Jeff Kready is understudying Valjean.

Nikki Renee Daniels (Fantine)

I'm pretty sure Drew Sarich, Farah Alvin, and Megan Mcginnis will cover some roles...

Robert Hunt is covering Javert, but probably not Thénardier (although he has covered the latter in the past and was wonderful).

Daniel Bogart is covering Marius, no surprise there.

Marissa McGowan is likely covering Cosette and/or Eponine, although she didn't cover Cosette until her final month or two with the tour, when Leslie Henstock left and they promoted Ali Ewoldt.

Idara Victor is covering Cosette.

99% of the time, there only one person in Les Miz who understudies nobody. Everyone else covers one role, and sometimes two.

McGinnis could probably cover Cossette or Eponine, and I suspect she will.

Drew Sarich is bound to understudy the younger male roles. I'd imagine he'll cover Enjolras and maybe Marius.

With any luck the creative team will be sensible and put Sarich as understudy for each and every male role in the show.

I'm almost positive Sarich is the Enjolras u/s, but that's really just based off of my own personal opinion and who else is covering what..

Drew would make a spectacular Gavroche.

Whoever has been hired to cover Eponine I suppose has a decent change of being bumped up to full time if Lea Michele sticks with SPRING AWAKENING for Broadway, as I would expect she will.

I believe the cover breakdowns are these:
Eponine: Marissa McGowan, Megan McGinnis (possibly Becca Ayers)
Fantine: Haviland Stillwell, Nikki Renee Daniels
Cosette: Marya Grandy, Idara Victor
Mme T: Karen Elliott, Farah Alvin

For the men, the only one I'm certain of is James Chip Leonard (Thenardier cover).

James Chip Leonard is a wonderful Thénardier. :)

I wouldn't be surprised if Justin Bohon is covering Marius.

I would be utterly SHOCKED if Marya Grandy was a Cossette cover...

Maraya Grandy has to be covering Mlle. Thenardier...

Aren't Eponine and Cosette tradionally covered by the same two actresses? My bet would be Megan McGinnis and Marissa McGowan.

Becca Ayers is also more likely to be covering Fantine.

I think the women will go as follows:
Cosette...Idara Victor, Becca Ayers
Eponine...Megan McGinnis, Farah Alvin
Mme. Thenardier...Karen Elliot, Marya Grandy
Fantine...Nikki Rene Daniels, Haviland Stillwell

Marissa and Q. are both swings.

Becca Ayers is another I'd doubt to cover Cossette.

Haviland and Nikki Renee are Fantine u/s's.

Someone on the Lestat forum said Drew told her he'd be understudying Enjolras.

I think that Megan McGinnis would be a fabulous Cosette and a horrible Eponine.

I'm really glad to hear that Robert Hunt is covering Javert. I worked with him several years ago and he is without a doubt one of the most talented people I've ever seen on a stage. I hope he is able to perform the part a few times, and that I'm able to see him!

They sound as solid as the cast itself... Still not thrilled with Daphne as Fantine- never been a fan of hers- but I guess we'll see.

Yah, I am not a big fan either. A little confused by this casting choice.
