im sure everyone knows this already but hey for the sake of stating the obvious... the boys they will be looking to cast in the production will have to not only look young but sound young, broken voices are useless in the musical and being to tall is a guaranteed knockback... all im saying is dont waste your time if your 14 or 15 because even if your voice hasnt broken they will almost certainly be too scared to cast you in case you have a growth spurt or your voice breaks during rehearsal... a strong ballet is also looked for etc etc... but goodluck to all those hopefuls...
