20 too young to play Sky?

[Musicaldudepeter]

Is 20 too young to play Sky Masterson, even if the person looks older and can really do justice to the role, vocally and acting-wise?

[WOSQ]

Yes, generally speaking, 20 is too young to play Sky.

Mitigating factor: how old are the other three leads and the rest of the principals? If everyone else is in the 20 range, then it isn't so bad, but if the others are 30 or even 25, there could be a problem.

Sky has some miles on his tires and no matter how good an actor is, mileage is tough to convey.

At the very least Sky should appear to be in his mid 30s. If the actor can convincingly do that, I'd say yes.
