Well, I suppose - physically, it is possible for a boy to wear a tutu, although it may look a little strange! If the boy is a very young child then, of course it is FINE for him to dress up playing gmaes, but If he is older, I am sure he will not want the possible humiliation, although it is his own personal choice!
Should a boy wear Cinderella sparkle tights?
Yes they should. They look sweet on boys. The maker accidentally was told (as a joke) to make them for boys only, he did. All boys should wear them for curiosity, cuteness, softness, ballet, feminine hormone, warmth (warmer than long-johns or socks) and tightness. It was said in the Bible a woman shouldn't wear a mans clothes but a man should wear woman's clothes openly.

Musical theatre is more of a Broadway style of dancing. There aren't many differences between jazz and musical theatre. Probably the difference is that musical theatre is more like acting opposed to jazz dance where there is more dance technique. I personally LOVE jazz and have taken it since I was five and now I am going to be sixteen. Jazz is such a fun style of dance where you can express your style rather than act like someone else in musical theatre. Either way, keep dancing!

How do you get ballerinas feet?
Ballerinas feet are developed over many years. It is a combination of strength and flexibility that create dancers feet. Both strength and flexibility need to be gained slowly, particularly the flexibility aspect. As the foot has limited flexibility due to the ammount of bones in the area to increase flexion (pointing) and dorsiflexion (bendin ie plie) often injuries can occur when pushing the feet further than what the individual was born with. Strength on the other hand is easier to obtain, using a theroband (talk to your physio about this). The strength is needed under the feet (sole) this area is known as the intrinsic muscles. When pointing the feet, to prevent injury, using the intrinsic muscles intead of the calves to point is important.
Great strength in the muscles in the foot (as well as the legs) need to be devloped through very strenuous training. But such is not enough. Paticularly, dead skin, caluses need to be developed on the soles of the feet. As insulation, protection. To protect the foot (and the rest of the body) from the harshly uncomfortable conditions of the pointe shoe.
Ballerinas also go 'up' on point. This is requires extreme strength and the acquired flexibility gained over 4-5 years. Generally ballerinas begin strengthing their feet about from about 5yrs old.
