Thought this would be quite interesting. I personally would love to see Oli Tompsett as Link Larkin, Louise Dearman as Elphaba or possibly Glinda, Leanne Jones as Eponine and while I'm at it - Ben james ellis as Fyero or something similar.

I'd pay vast amounts of money to revisit the 2004 production of 'Journey's End' at the Comedy Theatre, because it's an amazing play and I'd kill to see Geoffrey Streatfeild as Stanhope. Hell, right now I'd kill to see Geoffrey Streatfeild as anything. It's almost entirely his fault I'm a Shakespeare fan now, and I find it very upsetting that he seems to be resting now that the Histories Cycle is over.

He gave a talk at my uni about the Histories Cycle soon after they ended, it was really interesting. I have to admit, I thought of you at the time.
He used to call me — Blue Roses.

Oooh I can think of so many 
I'd like to see Darren Carnall or Richard Roe as Link Larkin as I think they're both amazing dancers. Perhaps Lee Mead or Joseph Connor as Fiyero. James Byng, too short probably but because of the emotion he put into his songs and acting when I saw him in LOTR, I'd kill for him to play the Phantom one day. James Bisp as Jack in Into the Woods because he was so sweet and has an utterly gorgeous voice. Greg Bradley as Jekyll or a lead in WWRY because he's got such a powerful voice.
Hm...looking at that, mostly I'd like to see understudies/ensemble members I've thought were amazing, in my favourite lead parts lol

James Bisp... do you know, I think I've been in a show or two with him! The name sounds terrifically familiar, and the photos don't look too unfamiliar either. Would anyone happen to know if he's done any performing in High Wycombe?

1) Lucy Williamson as 'CC Bloom' if they ever brought out Beaches the film, as a musical!!!! (Also would love to see her play Ellen in Saigon or KQ in WWRY.)
2) Alexander Evans as Chris in Saigon or Enjolras in Les Mis.

I would love to see some new names in London and get some fresh talent back. Where have the casts gone that were in shows like the original 42nd street, Me & my girl, etc....
Now, they were performers that knew how to entertain and sing, not just warble out a song!
