- Dawson Casting: Inverted in the Takarazuka productions. Because the roles of the Phantom and Carrière are played by the top star and the nibante (the two highest-ranking otokoyaku - male role actresses - in the troupe), Gerard's actress is always younger than Erik's. Carrière is Erik's father. Played straight, however, with the role of young Erik, who is a child played by actresses 18 and up.
