Tony Awards Dreamcasting!

Hey everyone! Recently, the Tony Nominees were announced. There are a ton of great shows nominated this year, so I asked some people to cast the plays and musicals nominated at this year's awards. Every play and musical that got at least one nomination is represented here. I did a lot of the cast lists, but had some help from my friends! A lot of people were interested in doing a cast for Dear Evan Hansen, so you will see that show disproportionately represented here. In any case, enjoy!

SOME LINKS FOR THINGS GOING ON WITH AYAA RIGHT NOW:

1. Auditions for She Kills Monsters
2. Voting for May MUSICAL Madness!

Please check them both out :)

*If the cast list does not have a name above it in bold, indicating who created it, it means I made it :)
