I'm more excited for Vivien Parry than for the other new castings! Loved her in Top Hat and Half a Sixpence. Will be interesting to see a Cosette that isn't Caucasian.

Wasn't impressed with her as Lauren in Kinky Boots. Wonder if she will be better in this. |

Vivien Parry will be fantastic as Mme Thenardier! Saw her recently in Twelfth Night in Stratford. She's a really wonderful actress and it will be great to see her alongside Steven Meo. Two Welshies together! They'll be hilarious. Great news!!!

I've always wanted to see Adam as JVJ, although he isn't advertised as an alternative, am I right in saying he does do one show a week? If so does anyone know which it normally is. It’ll be Monday evening. Dean is doing the show on June 11th though (he will have another day off that week). |

It says further casting to be announced but looks like Enjolras is the only one not confirmed?

This was a show in my "been once, don't think I'll go again" category but will definitely return now to see Dean and Bradley.

No Enj announcment then which means either big name or they haven't found a Enj yet?  Can anyone find out who Andrew York is I have googled and googled and NOTHING. Ciaran Joyce is no longer Marius cover Ben Tyler is 1st an ld James Nicholson is 2nd. Also the new Grantaire Raymond Walsh is 1st Cover Thenardier which means James Hume has gone from being 1st Mr T. |

You’ll be in for a treat with Bradley as Javert. Thought he was a very good Fiyero.

I think Andrew York is the new Enjolras. He has an Instagram page which seems to suggest he is. |

I'm so pleased they've finally cast a black girl as Cosette, only took them 33 years!

I think Andrew York is the new Enjolras. He has an Instagram page which seems to suggest he is. Would they not announced him though? The instagram was from the concert for Royal Academy of Music the other week I think the tag was just the guy who was Enjolras was in the outfit. I found him on twitter and his spotlight page eventually. It says he is a bass baritone he might be Bishop. I think they are swapping some tracks around. Also found out Ciaran Bowling is going to be 1st cover Bamatabois I am flaming ecstatic about that. So glad he is staying. |

The fact he used the hashtag Enjolras on this post was what made me think it could be him. Guess we will find out soon if rehearsals start on Monday. |

Enjolras and Eponine are my two favourite characters in the show, so long as they don't screw that casting up, I'm good. Elena was great in Kinky Boots so hopefully she's just as good in this!

My point is, good to see Arts Ed getting at least 5 of their recent graduates in to this production, showing that the school does exactly what it says on the tin.
Well done to all of them.
No representation for GSA amongst new cast members, unless I am mistaken, nor RCSSD, who also have a MT pathway. Not sure about Mountview.

Bradley Jaden, Jo Loxton, Anna McGarahan and new cast members James Nicholson & Raymond Walsh are all GSA, Antony Hansen and new cast member Barnaby Hughes are both Mountview, off the top of my head  |

Ah, thanks. Knew that some existing cast members were from GSA and Mountview, but wasn't sure about the newbies.

Just listened to two different audios of Karis' On My Own on YouTube, and, based on what people have said here, she is so much better than I expected. A different interpretation, quite angry, but definitely not 'bad' in my opinion.
