All unknowns.

LES MISERABLES

Valjean: Colm Wilkinson
Javert: Philip Quast
Thenardier: Barry James
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...

40Oz...obviously this is all purely hypothetical, but isn't Olga Katerina usually played by a much older woman? Like, 60+?

True. 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.

That's interesting. I actually kind of like the idea. Thanks for clarifying your rationale!
