Honestly-Anthony warlow as all the male parts (if I could use the (way back) machine and make him age appropriate for them all).
Then
Lea -eponine
ruthie-fantine
judy kuhn -cossette

Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?

Is it really fair to say Eden E. for Eponine when she has never played the part? The closest she's come is singing On My Own once for a radio program, I believe.

Yeah, if there are plenty of other people in this thread (including the OP) mentioning actors who've never been in the show...

People can put anyone they want in their casts.

And anyways, Eden Espinosa was actually auditioning for Eponine/ Cosette before offered the part of Fantine in the revival.

Kristin Chenoweth as Mme. Thenardier would be amazing!

Brian Stokes Mitchell- he is so great, but for some reason I see him as more of Javert because of his build.

Yah, I was actually thinking of putting him as Javert, but I thought it would be interesting to see his Valjean. Plus, Audra McDonald would be more likely to accept him as her father due to race.

Edit: I've seen Les Miz 3 times, I know he isn't her real father, but she accpets that he untill she reads his letter during the last scene. If he was a different race, how would she believe that they are related?

defyinggravity - do you mean audra's character would accept him more as a father? Because valjean isn't really Cosette's father.

And as long as we keep Aaron lazar you can cast whoever you want.

Oh wait! I love Jenny Powers and she needs to come back and do something. She could do Fantine or Cosette.

Plus, Audra McDonald would be more likely to accept him as her father due to race.

I've seen Les Miz 3 times, I know he isn't her real father, but she accpets that he untill she reads his letter during the last scene. If he was a different race, how would she believe that they are related? The show would end in the middle of the first act when she realizes that he could not possibly be her father.
