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

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.

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:

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.

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...)
