I want to put to rest the rumor that John Senczuk has cast himself as the lead and his choreographer in a principal role in Blood Brothers. This is categorically wrong. I have no idea where the rumor that some crazy director as cast themselves and their choreographer to play inappropriate roles came from.

The ITA is not a governing or enforcing body like a union or organizational representative. They cannot enforce any theatre to adhear to any regulation or ruling. Even if they were, they have no influence what-so-ever over professional productions such as Blood Brothers. Directors and companies can run auditions however they choose, although they run the serious risk of loosing popularity, face or whatever, if they make the conscious choice to pre-cast without notice.

Calling on the ITA to do anything is a fruitless exercise. It's not what they are there for.
