There's something quite poignant about the sort of last-gasp press tidbits that emerge about reality/talent show winners before their inevitable slide into obscurity; today's Confidential piece about So You Think You Can Dance Australia winner and Defamer Australia Associate Editor pin-up Jack Chambers is a perfect example of this artform.

What's be been up to? Dunno! What's he about to do? Go on a glorified holiday disguised as a prize that will help his career!

While he is committed to performing in the Australian SYTYCD tour until August, Chambers will then head to LA to perform for star American choreographer Mia Michaels before taking a bite out of the Big Apple.

"I'm going to see a Broadway show and then hopefully stay and get a feel for what it's like," Chambers told Confidential.

Oh Jack, bless your cotton socks. Do you think he realises how many other starry-eyed hopefuls are outstaying their tourist visas to "get a feel" for the Great White Way?

Jack, if you're reading Defamer Australia in the Qantas lounge before your flight, hop over the jump; I've prepared some educational videos for your benefit.

 

Firstly, Elaine Stritch singing Stephen Sondheim's Broadway Baby from Follies: In Concert; listen to the words, Jack:

And finally, I Hope I Get It, performed by the original Broadway cast of A Chorus Line at the 1976 Tony Awards.

Just watch them both with a candle burning and you'll see your whole future.
