Myles would like to thank his teachers, friends and family who have supported him on his journey to Billy Elliot. He is thrilled to take the stage in this magnificent production and will proudly tell anyone he meets that he was "Born to Boogie!"

Jack Broderick (Michael) is thrilled to join the cast of Billy Elliot on Broadway! Recent credits include Billy Elliot in Toronto and Chicago, Peter Pan at The Paper Mill Playhouse, and The Radio City Christmas Spectacular National Tour; TV - "30 Rock;" Commercial - "SunnyD." Jack is happiest when he is on stage singing, dancing or acting! Thanks to Nora Brennan, Marianna Karpatova, Parkside Talent and Barry Kolker.
