Wow, 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.

She seems perfect for the role! I'm getting more and more excited to see this production.

This is the best cast ever!

Honestly, 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!

Wow! 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.

This piece of information has made me a lot more interested in this revival if it proves to be true.

She would also make an amazing Glinda in Wicked!

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!

*threadjack* Does anyone know if they'll def. be making a new cast recording with this cast?? Because that would be cool.

I 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?

Spring Awakening hadn't announced its Broadway transfer by the time the original casting for Les Mis was leaked.

I 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.

Wow. I hope this is true!

Hurray! Love Celia and love this role for her!

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.
