He really should be he has had enough practice and none of us could see him going the same track for a 4th year. They better not be stunt casting this. With that rumour floating around about the Marius. 100% no stunt cast Valjean. Proper musical theatre performer who hasn't done the role before. Will hopefully be announced very soon. Hmmmm... interesting. I have guessed on my twitter someone (other than Bayj.) If I am right I'll post my tweet. To be fare I am slightly more worried about the Marius because that was the rumour posted on MTAS via people in theatre cafe. I really hope they announce soon... Patience is not my virtue I tell you 😂

God I hope they announce this cast change soon. It was supposed to happen today but usually these things happen in the morning so not sure if it's been postponed. Must be soon though. The new cast starts rehearsals on Monday.

Yes to Dean as JVJ! I didn't actually think that would happen. Interested to see Bradley as Javert, he was a great Enjolras.

God I hope they announce this cast change soon. Ask and you shall receive. Bradley Jaden as Javert?! Did not see that coming! Nice to see Steven and Carley staying, they're two of the standouts. I'm more interested in the tour cast at this point.

Finally! :-) Couldn’t be happier for Dean. I’m biased but I honestly think he will be an absolutely brilliant Valjean.

I think Bradley Jaden will make a great Javert. I've only previously seen him in Les Mis, and loved his voice as Enjolras - definitely think it's powerful enough for Javert, with the acting chops to match. Did he ever perform the role of Valjean in front of an audience? I remember seeing pics of him rehearsing cover runs, but don't know if he ever went on.

He did go on as Valjean, only a handful of times but a big enough handful that there is an audio on tumblr somewhere.
Very excited to see him as Javert he has the stage presence for it. I really cannot wait to see him opposite Adam Bayjou as Valjean, I've always wanted them to duet and now I'll see them antagonise eachother in a show

His singing would scare Crowe! My clue was clearly slightly *too* cryptic! Scare Crowe...scarecrow...Fiyero...Bradley Jaden...?

I've always wanted to see Adam as JVJ, although he isn't advertised as an alternative, am I right in saying he does do one show a week? If so does anyone know which it normally is.

Right now it's a Monday evening, but this could change with the change of Valjean because when Peter Lockyer was Valjean he did Wednesday matinees. I'd just keep an eye on West End Covers after cast change.

I'm more excited for Vivien Parry than for the other new castings! Loved her in Top Hat and Half a Sixpence. Will be interesting to see a Cosette that isn't Caucasian.

Wasn't impressed with her as Lauren in Kinky Boots. Wonder if she will be better in this.

Vivien Parry will be fantastic as Mme Thenardier! Saw her recently in Twelfth Night in Stratford. She's a really wonderful actress and it will be great to see her alongside Steven Meo. Two Welshies together! They'll be hilarious. Great news!!!

It says further casting to be announced but looks like Enjolras is the only one not confirmed?

This was a show in my "been once, don't think I'll go again" category but will definitely return now to see Dean and Bradley.

No Enj announcment then which means either big name or they haven't found a Enj yet? Can anyone find out who Andrew York is I have googled and googled and NOTHING. Ciaran Joyce is no longer Marius cover Ben Tyler is 1st an ld James Nicholson is 2nd. Also the new Grantaire Raymond Walsh is 1st Cover Thenardier which means James Hume has gone from being 1st Mr T.

You’ll be in for a treat with Bradley as Javert. Thought he was a very good Fiyero.

I think Andrew York is the new Enjolras. He has an Instagram page which seems to suggest he is.
