Desiree: Meryl Streep (there's no one better)
Fredrik: Kevin Kline (this is indeed an inspired choice, and need I say more about chemistry with Meryl?)
Anne: Jayne Wisener (Johanna from the movie of Sweeney Todd -- unlike the guy who played Anthony, she's good and they cut her part way down in Sweeney; Hathaway is too old)
Carl-Magnus: Victor Garber (Hugh Jackman is too young)
Charlotte: Bernadette Peters
Henrik: Jake Gyllenhaal (clean-shaven and made up to look 19) or unknown
Petra: powerhouse unknown
Butler Fryd: Me
I really like the idea of having Broadway stars play the chorus (I'd take Rebecca Luker, Kristin Chenoweth, Mandy Patinkin, Terrence Mann, and Barbara Walsh).
