Alex Bryan

I Go To Rio Who would have thought that a guy wearing a lairy shirt, white trousers and donning a whistle and maracas while singing 'I Go To Rio' would end up having a jukebox musical written about his life; but this did happen for Australia’s very own Peter Allen.  'The Boy from Oz' staring Todd McKenney as Peter Allen, opened in Australia in 1998 to rave reviews saying Todd McKenney was ‘perfect’ for the part. While ‘The Boy from Oz’ was generating its own tale of success (there would also be a book, modified musical version in New York and an arena spectacular in Australia), a young Alexander Bryan began carving out his own success in the Latin dance scene. Within a few years Alex established Lattitude Dance (of which he is Founder and Director) and represented Australia under this name at the 2006 Puerto Rican Salsa Congress; headlining in a Puerto Rican newspaper as an “Australian Dance Sensation”.
