my dream cast: Jean Valjean - Gary Morris Javert - Philip Quast Fantine - Ruthie Henshall Thernardier - Matt Lucas or Alun Armstrong Mme Thernardier - Jenny Galloway Marius - Michael Ball or Nick Jonas Cosette - Katie Hall Eponine - Samantha Barks Enjolras - Michael Maguire or Ramin Karimloo im on the fence with a few :P
@TLKthing3 best cast would be valjean joj javert earl carpenter cosette katia hall eponine chasten harmon or samantha barks marius michael ball thenardier ashley artus enjorlas ramin karimloo
For a new Symphonic Cast Recording: Valjean- John Owen Jones Javert-Philip Quast Fantine-Kerry Ellis Cosette-Leanne Dobinson Eponine-Lea Michele Thenardier-Gary Beach Madame-Jenny Galloway Marius-Jon Robyns Enjolras-Ramin Karimloo or David Thaxton
This performance seems a touch out of tune to me. It could be the recording quality, but it got back in tune when they sang: "Tomarrow we'll discover what our God in heaven has in store". Anyone else hear it?
the runnign rumor is that in that part its acutalyl a recording that comes in because if you lsiten to every version of this from the revival it alwasy soudns teh same and i'm sorry as a performer i know that it will never sound like that 100% of the time in 20 different videos
@Fiyero06 idk about that...i am also a musician who works in musical theater and i noticed that while alot of the vocals may sound the same, the rhythms in all the videos are completly different. Things like tempo and pauses vary in every performance...for example this was the first time ive heard the longer pause between the last "day" and "more"...you could be right but there alot of rhythmic variations between the videos
That would be John Owen-Jones and if anyone is intrested is about to do the 25th anniversery tour in the UK (wish I could see him but it's pretty much sold out)
that was supposed to be a reply for down there when you were talking about a new symphonic recording..and you wrote Enjolras= TBD ..i meant it should be Aaron Lazar
For me if there were a new Sumphonic Cast Recording it would have to be Valjean-Randal Keith OR Oystein Wiik (from Oslo/London) Javert-Philip Quast Fantine-Judy Kuhn Cosette-I'm not sure of her name but she's Cosette on this recording actually. Eponine-Megan McGinnis Thenardier-Gary Beach (duh haha) Madame-Jenny Galloway Marius-Adam Jacobs Enjolras-Anthony Warlow (I know he's older now but I dont really care) Grantaire- Drew Sarcich
because the show has changed alot since 1988 music and lyric wise and everyone except for Marius, Enjolras and Javert and the Thenardiers on the Original Intenational cast CD were horrible

@TLKthing3 Who would you get for Fantine?
Monkeyballmania 11 months ago
@Monkeyballmania I'm not sure... I love Lea Salonga, but her Fantine was not her best performance imo.
I don't like the role of Fantine at all because there are so many actresses who belt too much.

Eponine: Celia Keenan Bolger
Enjolras: David Bardsley
Cosette: Rebecca Caine or Judy Kuhn
and the song "I Saw Him Once" has to be reinstated.
PHANTOMfan08 3 years ago
Hmm nah.
Eponine:From The 2004 berlin production
Marius- from the 2008 Netherlands production
Enjolras- From the 2004 Berlin production
nah "I saw him once" is just a strange song and doesnt really make any sense
Fiyero06 3 years ago
it would Cosette more of a role.
PHANTOMfan08 3 years ago

I don't know for sure, but I would agree. It certainly sounds like it!

Highly Unlikely. It could simply be because of the way the line is sung that it always sounds the same.
