OMG the little hat flourish in the second to last vid. Presh!! Thanks for compiling!!!

Also, I can see why they didn't jump much. Cumbersome costumes!

Nothing against Yags, but Johnny was made to play the Mad Hatter! That coat and those pants must have been a bear to jump and spin around in, but the costume looked amazing!

Thank you for posting these wonderful videos!

They're both good and quite different styles. Yags is high energy/jittery and almost hyper. He's very interactive. Great footwork and he even did some lifts.

Johnny's of course elegant, but his comes off more expressive and whimsical, mysterious and even a little sly. Yags did a great job but I do prefer Johnny's. It felt like there was more characterization in his role. He did great pantomiming.

whoa you articulated my thoughts exactly =D

Yeah. Thanks for saying what I want to say ♥. Yags had his moments -and they were great moments, some more impressive than what Johnny did, but there is a strong sense of continuity in Johnny's performance, like he is a character.

Great to see these side by side! Thanks! Yags and Johnny really have their own take on the Hatter.

I love the colors of the costume, but it must be really heavy and cumbersome to skate in. Also, lol those baggy pants--so not Johnny's style :)

The random Johnny dancing in the background of the 6th video is adorbs!
