One foot in High School the other on National TV . Hairspray Live NBC December 7
Long rehearsal time in LA. Family flew in. Great story of boy starting to arrive bigtime.
The only member under 21 and the workload is horrendous.

Sam has posted this "dance reel", a compilation of much of his work of the past two years, including BETM and "Hairspray Live!". It's one more chance to see what a fantastic dancer he is!

I don't think this video has been posted on here yet, but to go along with the previous video from CJ-Rochester, here's a video of dance highlights from Sam's "Billy Elliot" stint in North Carolina a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87hKGI6QauQ

University of Michigan's musical theatre class of 2021 performed a fun parody mashup of iconic songs from musicals!

The students created the video which was directed by Sam Faulkner....
