Elliot must have been cast very early. He posted the same photo on his own Facebook page back on December 26, 2016. Congratulations Elliot!

Re: San Diego Music Theatre
An informative interview.
http://www.danceinforma.com/2017/08/01/ ... ly-elliot/
Who will be playing Billy in this run of the production, and what unique talents and perspectives do you expect this actor will bring to the role?
“Our Billy will be played by a young local boy named Charlie Garton. He has a lot of talent and a lot to offer. He is a really smart and has a great natural approach to the role.”

Charlie Garton can tap dance for sure!
Here's a video clip of him dancing to "Great Balls of Fire".
