Press release as of 10.Apr.2010

A moment of growth and wider recognition.

TheSkyKid.com, a site focused on coming-of-age movies and young talent in music and the performing arts, has experienced significant growth since its launch in 2006. Each day, the site receives an average of 3000 visitors from 198 different countries (of which 192 are recognized by the United Nations).

In recent years, the site has received media attention from the film and music industries, which allowed its authors to provide exclusive interviews with movie directors such as Stephen Ryder, Connor Clements, Lasse Nielsen, and Frank Vitale, and singers such as Vlad Krutskikh, Antonio Jose, and Brendan Macfarlane.

In addition to the usual reviews of films and youthful musicians, which have been the staple of this site from its inception, since last Fall, the site has been documenting the phenomenal growth of the Elton John/Lee Hall production of Billy Elliot the Musical as that show has grown from a London beginning to Australia, Broadway, and Chicago and soon to several other countries. Several articles profile all the current Billys in those productions and highlight many other aspects of the show.

Another exciting new addition to the site is the regular contributions of several guest authors who provide different perspectives on various topics.

“We are excited about the increased interest in theskykid.com, and hope people take the time to read the articles on the site and post comments or questions they may have,” said the site Administrator.
