Les Mis Radio City Casting#1

Hey, does anyone have any updates on who’s going to be in the Radio City Les Mis production.

I am suspecting Lea Michele as Eponine or Fantine because she is leaving Chess in June and not in September with the rest of the cast. She did Les Mis at the Hollywood Bowl as Eponine and obviously made her Broadway debut as Young Cosette and Young Eponine in the original production. Eponine has always been a dream role of hers.

I believe I read somewhere that she wanted to bookend her Les Miz experience by playing Fantine. That would make a lot more sense than Eponine. She'd sing the hell out of it but I think she's likely aged out of that role.

The rest of the cast of "Chess" is leaving in September?  The entire cast - they are?  When was that announced?

I feel as well Radio City is getting Lea Michele, LEA SALONGA, Earl Carpenter, and a couple other alumni... it wouldn't surprise me if Michael Ball is attached as well.
