Teen Boy Needed for "The Mystery of Edwin Drood"

Auditions for musical “The Mystery of Edwin Drood”. Looking for a teen boy. Please see the details below. About the project: "Based on Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel of the same name, The Mystery of Edwin Drood is a hilarious musical comedy, staged as a show-within-a-show, as the Music Hall Royale – a delightfully loony Victorian theatre company – presents Dickens’ brooding mystery. Everyone therefore has two roles – their Music Hall persona and their character in the story of Drood. And what is that story? In the small town of Cloisterham, England, the young and charming Edwin Drood has assumed murdered! But by whom? His leering romantic rival, John Jasper? The infamous purveyor of opium and vice, Princess Puffer? The mysterious Landless twins, newly arrived from Ceylon? Or someone else even more dastardly and villainous? Dickens passed away before he was able to reveal the culprit, but Rupert Holmes’ award-winning musical (winner of five 1986 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Book, and Score) solves this predicament by asking the audience to choose which character is the killer by putting it to a vote."
