Posted: 8/25/06 at 6:45pmWow, I just got tears in my eyes when I read this. I would DEFINITELY shell up $100 to see the show if she was in it.

Posted: 8/25/06 at 6:51pmShe seems perfect for the role! I'm getting more and more excited to see this production.

Posted: 8/25/06 at 6:57pmHonestly, this is the perfect cast with the exception of Daphne Rubin-Vega. She might be good, so I won't judge her yet, but she just doesn't seem right for the part. Everyone else though makes it seem like it's going to be stellar!

I'm kind of a sweat pant, t-shirt, no make-up type of girl. So once a year, I can get spiffy.

Posted: 8/25/06 at 7:24pmWow! Good for her! I'm still not overly thrilled for this to be coming back (and taking up a theatre in what's shaping up to be a VERY busy season) but the cast is definitely intriguing.

Posted: 8/25/06 at 7:25pmThis piece of information has made me a lot more interested in this revival if it proves to be true.

Oh, don't say that, Horton =)
I am very excited, and a little disappointed. Disappointed because this means I have to get a job to buy the cast album...*sigh*...but some things are too good to be missed!

Posted: 8/25/06 at 7:52pmI'd actually like to see her as Janet Van De Graaf or Susan in tick, tick...Boom!

Posted: 8/25/06 at 8:32pm*threadjack* Does anyone know if they'll def. be making a new cast recording with this cast?? Because that would be cool.
#17re: Celia is Eponine
Posted: 8/25/06 at 8:40pmI am sure that they will, this is an all star cast!

I'll believe this when I get an official confirmation. What happened to Lea Michele?http://www.broadway.com/gen/Buzz_Story.aspx?ci=530545
I guess she's doing Spring Awakening, but why announcment in the first place then?

Posted: 8/25/06 at 8:57pmSpring Awakening hadn't announced its Broadway transfer by the time the original casting for Les Mis was leaked.

Posted: 8/25/06 at 9:01pmI am really glad that she is in it, and I am sure she will be great. But I just can't picture her in that role.

I can confirm this also! A friend of mine went to Michigan with Celia and frequently performs with her, and she told me today Celia would be playing Eponine..
Great news! I think she'll be fantastic.
