A musical based on the career of Michael Jackson will open at the Lyric Theatre in January.
Thriller - Live, which will feature tracks from Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5, is currently casting for the lead role.
Producers confirmed that they are auditioning for "a young undiscovered talent" between the ages of 11-15 to take on the role of Michael.
Auditions are being held at the Lyric on November 23. Hopefuls must be able to perform 'Ben', 'I Want You Back' or 'I'll Be There'.
The production has previously visited Germany, Holland and Scandinavia.
Producer Derek Nicol commented: "Thriller - Live is an uplifting, feel-good show with incredible choreography and sensational songs that everyone knows and loves - it's just the sort of escapist entertainment people need to take their minds off how tough life is at the moment."
