Ooooh, a mystery!

[tenlittlebullets]

Any of you Les Mis cast member know-it-alls happen to have a list of who replaced the actors of the OLC and when? I have a mystery bootleg which I have pinned down, with a bit of detective work, as being London 1986; the trouble is, though plenty of people are original cast members, a few are definitely NOT. So it would be really helpful to know who replaced Patti LuPone as Fantine, Michael Ball as Marius, Rebecca Caine as Cosette, David Burt as Enjolras, and Sue Jane Tanner as Mme Thénardier--and when. (I'm not sure about some of them being replacements, but might as well check.)

Speaking of marginally legal things, who wants a copy of baby's first bootleg? :D 6 December 2006, matinee, Broadway, full cast. Really overloaded, since it was taken second row with mic sensitivity on high, but it's the first audio I've managed to record decently and actually get transferred to my computer and tracked. I'll have better equipment when I go record it on the 24th with interesting understudies. ;)

Can't help with your mystery cast, but I'd love a copy of your first boot and definitely your new ones when you go again!

Mystery cast has been cleared up--a little bird told me. XD

I still need to get Act II onto the computer, but when I do I'll upload it for you.

I'm devoid of useful information as usual, but I would like a copy, if it's no trouble.

I can help you. But my list is on my other computer. A friend and I used all the listings from A Broadway annual and the lists compiled for The Barricade to put together a somewhat complete list of dates and approximate dates of cast changes in the professional US Les Mis companies from 1987 to about 2000. I can't remember if we did London but I think we might have.

I'll get back to you.

And from my memory of that recording. That's Simon Bowman as Marius (Chris on the Miss Saigon OLC). I'll check the others.

Si!

Love that recording because of Si. So much better as Marius than as Chris.

I'd love a copy if you're up for it. :)
Can't help with with the cast lists, though; I'm not great with that sort of thing.

(On a completely random note, do you know if Robert Hunt's been on as Javert yet?)

I'd love a copy of the bootleg as well! If it's not too much trouble. ")
