Ryan Ross of Chester, second from right, was one of hundreds of people attending the Dec. 14 Broadway performance of “Billy Elliot.” What made the show so special for Ryan was that he was able to see his cousins Erin Whyland, left, and Casey Whyland, right, who are performers in the Elton John production. The “Billy Elliot” of that night’s performance was David Alvarez, far left.
