The 2012 Carousel Music Theater Cast
 Kristofer
Because Kristofer Holz has few mathematical abilities and possesses only 10 fingers, he is no longer able to count the number of years it has been since he 1st appeared at the Carousel as but a wee, wee lad barely sprung from the crib. That said, he is beyond delighted to be back! A NYC based stage actor, he was recently seen as Costa in the award winning “Opa! The Musical”, in New York, and before that as Vinnie in The Skinner Barn’s marvelous production of “Lucky Stiff” in Vermont. Previously, his other professional credits include what now seems an almost endless series of productions of “1776” including a run at the famed “Goodspeed Opera House” (he swung that one, but usually he has appeared as Edward Rutledge) as well as 2 LONG runs of “Fiddler On the Roof” (Perchik once, and 3rrd prayer shawl-from-the-left the other time) and “Oklahoma” (Curly, both times) as well as a large slew of other plays and musicals all having one virtue in common: None of them demanded that he dance much. Or well.
