Casting for BETM at Phoenix??

Post by tzwicky »

Has anyone heard anything about the Thanksgiving/Christmas-time production of BETM in Phoenix?

They're using untraditional artwork for the publicity (which gives me pause).

Information from a Phoenix native would be helpful to speak to the quality of the shows at their regional theatre. The seats go from $36 to $81.

Looks like a smallish theatre.

I'm also leery of the fact that casting should have been announced by this time but a quick search got me nowhere.

And since I would be introducing a BillyVirgin to the BillyVerse, I am kinda twitchy.

So I'm asking for input before I pull the trigger.

I was kind of thinking just the opposite, actually. Seems like a number of Billys in the regional productions look like they're about 14 or 15 years old and are already singing in a lower register. The two lads who are in Phoenix look to be about the right age, in my opinion - about the same age as the Billys who were in London, Broadway, national tour, etc.
