Robert Pattinson Role in Twilight: The Musical Filled!

If you have heard rumors about a Twilight musical and thought maybe it was a cruel joke, then you are totally mistaken. It’s real and casting has officially begun. Before you turn red in the face, let me explain just what this musical is. This isn’t just another incarnation of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga, like, say, the graphic novels, which are just that. No, my friends, this musical project is a parody. Does that make it more exciting?

Laughter is the best medicine, right? Well, Twilight: The Musical will make its off-Broadway debut on January 16th. Getting a ticket might be murder. The event is a one-night-only staged reading and the proceeds go to the charity “Blessings in a Backpack”. I hear you can already see clips of the performance on youtube. Lauren Lopez will play Alice. You may know her as the girl who played Draco Malfoy opposite Darren Criss as Harry Potter in “A Very Potter Musical.” And now we give you your new Edward Cullen. Watch your back Mr. Pattinson.

According to Broadway.com, Rent veteran performer Colin Hanlon will take the stage as Bella’s Edward in the musical. Also in his credits are off-Broadway performances in I Love You Because and Rags, tick, tick…BOOM! and Triangle. Gabriel Barre will direct him in Twilight: The Musical.
