The Characters

Julie is a strong, smart and talented fifteen year old who gives the band “a second chance at life” by becoming their lead keyboardist. After her mom died she lost her passion for music, but luckily the Phantoms appeared and reignited her love for creating and performing. She is played by the amazing Madison Reyes, and this is her first professional acting role! She beat out over 700 other people for the role.
The boys aka the phantoms of Sunset Curve include Luke (who has a tough exterior but is actually really sensitive and sweet), Reggie (who’s the prankster of the group), and Alex (who basically holds the whole group together).

Fun Facts

Another fun fact is that the mascot of Julie’s high school is a bobcat (which is a nod to the wildcat mascot in High School Musical. Also, the marching band in episode five, “I’ve Got The Music” is a subtle nod to the parade scene in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (which was choreographed by Kenny Ortega).
