I saw Brian Stokes Mitchell as Javert in the Hollywood Bowl production. He was excellent. I enjoyed the whole thing and (I mean this NOT as a slight) would've loved to have seen everyone in that in a full-fledged production with more rehearsal time.
If we're going with people who've never done the show before, I'd love to see what Denée Benton would be like as Fantine. Ditto Raymond Lee as Thénardier.

When I saw the staged concert in a movie theatre in 2019 (I think the one in Chelsea), some people behind me said Rob Houchen reminded them of Lucas Steele! I totally see it now, but hadn't until they said so.
