Very much impressed with Michael Balderrama's artistry in dance.

Seems to have a great foundation of dance behind those feet, ballet, modern, jazz...

His first act close pas de deux and second act solo I found to be riveting, the highlight of Hot Feet.

How about you?

I am most impressed with a certain BUTTERFLY on Broadway.
He also wowed me in LA CAGE.
He has such grace. He is indeed one of the greatest dancers I have ever seen.

And Balderrama?

Have you seen Hot Feet?

He was really the only one I liked when I saw the show in DC in early April. Plus he has great hair and a beautiful smile!!

Nope. I bought a ticket for tomorrow, but have to work instead.
I will see it after Sunday. The rest of this week is going to be hell.
I saw the talented Andy fly tonight and of course I was stunned at his grace and style. That man is talented with a capital T!

I can't wait to see Michael Berresse dance again in the upcoming revival of A Chorus Line so I can have a better chance to compare his style and artistry with that of Balderrama.

Michael Balderrama was excellent in "Saturday Night Fever", "Urban Cowboy" and as Bernardo in "West Side Story" in San Jose. That man can dance!

I saw him as Tony in Movin' Out. Not only was he technically flawless, but he was incredibly moving. I did not expect that. Very passionate performance. I haven't yet seen him in Hot Feet, but I will next week. He is the reason I'm going. I wonder if he got to play Tony often?

Well, staring at the ceiling is the real highlight of going to Hot Feet, I found.

But Michael is very good in the show, making those most of the so-called dialogue, and really committing to his dancing, especially his big solo - which is stellar considering the lead up to the number also leads to audience chuckles.

He was very good in Movin' Out and Urban Cowboy. And a hottie too. Can't wait until his next show.

I definitely thought his performance in Hot Feet was one of the bright spots in a generally terrible show.
