Goodspeed Musicals have announced further auditions beyond what they held last Fall, for both adult and child cast members for its upcoming production of BETM.

From the way the child auditions announcement is worded, it would appear they already have their Billy (s?) and Michael.

How old is Jamie Mann? I notice he is in the cast of Goodspeed's "Because of Winn-Dixie". Is he too old to play young Billy? Could he now be playing Older Billy?
