AYAA Dream Casting: Les Miserables (It's a big one!)

So excited for this week's dream casting! I asked a bunch of different young actors from around the Valley to help me dream cast the musical voted on the AYAA Twitter polls last week as the Best Musical of All Time, Les Miserables. Les Miserables tells the story of Jean Valjean, a man during the revolutionary period in France convicted of stealing a loaf of bread. The story of Jean Valjean falls in conjunction with a group of politically-minded students responsible for the June Rebellion. It is the longest running musical on the West End.

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 a bunch different young actors in the Valley (the biggest group we have done) --  Noah Delgado, Noa Gauthier, Erin Kong, Skyler Washburn, Nicholas Hambruch, Alexia Filler and Mark Munoz -- and asked them to dream cast Les Miserables.
