Here are a couple of brief dance videos from Sam's public Instagram. He appears to be very well qualified. :D

He is 15, like Noah. You have to wonder why he was not in the Tour, seeing as he has an extensive background in dance and theater.

When I first saw the photo of Sam I thought it was Mitchell. After looking closer you can tell the differences, but at just a glance the resemblance between them is strong. 8-)

Do you have a link to something that says Sam is 15? I haven't seen that information in any of the links provided. Or did I just miss it?

Okay, here is the link to another page of Sam's twitter, which gives his age as 15:

https://twitter.com/samfaulkner5678

From this page I also see that he is from Charlotte, NC, which is interesting to me for three reasons: 1. I lived in the Charlotte area for over 30 years before moving back to VA. 2. Dillon Stevens is from the Charlotte area. 3. There might be a small possibility that Sam could show up in the NC Theatre production in Raleigh in February.

Want a preview of Sam singing Electricity? Notice the comment on the video from Daniel Russell through his YouTube channel.

Here is a great video of Sam singing Red Ryder (A Christmas Story the Musical) two years ago.

('Gosh...he is amazing' can be heard at 1.27 and onwards...)
