Revisiting an Old Thread/Funny IdeaHello everyone,
This is a followup to a thread that was on here a while ago. It's just something fun and good for a laugh. The list is a cast list of who would play what roles if the Muppets were to do Les Mis. I have added my own ideas and made the list more complete. Take it for what it is and know that they're all pretty much meant to be funny:
Jean Valjean- Fozzy
Javert- Sam the Eagle
Thenardiers- Statler and Waldorf (the old men with one in drag)
Marius- Kermit
Eponine- Miss Piggy
Gavroche- Rizzo
Enjolras- Gonzo
the Foreman- Animal
the Bishop- Bunson
the Nun- Beaker
the Pimp- the Spider
Cosette- the lady who played Belle in Muppet Christmas Carol (since I couldn't think of any other female Muppets)
Fantine- Janice
Thenardier�s gang- Electric Mayhem (minus Janice)
the Old Woman- Pepe (in drag)
And by the way, no, I have no life! LOL

Wow, too bad this actually isn't funny and is really just stupid.

I think it's a cute idea. If well executed it could be VERY funny. =) I would love to see it!

Um, Matt Henderson is not on that list because...?
And Rizzo is not Gavroche at ALL.

Ok I have to agree. Rizzo and Gavroche? Plus wouldn't Miss Piggy be more of a Cosette considering Cosette gets Marius?

Wow, I'm sorry if I offended anyone with this "stupid" idea. People thought it was a funny idea before. I was only thinking Rizzo for Gavroche because he's small and Miss Piggy's love is usually unrequited for Eponine (and that was something someone said before so I'm sorry again). It's just a joke, and it's not like I think it's a real idea. So much for theatre being open-minded and fun.

Belle was played by Meredith Braun, who actually has played Eponine onstage.

Since this has become so much more complicated than it should have, I think that I should say something. I don't mind if anyone disagrees with me on who should play what part. Some of the names on the list were just putting a character as a role to fill the role, not because it would be absolutely perfect. It's not like you can't disagree. I'm only trying to defend myself from insults like this:

If this is stupid, it's simple. Don't read it.

I think it's a great idea... though I think I would put Kermit as JVJ, just because Kermit always tends to be the central character in every Muppet movie... and I would have Piggy as Fantine. Scooter and Rolf should be in there, as well. And you can round out the cast with Fraggles, if need be!
I've also thought about how to cast the show using Simpsons characters (I'm sure this has also appeared on this forum before, but I'm not about to check on it).

Am I supposed to be psychic? I'd have to have read it to form an opinion.

I agree with Cosette being more like Miss Piggy than Eponine, though thinking of piggy singing OMO made me laugh!
Also, I think this idea was fab! wish i'd thought of it...actual pretty shocked i didn't 
And Aimee I saw that too! it was class! Gotta love the muppets...
