Here's my picks:
Valjean- Hugh Jackman (Ramin Karmiloo is more likely)
Javert- Brian Stokes Mitchell/James Barbour
Fantine- Stephanie J. Block/Sutton Foster
Eponine- Anneliese Van Der Pol/Caissie Levy
Cosette- Sierra Boggess/Laura Osnes
Marius- Kyle Dean Massey
Thenardier- James Corden
Madame Thenardier- Da'Vine Joy Randolph
Enjolras- Jeremy Jordan

Valjean -- Alfie Boe
Javert -- Andrew Varela
These are my top choices for those roles Not familiar enough with those on Broadway now to make a suggestion for the rest, but I do think Stephanie J. Block would be good as Fantine. Would love to see Samantha Barks gets a chance on Broadway.

Foster has kind of outgrown Fantine on stage, it just isn't a big role and the show is not a hot, buzzy property like it was when LuPone signed up for it back in the 80s. After THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD I feel like Block is in a similar situation, though she might relish the chance to play the role in a high profile revival for 6 months. I'd love to see someone like Erin Davie as Fantine, even if she's not a big belter.
Barks should try to establish a career away from this show, she must have other roles she can play.

Not sure if this would be a step backwards for her but Jessie Mueller for Cossette, Fantine, or Eponine?

Posted: 2/19/13 at 4:07pmDo you think they might use any of the current touring cast? They aren't big names, but I quite enjoyed the tour when I saw it a few months back, particularly Andrew Varela as Javert and Jason Forbach as Enjolras (Joseph Spieldenner makes a good Grantaire too, in the category of smaller roles). It would be amusing if Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess were Valjean and Fantine; and they'd be good I think.

I actually came up with this cast months ago when I was home alone one night...alcohol was involved in most of these choices, I have to admit.
#19I don't want to play this game....
Posted: 2/19/13 at 6:43pmYou drink *and* dream cast Broadway shows? Impressive.
#20I don't want to play this game....
Posted: 2/19/13 at 6:44pmKudisch MUST play Javert. There's just no other option.
#21I don't want to play this game....
Posted: 2/19/13 at 6:48pmThe Kudisch can play in my bed...nevermind him being Javert!

I was going to suggest Andrea Martin for Madame T, but Finneran would be good too.
Should we consider it a foregone conclusion that Lilla Crawford will be Young Cosette?
#23I don't want to play this game....
Posted: 2/19/13 at 6:55pm
Finneran as Madame Thenadier and Crawford as Cosette.
Hmmm...where have I seen this show before?
#24I don't want to play this game....
Posted: 2/19/13 at 6:59pmI think Lilla is too big to play YC now, let alone play the role next year when she'll be close to 13. Isn't YC supposed to be around 8 or 9? Emily Rosenfeld would be perfect as YC, she's almost 9, already really tiny, and could stay with the show for a while.
