The NY Times today had an interesting story on two boys who play the prince in the NYC Ballet's "Nutcracker". Both are 11.
Of course both wear sweatpants to ballet class, and the interviews are quite serious.
But the costume - a pink suit with blouse and breeches - seemingly requires tights, and there is no denying that one of the boys has a very feminine haircut. The photos show them both dancing with some very talented young women who are - based on their posture and facial expressions - definitely in charge.
It would be interesting if one of them followed Chase Johnsey's example and began seeking female roles as a ballerina.
