AYAA Dream Casting: The Phantom of the Opera

Hello, everyone!

Welcome to the SECOND installment in our new series on dream casting. Last Sunday, I posted the first installment of this series on Grease, so be sure to check that out. I know I mentioned these would be posted on Friday, but people are busy and it took until now to get everyone's lists :)

On AYAA, how I am running this is two ways:

• Self-submitted: If you have a dream cast for a show, send it to me at mackenna.azyoungactors@gmail.com or via Facebook. MUST BE WITH VALLEY ACTORS, NOT BROADWAY HUMANS.
• Facilitated by me: I will be reaching out to 4-5 actors/actresses periodically. (I will also be participating from time to time) I will give each of them the same show and see the diverse ways they cast the show. I will only be able to ask you if you are friends with me on my personal Facebook. Same thing, it will be with Valley actors, not people on Broadway.

Today, I present to you one of the "Facilitated by me" types of dream casting. I reached out to five different young actors in the Valley -- Anson Romney, Sophia Baviashi, Jacqueline Brecker, Bailey Gorman, and Emma Welch  -- and asked them to dream cast The Phantom of the Opera.
