Cast List for “Les Misérables” Unveiled

By Andrew Salerno The Branford High School musical is still several months away, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t time to get excited for it. In October it was announced that next spring, Cathyann Roding and her dedicated cast and crew will be putting on “Les Misérables” for her 30th show. This show was put on about a decade ago at BHS, and is regarded as one of the best performances ever put on by the Branford High School performing arts program. Branford High School was one of the first schools to put on this musical. A story full of love, loss, revolution, and despair; this show is bound to be sold out when tickets go on sale next month to the public. Just last week, the cast list was also revealed to the public and is headlined by some familiar names  including Dan Frye, Sasha Shpitalnik, Chris Dormer, and Marissa Salazar. See below for the full cast list for “Les Misérables.” “Les Misérables,” directed by Cathyann Roding and Toni Cartisano, will have 5 performances this year. The showings start on March 18 and go through the 22. The early public ticket sale is Saturday, December 13 at 9 a.m. in the BHS choir room. “Les Miserables” Cast List: Leads (In order of appearance) Jean Valjean: Dan Frye Javert: Chris Dormer Fantine: Sasha Shpitalnik Young Cosette: Lily Kirby Madame Thenardier: Marissa Salazar Thenardier: Spencer Steinke Gavroche: Ricci Gold Enjolras: Jack Nelson Marius: Andrew Salerno Eponine: Hailey Nelson Cosette: Marissa Smoker ABC Society Feuilly: Jared Carlson Grantaire: Chris Altavilla Courfeyrac: Hunter Izzo Combeferre: Dan Lalor Prouvaire: Devin McNamara Lesgles: Max Peters Joly: Travis Johnson Featured parts (some are doubled) Bishop of Digne: Dan Lalor Foreman: Chris Altavilla Factory Girl: Cara Delucia Old Woman: Lily Kirby Pimp: Travis Johnson                     Bamatabois: Tyler Evon Thenardier’s Gang Montparnasse: Mike McCarthy Babet: Jill McGuire Claquesous: Kim Klarman Brujon: Tyler Evon Ensemble Maggie Angelo Chloe Barczak Gillian Basilicato Kierten Bjork Alexa Bodner Carly Breslin Justin Campos Cole Chase-Beach Francesca Cimino Mary Colleen Whitney Michaella Crane Cara DeLucia Logan Distasio Tyler Evon Shannon Finn Quinn Franco-Camacho Casey Gold Alanna Grimm Alex Hernandez Michael Hoadley Sushraya Jay Kim Klarman Danny Lear EJ Lee Kendra Libby Michael McCarthy Maddie McGann Jillian McGuire Patrick Mullane Maddie Oberempt Claire Paterson Emma Pendon Ashley Roding Danielle Roth Cody Runkle Alyssa Sachs Emily Sachs Skylar Sandler Skyler Unitas Victoria Warfield Iana West Therese Ziaks
