Thank god Ramin isn't playing Jean Valjean. I adore him but not as anyone but Enjolras in Les Mis. I'd like to see Alfie Boe return myself. Aaron would be a fabulous !arius in my opinion. He's much more suited to It than he was Enjolras.
Agree that Tveit would be a good Marius. Then who for Enjolras? My personal vote would be for the tour's E, Jason Forbach. I thought he was quite charismatic, had a very powerful voice, and excellent chemistry with the other rebels (all of them, not just his real life bf).
Alfie Boe has US tour dates booked from January 31 through March 9th. His NY Town Hall concert is Feb 25. Les Mis previews start March 1 so he's not a possibility. Did anyone see him at Joe's Pub Thursday?
Alfie Boe's concert at Joe's Pub was fantastic. And he did a stripped down acoustic version of Bring Him Home that was absolutely beautiful. I would love to see him in the revival.
"I can't picture Ramin Karimloo because he's too young, and too slight, physically. "
huh?? Too slight!?! He is around 6ft and muscled, he isnt too slight and didnt look it on stage. Certainly no different to many other Valjeans ive seen. Alfie Boe is smaller
