Seth Black-Diamond (Michael) is a well known local actor in the Tampa region. He studies at the Patel Institute at Tampa's Straz theatre, which has produced several National Tour Billys. Here is a local news video of him a few month's ago, as he was about to tour in A Christmas Story:

Here's a promo video for the show with Liam dancing. It's the same footage from the Seacoast Rep. promo.

Liam Redford is on Fox 5 in Atlanta about his getting lost when he dances, just like Billy.

Drew McVety (Dad) talks about having first played this role 9 or 10 years ago. I didn't recall his name but did some searching. In the old New York reviews threads, there are several complimentary mentions of him playing Scab/Posh Dad. I found some of my old programs from 2011 in which he was listed as Scab/Posh Dad and understudy for Dad.

Another very positive review of the City Springs production, this one from the Atlantaintownpaper.com. In summary: "“Billy Elliot” is moving, funny, ambitious, and sometimes breathtaking." Read more:

City Springs posted this video on Facebook of "Once We Were Kings" from last year's production. It looks like it was quite a high quality show.
