I doubt if someone like Laura Osnes would even take on the role of Cosette at this point in her career after having performed the leads in BONNIE & CLYDE, GREASE, SOUTH PACIFIC, CINDERELLA and a quite sizeable supporting role in the classic, ANYTHING GOES. To do so seems like a step down to me.

Eponine- Lea Michelle (This is her dream role, and she'd be spectacular

No it's not. Fanny Brice in FUNNY GIRL is her "dream role". She did "Eponine" at the Hollywood Bowl. So she already fulfilled that "dream". Enough is enough with that.

CarlosAlberto, I agree with you about Osnes, but alas, a girl can dream.

Valjean: Alfie Boe
Javert: Norm Lewis
Eponine: Samantha Barks
Fantine: S.B. OBVIOUSLY
I would be happy to see Aaron Tveit play either Marius or Enjoras. I will cry and shun Broadway if Lea Michelle gets her grubby hands anywhere near this revival.

Does Jason Danieley have a high enough range to play Valjean? Something about him always made me curious whether or not he would be a decent Valjean.

And although it will probably be the cause of death for many people on these boards because they would hate the idea, Menzel for Fantine would be fantastic IMO. But...she is getting a bit too old at this point and I don't know if she would come back to do a revival.
Julia Murney would also be superb.

"If Melissa O'Neil, who will play Eponine in the Toronto revival, gets good reviews I'd like to see her play the role in the Broadway revival."

Is this the same Melissa O'Neil that won Canadian Idol?

I would love to see Donna Vivino cast as Fantine after playing Young Cosette in the OBC. Would love to see Kristine Reese as Cosette also.

Alfie Boe! This casting would be amazing.

I'd like to see Ramin move on to something else and explore some range. Same with Sierra.

I always thought the Thenardiers were supposed to be dark humour, more on the edge of scary. I love Jackie Hoffman, and would even like to see Susan Blackwell as Mme, but maybe they (definitely Jackie) are too farcial.

In all honesty, I'd like to see a cast of talent we haven't see yet.

"Is this the same Melissa O'Neil that won Canadian Idol?"

I know this post is a little old, but yes it is. That is part of the reason why I am am excited about this casting choice.

"Canadian Idol winner Melissa O’Neil as Eponine"


It’s Official! Ramin Karimloo, Melissa O’Neil & More Will Head to the Barricades in Toronto’s Les Miserables

I'd buy a ticket to see Carly Rose Sonenclar as Eponine.

I think a lot of the Fantines in this thread are a wee bit young.

Norbert Leo Butz as Javert?-it would be like watching Danny de Vito channeling Mickey Rooney--does that man ever stand still??
