A Broadway musical has launched a multi-city search for actors of all ages, including young performers to play Michael Jackson at age 10.
The producers of "MJ the Musical" are holding open auditions across the country over the next few weeks. They're looking for actors for stage roles as well as to understudy, and must possess the singing and dancing chops to play Michael Jackson at various stages of his life.

Tony Award-nominee Ephraim Sykes has been cast in the main role as Jackson. The show is expected to open next summer at the Neil Simon Theatre in New York.
Auditions will take place across the country throughout January in Washington, D.C., Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta, New York City, and Los Angeles. Video submissions will also be accepted.
