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!

re: What Musical Theatre Song Is Your Top Played on iTunes?
Top 5: 1. Let the Sunshine In (OBCR) 2. Let the Sunshine In (Actor's Fund Concert) 3. Being Alive (Doyle Revival) 4. Louder Than Words 5. 30/90 I've went through a few Hair phases, and it was recently my birthday!
re: (St. Louis) Muny announces most of ‘09 season
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.
re: (St. Louis) Muny announces most of ‘09 season
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*

re: [tos] tour?
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.
re: 'the [title of show] show' - Episode 10
You know, it's sad to see Mindy shot, but she was kinda Cheyenne's vampire...
re: 'the [title of show] show' - Episode 10
Maybe we get to vote on who killed Mindy, like in The Mystery of Edwin Drood - they did start the episode with "Perfect Strangers"...

re: THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD CD Question
^ Very true - I was looking for a copy for about four and a half years (after narrowly losing out on an eBay auction), then a few months ago, I found a copy at my campus' library!
re: GYPSY WITH PATTI LUPONE ANY RUMORS ABOUT SAINTHOOD?
Has Mother Bernadette been reached for comment yet? Or has St. Patti already had her ex-communicated?

re: If your favorite TV show was turned into a Broadway musical,
I'd go with Daniel Reichard as GOB, Raul as Buster, and Norbert Leo Butz as Michael. But Patti as Lucille is inspired!
re: Spring Awakening/Grease Parody
I really hope that girl gets to play Dot in about 15-20 years. The best one I ever saw on YouTube was the combo of Avenue Q and Fiddler on the Roof - Avenue Jew! (or was that something else?)
re: John Lloyd Young & John Gallagher Jr. (Cubby's former clients)
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: "You got all that from a song? I thought it was about pirates or something!"

Every time there's a gay joke.
re: South Pacific CD tracks not coming up on I-Tunes?
BTW, it also did that with a couple of my Forbidden Broadway CDs, though it usually doesn't.
