I think we all knew this was going to happen.

Ugh. ENOUGH. Next thing we know Lin Manuel Miranda will be in another revival of In The Heights.

Cue the music from "Do You Hear the People Sing?"

And please, put Sierra in as Fantine!!!

My dream cast:

Valjean: Alfie Boe or Ramin Karimloo (he keeps saying he wants to make his Broadway debut!)
Javert: Andrew Varela!
Fantine: as I said-Sierra Boggess

I have no idea about the other roles-those are the ones I'd cast.

This is great news! I'm very much looking forward to this. And yes, PLEASE Sierra as Fantine.

I'm only going if Jan Maxwell plays Madame T.

Andrew Varela for Javert or I don't care. :-p

Stephanie J. Block as Fantine.

Harvey Fierstein for Fantine - or one of the Thenardiers

I've heard the people sing...enough.

Been there a few times actually. Enjoyed it. Still listen to the CD. Don't feel the need to return.

For those who feel compelled to go - I'm happy for you.

I'd love for Sierra Boggess to play Fantine in this revival after doing it in the West End. Karimloo would be amazing, but I heard somewhere that he's only interested in doing the Toronto revival because he's from Canada. Brian d'Arcy James would be amazing as Jean Valjean. Marc Kudish would be terrific as Javert. I'd like to see Melissa O'Neil, who will play Eponine in that production, transfer to this Broadway revival.

I'd love to see Hugh Panaro play Valjean!

Love the show... but enough already.

^ Why can't the show be revived here in America? The West End is still playing this classic today.

If they keep opening and closing they can get more Tonys

Broadway can be such a freaking theme park at times. This show needs to be shelved for at least 20 years. Enough is enough.

[beautywickedlover]

Posted: 5/30/13 at 12:23pm

Some of my other choices would be Erin Mackey as Cosette, Daniel Radcliffe or Aaron Tveit as Marius (if he wasn't busy with his new TV show), Patti Lupone or Bernadette Peters as Madame Thenardier, and Terence Mann or John Dossett as Monsieur Thenardier.

Could Sam Barks come and make her Broadway debut as Eponine??

"This show needs to be shelved for at least 20 years. Enough is enough."

'Gypsy' and 'La Cage aux Folles' were not shelved for a long time.

"Could Sam Barks come and make her Broadway debut as Eponine??"

Rumor has it that Mackintosh already wants her to play Nancy in both a Broadway revival and new film adaptation of 'Oliver!'

Anneleise van der Pol would also be wonderful as Eponine, but according to a firend of her's she's very picky about what musicals she likes to do. She doesn't like to perform in shows we'd expect her to do.

Patina Miller as Fantine....let's really shake things up!!! LOL

[MusicalTheatreGeek2]

Posted: 5/30/13 at 12:34pm

Well she likes switching genders, so why couldn't Patina do Javert?

[gchris11]

Posted: 5/30/13 at 12:35pm

I would pay to see that.
