're fine.

What a classy kid. Also, what a great personality. This says it all:
"I got fit for a tux and am going to see if I can pick out a flashy vest and tie. I even met Liza Minnelli at the Tony brunch?she?s adorable, so full of personality and open to conversation.?
Any 14 year old who describes Liza as adorable gets an A+ from me.

bjh, I was just about to post the same thing.
He's seems to have had a tough life but nice none the less (even though it's really just beginning), I'm happy for him!

I'm sure it was more than "angering" for Frank and for David, but he sure does choose his words wisely! What a smart, talented, and seemingly nice kid. He seems to know how to live life and how to soak it all up.

Posted: 5/29/09 at 12:21amWhat a great comment from David. Congratulations to him and to Frank for what they do. Sharing a role is tough enough, but to deal with this makes it unbelievably tough. It's refreshing to see kids acting the way adults should, when adults so often act like kids.

Amen to that, stagedad. There is enough evidence on this board to support your last statement. We could all learn something from kids like David.
