I always look for confirmation that an issued license will become a real production. According to this audition notice, BETM will be performed at DULUTH PLAYHOUSE'S MAIN STAGE theatre on the later dates of July 13-30, 2017.

This is possibly the most heartfelt casting call I have seen:

It's interesting that they don't list a Billy or Michael in the list of those roles they're holding auditions for. Already cast?

It appears auditions for Billy were held in October, at least for this young man.
I haven't seen any indication, one way or another, if he was cast.

Billy and Mrs Wilkinson in this production are son and mother in real life.
