Casting for a furture Movie of Les Miz — Page 2

But, PhantomMag, it seems like you pick Christy Carlson Romano for every single "dream cast" you make.

People are so snotty on these boards... I don't know why they are so mean! People always correct people for misspellings but really, it's a message board for gum's sake!! It would be surprising if every single person took the time to edit every little post. Lighten up, people! This is supposed to be fun!!!

You bring it upon yourself.

Who chose this dream list? It's awful... I think if I ever see Emmy Rossum in another singing role I'll claw my eyes out. [I agree with JimmyoJimmy] And on top of everything else, a lot of the people chosen for the cast list don't sing... but technically, it doesn't matter if emmy rossum is on your list.

Seriously mag, if you created this list yourself... go learn more about Broadway and the roles you are trying to choose.

I don't think she made that list herself. A lot of people want to pick known actors because they are people they are familiar with, and they think that they look like those characters. They don't really analyze what they are saying and they don't realize that perhaps those people cannot sing. I would pick Michael McCarthy or Robert Hunt for Javert, Randal Keith as Valjean, Jayne Paterson and Tonya Dixon for Fantine, Noah Galvin for Gavroche, and Melissa Lyons as Eponine.

I would pick Randel Keith as Valjean, Jason Issacs as Javert, Nicole Kidman as Fantine, Raquel Castro as Young Cosette, Robin Williams as Thenardeir, Paige Davis as Madame Thenardeir, Noah Galvan as Gavroche, Christain Bale as Enjorlas, Jennifer Ellison as Eponine, Christy Carlson Romano as Cosette and Josh Groban as Marius.

Besides I can totally see Paige sing "I used to dream that I would meet a prince. But God Amighty HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT'S HAPPENED SNINCE!" Now that role is PAIGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya know once I considered this. What if Britney Spears played Eponine? HA! She can't even sing! What a fool I was!

Nicole Kidman's voice is too thin for Fantine. Personally, I'm for Ruthie Henshall.

As for Cosette... there has to be someone better than Emmy Rossum or Christy Carlson-Romano. From what I've heard, Christy's high notes aren't the best (granted, I'm going off of "Parade" so she may have improved since then,) and Emmy is... no comment. Judy Kuhn's probably too old for the role now... does anyone know how old the Cosette in the Complete Symphonic Recording is now? She was wonderful. Or, this may be random, but I think Celia Konan-Bolger (sp?) would make a great Cosette.

Javert... either Terrence Mann or Phillip Quast

Madame Thenardier... Jennifer Butt! She's in the OBC and I saw her in the tour; she is great. As for Thenardier himself, I have to admit I don't really care that much about who plays him, as long as he sings well enough.
