The new year has started and so has the musical practices. This year, Beaver Local is taking on the longest running Broadway show, the mother of all musicals, the one and only, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera. Casting is complete and the amount of talent is unbelievable. With over 30 students cut, this 60 person production will be one for the books. You will be seeing some familiar faces such as Christine Daae the shy yet talented argenue who will be played by Madeleine Schreffler with Andrea Trotter as the understudy. (Previously known as Sandy and Jan from last years production of Grease) The Phantom will be played by the talented Jeremy Balmenti who will be debuting his deep astounding vocal abilities. Raoul will also bring a new face, Roc Worth, who will play the love-stricken man who fights for Christine’s love till the end. Carlotta, the dramatic, loud, operatic prima donna will be played by Abigail Monte who was previously known as Cha Cha from last years Grease and her funny clumsy yet talented love, Piangi, will be played by Grant Hall or previously known as Johnny Cassino From Grease. These are just a few of the talented parts of the production. Alexa Schwerha, our student director, is Hamilton and Gabbert’s right hand and will be working around the clock to make sure that the Phantoms mic is on, down to the last candle has been lit. Details are the key in this production and every member must put in 100% to make sure the production is perfect. The dates of this show are Friday, March 16th at 7pm, Saturday the 17th at 7pm, and Sunday the 18th at 2pm. pre-sale tickets will go on sale before we know it. We hope to see you there!
