XCEL Talent Agency goes commercial…BIGTIME. 
XCEL talent is pleased to have booked, in conjunction with Clear Talent NYC, XCEL choreographer Jamie Parrish for the latest in the Sobe Life H2O Campaign. Straight from their much buzzed-about Super Bowl debut, the SoBe Lizards are bringing their Thrillicious message to the world's largest outdoor stage – New York's Times Square. The SoBe Lizards – whose moves to the groove of “Thriller” helped make SoBe Life Water's Super Bowl ad a fan favorite and sparked an online frenzy – will make their presence felt in a larger-than-life way through video walls and avant-guard dance numbers throughout the city starting March 19 and on a huge billboard at the highly trafficked intersection of New York City's 7th Avenue and 47th Street later in the month. Parrish will be directing over 50 professional dancers for the project. Over the next few weeks, Parrish and the rhythmic reptiles will slither their way across Manhattan and the nation, spreading the SoBe Life Water Thrillicious movement from coast to coast. We at XCEL are thrilled about “Thrillicious."  XCEL also booked CiCi Kelley to be one of the dancers in this project.
