Posted: 2/17/06 at 3:42pmI too have to vote for BS Mitchell as Javert and Michael Ball as Valjean. Esp. after hearing and seeing the bit on PBS two nights ago. But I think Ball could also do Javert justice also.

Melissa has played Cossette (to perfection, I might add) before, but I think she may be a bit long in the tooth for the role now.
Kelli O'Hara?

Yeah, I know she's done it.
Kelli would be interesting. And she looks good with black hair.

Posted: 2/17/06 at 3:58pmLike, two weeks ago, my mom told me that if Les Mis was ever revived on Broadway with Randal Keith as Valjean (she just loves him), she and I would go to NYC to see it, so I'd better root for him.

I am excited about it coming back to Broadway, even though I will probably not get to see it on Broadway. I don't care that some people are mad about this.
I would like Randal Keith to get the honor of playing Valjean again on Broadway. For Eponine, I would like to see Ma-Anne Dionisio play her on Broadway, I think she might have a few good years left where she can play Eponine effectively. I saw both these actors on the 3nt, and enjoyed both their performances, so I think it would be great for them to be in this cast especailly if there is a cast recording.

I don't really have a wish list for this show, but here are my comments on three of the names that have been brought up already:
Sutton F. - going to Drowsy Chaperone (as has been mentioned)
Julia M. - doing Wicked for a few months
Colm W. - last I heard he's doing The Pirate Queen

Posted: 2/17/06 at 5:34pmI want to boycott this production on principle, but if Anthony Warlow was cast I think I would have to buy a ticket.

Can you imagin how much tickets are going to be for this!?
I'm not familiar with the show so I cant really contribute to this. However, the mention of Mr. AMAZING Esparza excites me GREATLY!

Posted: 2/17/06 at 5:44pmI definitely want to see Terrence back as Javert because he can still do it. I'd also love the idea of Colm returning and what about Randy Graff as Fantine?

I personally don't know how likely it is, but just the idea of Michael Ball singing Valjean against Stokes' Javert is giving me a few chills. Quite possibly my two most favorite theatre singers, and their voices are almost polar opposites but still amazing, which would really help bring out the contrast.

Posted: 2/17/06 at 5:50pmJudy Kuhn as Fantine please. Her rendition of I Dreamed a Dream was to die for. Perfection. Updated On: 2/17/06 at 05:50 PM

For Marius I'd really like to have Kevin Kern back so I could actually see him. Same goes for Diana Kaarina as Eponine. Saw Randal as VJ on the NT and LOVED him, so I wouldn't complain if he came back, either.
I'm starting to sound like I just want the closing cast to come back, aren't I? Haha.
If not Kevin as Marius, though, I would lovelovelove the chance to see Daniel Torres in the role. I think he'd be amazing.
As for the others, I'm not sure, but I'd love to see Lea Salonga as Fantine.

Posted: 2/17/06 at 6:10pmI second Kuhn for Fantine. Granted, she's amazing in whatever she does.

Javert- Terrence Mann (or James Barbour but at that time I hope he plays Sydney Carton in TTC)
Marius- Raul Esparza
That's all the ideas I have for now.......
If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....
Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

Posted: 2/17/06 at 6:16pmJust because Julia's doing Wicked doesn't mean we can't all wish she'd be cast as Fantine.
