LES MISERABLES
Valjean: Colm Wilkinson
Javert: Philip Quast

Marius: Michael Ball
The others... Um... I have to admit... I have seen it a so many times with so many casts.
Dianna Kaarina was a great Eponine, my FAVORITE female character. I just can't say WHO should play her in my Dream Cast.
Enjolras is favorite male role, perhaps Anthony Warlow is/was the best... but I never saw him live, I only know him from his vocal performance on the Symphonic recording...

Posted: 9/5/11 at 10:11pm40Oz...obviously this is all purely hypothetical, but isn't Olga Katerina usually played by a much older woman? Like, 60+?
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 9/6/11 at 3:29amTrue. But I saw a Geffen Playhouse production in Los Angeles directed by Randall Arney and she [Olga] was played by an actress in her mid 30's. Always kind of stuck with me. But yes, you are correct AC.

Posted: 9/6/11 at 7:35amThat's interesting. I actually kind of like the idea. Thanks for clarifying your rationale!
