Triple threat, ALEX KO, gets a holiday season promotional announcement from American Express (see video posted in GEG Press archive at right) as the newest Billy to grace the Broadway stage.
It’s such an honor to play Billy. I’ve been told a lot that this is a difficult role for someone my age, but I never look at it that way. I can relate to Billy and the dancing, singing, acting and gymnastics are everything that I’ve always wanted to do on Broadway. When I was really young, I used to dance around in our family dining room like it was my studio, so my mom got me into dance and gymnastics training.
Alex Ko will also make a guest appearance on Good Morning America later this month.
I hope I get to meet Diane Sawyer, added Alex.
