Here's a rehearsal video of Kai in the dance portion of Electricity. It's very rare we get a peek at the early stages of a show being put together. For 3 1/2 months before opening I'd say this is quite impressive.

Here's another "meet the cast" post, this one for Cameron Korzinski (Michael).

https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=74 ... 7371457711

Cameron Korzinski (Michael Caffrey) is excited to take the stage for this production of Billy Elliot: The Musical. Cameron started performing at age 2, when he performed in his first dance recital. He began learning and developing with OFC in the summer of 2021. Cameron has done seven theatrical shows and three student cabarets. Some of Cameron's favorite roles have been Oliver Jr. (Oliver Twist) Oliver! (Charley Bates) The Lion King Jr. (Young Simba) and Elf Jr. (Michael Hobbs).

When Cameron is not in the theater he likes to
sing, dance, play video games, and create content for his YouTube channel.

Cameron would like to thank his supportive family and friends, his dance instructors, vocal coaches and the entire amazing staff at OFCTC. He is grateful for this experience and hopes that you enjoy the show!
