Way to go Cal! The Playbill article also lists another BETM Broadway and tour alum, Natalie Wisdom.

Saw Matilda last night in San Francisco. Cal plays Nigel, and doesn't understudy anyone! Its amazing the level of choreography kids can do. They aren't quite as precise as what I saw in the West End, which is understandable for a tour show, but its a great show.

I got to see cal in Matilda this past Wednesday and omg he was wonderful. I especially loved it when he ran onto the stage screaming. He did a wonderful job in Matilda and I can't wait to see show again this Saturday.

Cal has announced on Instagram he will be leaving the Matilda tour January 10th. I am sad he will have left the show before the tour reaches Rochester, but look forward to whatever he does next. Happy trails, Cal!

This is a remarkable article about a remarkable young man who, I sincerely hope, will play Billy Elliot one day:

Cal is quite the speller, too, according to this article in The Guardian:
A legion of America’s brightest schoolchildren have descended on Washington for the 90th Scripps National Spelling Bee, a three-day competition that begins on Tuesday and has evolved into a classic element of Americana.......

.......The competitors are high achievers across the board.......

......Calvin Alexander Jr, a sixth-grader from Shreveport, Louisiana, has toured with the Broadway shows Billy Elliot, A Christmas Story and Matilda the Musical.
