@riddick13 Hi! You’ve once again managed to message me about this when I’m actually writing notes for my script! I admit some of these people I either don’t know much about or even don’t know at all so I’m taking a few minutes to go look them up 
So I already commented last time on Brian Blessed as Bustopher, Luke Evans and Munk, Tom Holland as Misto, and David Tennant as Skimble, and I’m glad you agree about Ken Page as Deuteronomy and Russell Brand as Mungo *^*
 I’m just gonna run through the other characters that I simply agree with, can definitely imagine it, sounds great in my head, I just don’t have any other comments beyond that: Alonzo, Bombalurina, Cassandra, Demeter, Electra, Etcetera, Griddlebone, Growltiger, Jellylorum, Macavity, Plato and Tantomile
I gasped when you said Noel Fielding for Coricopat! I absolutely love Noel and he could totally capture both his soft, mysterious side and his more... kitten-ish side. I think that’s also convinced me that Russell should be Mungo, just because I’d love a Goth Detectives reunion, and with them both playing the brothers of the twin pairs! And Julie Andrews as Grizabella!!! Absolutely genius!!! I know she doesn’t really sing anymore but we can dream!!!! Or someone else could always be Griza’s singing voice... But Julie has the perfect quality to her voice, and I do much prefer an older actress playing Grizabella. Leslie Odom Jr. as Tugger would sound so good but I have to say, I have no idea how he’d do with an English accent
I do think Andy Serkis would be great as Growltiger if he were his own character, but he is supposed to be a character played by Gus, at least going off the original musical. The way I’m planning my script project, using an idea from @theimpossiblescheme, it would actually be Asparagus Jr performing Growltiger’s part and I’m not sure Andy Serkis is quite right for how I’m imagining him, I’ll have to find someone... Also I would want Gus himself to sound more frail so idk if I could see Bill Nighy but that depends on how you want him to sound...? I’m also doing something different with Griddlebone’s character but the voice still suits her regardless
I have some mixed feelings about Francesca Hayward as Jemima, she does have such a beautiful voice that really suits the character, but I think I’d prefer someone a bit younger playing her. I imagine her with a teenaged voice tbh. Pouncival and Tumblebrutus sound younger in my head, too... And I headcanon Victoria as deaf and mute so I don’t have a dream cast for her and it feels a little weird to me to try and fit a voice to her at all so I don’t really have any comment there >.<
Clinging to Emma Thompson as Jennyanydots *^*
I’m completely agreeing with you on a lot of these, and the rest might not be my choice but I can definitely see where you’re coming from~! I’ll try and put my own list together at some point!! Thanks for sharing yours! ^^/
And I’m open to any suggestions for mine...!
