We have had other cases where someone tweeted or posted on a public facebook that their student was going to be in the show, and then it turned out not to be true, so I think we'll wait a bit on that.

This public facebook page of Cameron's school also says he got the role of Michael and in a comment underneath the post, his mother confirms that Cameron was in Billy School for a year and finally did get the Michael role.

It's nice that the kids and their parents are very approachable at the Imperial stage door.

Ha actually I didn't approach them, Thommie Retter (Mr. Braithwaite) approached me outside the stage door while he was talking to Cameron. And that lead to hanging out with him and his mom briefly there outside the imperial stage door, and then going over to the stage door at the Hirschfeld to wait for Daniel and John. (Yes I got both of their autographs as well) Clifford was quite the ladies man outside that stage door. Fun night
