Has anyone heard anything about who might be coming in to replace Swenson?

Andrew Varela has already tweeted that he won't be doing it.

Could Earl Carpenter be a possible candidate... especially after just doing the show in Toronto with some of this cast (including Ramin).

I don't understand this production's aversion to Andrew Varela, who was by far the best Javert I've ever seen.

Cameron Mackintosh doesn't know how to cast. That's the only real explanation I have.

He seemed to do mostly okay for the first 20 years.

Earl Carpenter was excellent in the Toronto production.

Agreed...
It's time to bring in Alfie Boe and let Ramin Play Javert!

I'm surprised there hasn't been any announcement yet... considering whoever is replacing Swenson will be starting performances in about 2 weeks.

Not everything gets an announcement. Its not like Swenson's name is the selling point
