olly	The Ideal, Superlative Cast Hello, Im sure that this topic has been spread over many many threads, however would like to bring them into one. I would just be very interested to know, if you had a choice to put together your favorite cast so they could perform in London (Or wherever you live), what would it be? Mine would probably go like this: Jean Valjean - Colm Wilkinson / JOJ Javert - Philip Quast Fantine - Debbie Byrne Marius - Michael Ball Cosette - Tracey Shayne Enjolras - Anthony Warlow MMe T - Jenny Galloway Thenardier - Barry James Eponine - Kaho Shimada
Orestes Fasting	Ditto the Tenth Anniversary Concert cast completely, except Anthony Warlow instead of Michael Maguire, Rebecca Caine instead of Judy Kuhn, and Frances Ruffelle instead of Lea Salonga. Oh, and replace the "You at the barricade, listen to this" guy with whoever sang it on the OLC.
digitalxdoll	Jean Valjean - Colm Wilkinson/Randal Keith (though i haven't seen him because i live in London, i love his voice)/ John Owen Jones Javert - Michael Mccarthy/Phillip Quast Fantine - Joanna Ampil Marius - Michael Ball << i would rather it be someone else, but i can't think who right now. Enjolras - Ramin Karminloo Eponine - Frances Ruffelle Cosette - Lydia Griffiths Mme Thenardier - Katy Secombe Thenardier - Alun Armstrong
Moci	This is a plea for this to be the last topic about ideal casts for Les Mis. Ever. Or I'm gonna scream. Anyway: Valjean: Jeff Leyton Javert: Philip Quast Fantine: Carmen Cusack Marius: Niklas Andersson Enjolras: Warlow, if it was just a concert thingy, if it had to be the age, I'll say Ramin Karimloo, as enough people seem to like him. I've not seen him. Eponine: Lea Salonga, if age didn't matter, if it did, Sophia Ragavelas Cosette: Lydia Griffiths Thenardier: Stephen Tate Mme T: Claire Moore, I've not seen her yet, but the woman can do anything.

I reckon that any others that are created after this one should be utilised to discuss other more interesting subjects than favourite casts... like broccoli, irregular verbs in different languages and socks.
Emperor of the Fiends	Unrelated questions nevermind. I meant to post this as a new topic
flying_pigs	Valjean- Colm Wilkinson Javert- Philip Quast or Michael McCarthy, I saw him and he was just amazing! Fantine- Ruthie Henshall Marius- Michael Ball, other people may not like him as much but I really do! Eponine- Frances Ruffelle, I just think she captures the street Eponine feel! Enjolras- Tough choice, but as I actually saw Oliver Thornton I'll say him! Cosette- Tracy Shayne Th�nardier- Alun Armstrong Mme Th�nardier- Katy Secombe and just an end note, I love Anthony Crivello as Grantaire, he has such a lovely voice!
The Very Angry Woman	How many of you have actually seen, in the context of the show, any of these performers live?

Thenardier: Jennifer Butt Thenardier: David Benoit Gavroche: Patrick Stogner Enjolras: Dallyn Vail Bayles Marius: Tim Howar Eponine: Celia Keenan-Bolger Cosette: Regan Thiel or Sandra Turley Grantaire: Christopher Mark Peterson Courfeyrac: Ron Sharpe Combefere: David McDonald Joly: Edward Juvier Feuilly: Ben Davis Hrm ...

Broccoli! Yes! Where's Aimee? here!! mmmmm brocolli!! Jeff Leyton number 1 Valjean The rest I'll have to think about.
Sairin	Can we have a pinned one of these topics please? I think I'm developing RSI from writing out my ideal cast so many times...
Quique	Cast? Heehee, well my ideal cast changes all the time, so it's cool to have this pop-up every now and then. I'll post mine a bit later, have to think about it.
Sairin	Irregular verbs in different languages, says you? Ser soy eres es I forgot the rest and can't be bothered to find my Spanish textbook On a slightly more serious note, I'm never sure when to use ser and when to use estar, can anyone fill me in?

Ser soy eres es I forgot the rest and can't be bothered to find my Spanish textbook On a slightly more serious note, I'm never sure when to use ser and when to use estar, can anyone fill me in? Soy Somos Eres Estais/Estan (the latter is more formal) Es Estan As a basic rule of thumb, 'ser' implies permanance while 'estar' is more temporary: Soy estadounidense Estoy sentada
Quique	Yikes! Ser: He/she is to be (El/ella va ser), you are to be (tu seras), how can it be? (como puede ser?), it can't be! (No puede ser!). "Ser" generally addresses an individual. Estar: He/she is going to be (El/ella va estar) YIKES! "Up-in-arms!!!" Now, I'm confused! Where's J.P. when you need him?

olly	going by the description, I'm guessing he has looked it up. However, I am probably mistaken

"Ser" generally addresses an individual. Estar: He/she is going to be (El/ella va estar) Since when was that the case? Am I really that off? The funny thing is, I'm a fluent Spanish speaker but I learned it by ear from growing-up around it. I guess when you learn it that way, it just comes naturally. But when it comes to the rules and all, I suck at it like you won't believe. How embarassing

Granted I'm not a native speaker, but I've never come across anything to suggest the aforementioned rule was incorrect.
Quique	Yikes!
