What do you think would be the cast of muppets. Cosette is the human.

Funny you should mention this, a friend of mine and I have been coming with ALL-Muppet casts for musical theater. We're thinking that if the Avenue Q writers were even able to propose "Kermit, Prince of Denmark," whose title alone speaks volumes, a TV series called "The Muppets Take Broadway" where they do two musicals a week wouldn't be bad.

I'll check with him re the Les Mis cast we came up with.

they need to actualy need to revovate a broadway theatre and rename it the Muppett theatre so they could have there own Broadway Revue and it could allso be a muppett museum.

Anyone remember the fabulous Animaniacs Les Mis parody "Les Miseranimals"? Yes, that's Bernadette Peters as Rita (and Runt)!

They also parodyed West Side story, also very funny, and i'm pretty sure they parodyed something else

I think they did Fiddler on The Roof and La Boheme parodies as well.

Also, My Fair Lady with "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face." I believe that was one of, if not THE, Jim Henson's first skit for TV.

Kermit would obviously be Valjean.

Hmmm....

Javert- Gonzo
Thenardiers- Statler and Waldorf!
Fantine- Miss Piggy
Gavroche- Rizzo
Marius- Scooter
Enjolras- Bean

Who could Fozzy play?

[wonderfulwizard11]

I would put Fozzie and Miss Piggy as the Thenardiers.

[adamgreer]

Do you really think the divine diva Miss Piggy would play Mme. Thenardier?

adamgreer, LOVE all of your choices!!! I would love to see this happen!

Ahh... I love West Side Pigeons! "She makes me feel feathery, oh so feathery."

Elmo as Gavroche?

I agree with most of your choices adamgreer. Here are the changes I would make:

Javert- Fozzie
Marius- Gonzo
Enjolras- Rizzo
Gavroche- Bean

I also think that Eponine should be the human. That way Cosette can be played by Camilla the Chicken.

I just don't see Fozzy playing a dramatic role. Everything he has been in he has always been the funny one. I can easilly see him as Thenardier.

How about Sam The Eagle for Javert?

[adamgreer]

Posted: 8/8/08 at 1:46pm

I love the idea of Camila as Cosette! Ditto for Sam Eagle as Javert!

Janice as Eponine - the cap is almost right!
