Some New Casting Thoughts, For Josh And Ruthie, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                                                                    

                                While everyone is mulling over "Gypsy," girls, here is a new casting thought to think about.


                                  Both Josh Groban and Ruthie Ann Miles walked off with the last revival of "Sweeney Todd."  They were nominated for TONY Awards, which they deserved to win but didn't.  Now, Ruthie already has a TONY to call her own, but I wouldn't mind if she got another, and Josh is long overdue.


                                    So, here is my thinking.  "Les Misérables" has not been on Broadway, since 2016. That is almost ten years.  Based on the strength and heartbreak Josh and Ruthie both brought to their roles int the Sondheim show, I think they would be perfect for Jean Valjean and Fantine in a future revival of "Les Misérables.


                                      I can just hear Josh singing "Bring Him Home," and Ruthie "I Dreamed A Dream" right now.  Audiences would be devastated emotionally, and they would clamor to see these two.


                                       So, while "Gypsy" is still trying to get on its unbalanced feet, think about this future revival and imagine how good it would be.



                                          I can't wait, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Can you?????????????????????
