#Earl Carpenter was considered for Cyrano as well since he played Javert around the same time

Tentative partial 25th Anniversary cast for the Fake Cyrano Musical (yeah, I never forgot, bitches):
Cyrano: Norm Lewis
Roxanne: Lea Salonga
Christian: Hadley Fraser
Le Bret: Thomas Borchert (although honestly, he and Lewis could do either part)
Comte de Guiche: Terrence Mann, reprising his role from the original production

#I might keep the Cyrano and Le Bret casting because I had the idea--inspired by hearing Borchert sing 'Bring Him Home'--#of having Le Bret lead most of the cadets' reminiscence song at Arras after Cyrano tells the piper to play.#And after re-listening to his 'Music of the Night' the idea of Lewis doing the balcony scene makes my heart flutter. <3#Killian Donnelly was also considered as a possible Christian--maybe he could come in as an understudy.#Earl Carpenter was considered for Cyrano as well since he played Javert around the same time#and I still use Javerts as my measuring stick for good Cyrano voices.#And I considered letting Mann have a crack at Cyrano but... damn it he's just too perfect as de Guiche. XD#the fake cyrano musical#the schemer speaks#I still think this is one of the best ideas Jemi and I ever had if I do say so myself--this deserves to be a real musical. XD
