Ok, finally I have a casting-wish: I would like to hear Maria Friedman sing Jane Eyre: I got the recording a couple of days ago, and I'm already deep in love with it!! **edited to correct poor Maria's name... Please forgive me!!

ill put a role where i have a preferance or mad idea
We Will Rock You: Galileo - Peter Johanson (current london) Scaramouche - Hannah Jane Fox (original london) Killer Queen - Mazz Murray (current london) Khashoggi - Micheal Crawford (now this would be good) Britney - Colin Charles (current london) Meat - Jenna Lee James (currently playing scaramouche in london, but was previously meat) Pop - Nigel Planer (original london)/ MiG Ayesa (who played the role as an understudy for NP)
Phantom: Phantom - Earl Carpenter/ Micheal Crawford Christine - Racheal Barrel/ Claire Moore Raoul - Clive Cater (played this role in his career, i can only imagine how brilliant he was) M. Firmin - John Clease (bloody histerical) M. Andrea - Rowan Atkinson (teamed with John Clease, i do have an imagination) Carlotta - Claire Moore (when not playing christine)/ Jenny Galloway Meg - Kerry Ellis
Les Miserables: Fantine - Kerry Ellis (i know i have her in phantom, but this is dreaming yea?!) Valjean - John Owen Jones/ Earl Carpenter (he could alternate with phantom) Javert - Clive Carter (same comments as phantom, plus same comments re dreaming and double casting) Mme Thenadier - Jenny Galloway (when not playing Carlotta ;-)) Thenadier - Barry James Marius - Micheal Ball Eponine - Shonagh Daly

I don't know what musical it would be but... i think that it would be interesting to see a show with Idina Menzel, Lea Salonga, Sutton Foster, Norbert Leo Butts, Andy Meeks and Adam Jacobs in one cast. They all have completely different styles of singing and i think it would be interesting to see how they compliment each other. Some of them are similar but thats besides the point.. you could actually pair them off and create a pretty interesting show. Ohhh interesting. I would throw Sherie Renee Scott into the mix too, and Hunter Foster. And maybe Marissa Jaret Winokur. Oh and Kerry Butler.

Phantom Film:- Michael Crawford: Phantom Sarah Brightman: Christine Justin Timberlake: Raoul Rowan Atkinson: Andre Lea Salonga: Meg Glenn Close: Carlotta While Lea Salonga would make a good Meg on stage, I think on screen she would look really our of place alongside the French\English people. And Justin Timberlake has the range of a pencil sharpener, plus he isn't trained (if he is trained at all) in the classical and\or musical theatre style that Raoul requires.

Other than that, God knows if he can even act. And pop singers should seriously leave musical theatre alone, and let the people who are trained in the area do justice to musicals. And also, I do not think that Glenn Close has the type of voice required to pull off Carlotta.

I hate it when pop singers and starlettes are casted in musicals just because they are "famous".... And like they don't make enough money already, while hundreds of talented and well-trained artists who are how many million times better and who had spent how many years and how much money in performing schools have to wait on tables to make a living while waiting for a callback...
