Les Miz Casting Call: Posted — Page 2

"Meaning this may not be a newly staged production."

Does it still involve a turntable?

I wish audtions were more open, that more non-union actors would get seen and casted on Broadway(for any show)shows. I believe talent, if casting thinks a person is right and ready for the role, should be the main factor, not wherever or not someone is a member of the union.

This time I do see how it would make sense to cast people who have already been in the show, since this is a speical/limited time production. Plus it hasn't been too long since the show closed on Broadway.

Yes, but there was a long stretch after she left before any more notable color-blind casting happened.

I think if Michael wanted to be part of this, he would pick up the phone to Mr. Mackintosh. That call might result in a private meeting.

But yes, Broadway stars often show up at Equity auditions. Some get a feel for who all's gonna be there prior to. They're tricky as well as talented.

In thinking about color blind casting, the next minority I could think of being casted after Lea Salonga is Shanice(who is black or whatever term you want to use), who played Eponine in 1995 I believe, only a few years after Lea.
