Each day, the Bbox team trolls YouTube for the hot clip—sometimes it's a brand-new moment and sometimes it's a throwback to an oldie but goodie. No matter what praise hands are shot up, pearls are clutched and the repeat button is hit.
"Chasing Cars" (Ryan Steele and Mallauri Esquibel)
Ulterior Motives: Happy Birthday Ryan Steele! Everyone's favorite quick-spinning Newsie, Specs, is celebrating a birthday on August 3rd! The extraordinary dancer has also been seen on Broadway in Carousel, Matilda, Billy Elliot: The Musical and starring as Jerry Mulligan in the national tour of An American in Paris. He has such grace to his dancing and we were completely entranced by this incredible dance film to Snow Patrol's hit "Chasing Cars." Here he dances with Mallauri Esquibel, of Broadway's Wonderland and national tour of Come Fly Away, to the cover sung beautifully by Rock of Ages' Dan Domenech and our Broadway Bucket List alum Morgan James of Broadway's Motown, Godspell and more. The film was choreographed by Broadway mainstay Grady McLeod Bowman.
Ultimate 🙌 🙌 moment: At 3:09 - 3:11, Ryan flying through the air. It's an amazing dance move from an amazing dancer.
