AYAA Dream Casting: Beauty and the Beast

Hello, everyone! Welcome to another week of Dream Casting! This week, AYAA is happy to present Beauty and the Beast! Beauty and the Beast -- based on the Disney movie of the same name -- tells the story of a prince who is transformed into a hideous beast as a consequence of a magical spell punishing his vanity. When he meets a beautiful girl named Belle, he finds a chance to become human again if he can earn Belle's love.

On AYAA, I am running dreamcasting 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 three different young actors in the Valley --  Lauren Anderson, Steven Enriquez and Julian Mendoza -- and asked them to dream cast Beauty and the Beast. Their responses and mine are below.
