Yeah have to admit, Geoffrey Rush would be great too. He certainly looks the part. Can he sing?

I am curious to see who will be cast for the Thénardiers.

Robert Downey Jr.s name was thrown around in casting discussions but I am not sure for what part.....he is beautiful, but I think he would be great in the role of Thénardier. He's got the dramatic chops and we have all seen him do Chaplin, so we know he can do physical comedy. He is a master at accents and character roles and has a dirty bari/tenor voice with history in song and dance. I think it woyld be fun......am I tota

For the answer to your Sweeny Todd question I suppose you could look at the recent film version with Johnny Depp. Did that work for you?

I was late to the party and finally just recently saw Rent for the first time. I am not sure if it resonates as well as it did when it first launched. Maybe people are less likely to tak

Melinda is a talent! Been wanting to see her do this role for years, but I have always been in the wrong city at the wrong time.

Heck yeah, it's all Bono's fault! That 22 time Grammy winning hack! How dare he try to make a better show!

Thanks every one for posting comments on this thread about this film. I just found it on hulu. I never would have know about this film otherwise.
I was not shocked at all watching it. Perhaps it was because I read every one else’s thoughts here, or maybe it is because I work in theatre and see the crazy stage moms and bratty children on a consistent basis (lucky me). It just reminds me of every sad child actor story in holl
