Tom Hooper directing 'Les Miserables' film

I haven't posted here on BWW for a few years, but I feel so strongly about one casting choice I had to chime in: Michael Keaton as Thenardier! Ever since I saw Much Ado, that's been my personal dream film casting.
As for the rest, Hugh Jackman is perfect...for Javert, although I really can't think of any better/more likely Valjeans. And I'm holding out hope for a Colm cameo as the bishop!

Well, this past summer included The Producers, and the summer before had Les Miz.
Hairspray doesn't seem too far fetched, though. I might see it if that were the case.

Four of those shows were done exactly five years ago. Then again, that's kind of what they do - recycle the same four or five shows every four or five years. Damn you, Paul Blake!
And NGD, with very few exceptions, The Muny is local.
I guess I can - once again - hope against hope that the seventh show is Ragtime. *sigh*

Look at it this way - if they did tour, they wouldn't even need a bus and a truck. They'd just need a fair-sized mini-van!
Or they could cram their lives in a U-Haul...
That said, I really doubt it. (But I certainly wouldn't mind seeing it do so!)

re: Signature Theatre (Virginia) to mount Les Miserables

Not gonna lie, I'm supremely jealous of the state of VA right now. I've always said that if it was ever given a chance, Les Miz would work brilliantly in an intimate space.
That said, you know that if it works and is a sucess, they'll mount it at Cirlce in the Square (or some other small broadway house), so they can make Les Miz money without spending Les Miz money.

Maybe we get to vote on who killed Mindy, like in The Mystery of Edwin Drood - they did start the episode with "Perfect Strangers"...

I'd go with Daniel Reichard as GOB, Raul as Buster, and Norbert Leo Butz as Michael. But Patti as Lucille is inspired!

The best one I ever saw on YouTube was the combo of Avenue Q and Fiddler on the Roof - Avenue Jew!

Am I the only one who's been expecting an Avenue Q mention at somepoint? While all of the Tony-winning cameos so far have been great, other than Julie White, weren't they all favorites in their categories? (Not that I'm doubting Cubby's influence, mind you.)
Best line:
