Canton took his final bow as part of Stagelights Act 3. He capped off his run, which included the Dwarf in Sherek, Iago in Aladdin, King Julien in Madagascar, Crush in Nemo, and finally Buddy in Elf.

This week has been haaaaaaarrrrrrdddd. Any show week is crazy, but we never thought we would have to deal with the star having pneumonia. Canton pours his heart into everything he does. He does not know how to do anything he loves halfway. I did not want him to do the show, but I knew I couldn’t take it away from him. It had to be his decision, and he decided he had to go. The gallons of sweat that have poured out of this kid, he gave everything he had to this production. And they have given him so much in return.

We are so thankful for all he has learned and the friendships he has made along the way! The stage is his happy place, and he is nothing less than magical.
