Brilliant! I know who should be cast as Wednesday and Lucas in The Addams Family musical on Broadway, in about eight years' time:

Sam's mother, Mindy, posted this very nice blog on May 20 about kids in show business growing up. I think we know who she means when she talks about her boy who can no longer play a 10 year old.

Noah's mom, Robyn, has left a very perceptive comment to Mindy's blog post.

According to last Saturday's "Daily Telegraph", "Boychoir", which has been retitled "The Choir", will be released in UK cinemas on Friday 10th July 2015. Here is a review of the film from London City Nights:

According to Sam's public Facebook Fan Page, and his Mom, he will be performing the role of Prince Chulalonghorn in Broadway's King and I in all shows September 1-6. If you are able to get to NYC, this may be your last chance to see him perform on Broadway in the near future.

From Sam: "I have decided to leave working on The King and I on Broadway full time to fully immerse myself in LaGuardia High School as a drama major. I have absolutely LOVED being on this show with amazing people, and am so grateful for the experience."

This is a very mature and difficult decision, but I am sure we will see more of his amazing talent in the future.

Best of luck Sam on your new adventure!

Reading the comments to and from Sam makes me appreciate what a well-grounded young man he is. That is one of the great things about this show - the kids seem to come out of it as grounded, focused and really quite normal.
