Alright, so with the news of a movie possibly happening, we all need to be prepared for the roles to be recast. It’s not to say that Jorge and the other original performers were not good, because they were all excellent. But animation or live action, Hollywood is still Hollywood. So what is, in your opinion, the best case scenario for a new cast?
Personally, given that the movie will be animated, I think it would be great if they took the same approach as Hazbin Hotel and got a who’s who of musical theatre to play the parts. We know that they can certainly pull the songs off. And because it’s animated, there’s not the same demand for bigger names as a live action movie would be. Celebrities are fun, but most of them are not vocalists in the way a musical requires.
The other option I would like to see would be professional voice actors. I mean, pros like voice work is all they do. In my view, they don’t get nearly enough respect for their hard work. It’s only been the advances in animation technology and motion capture that has brought proper attention to them, now that they can give full performances instead of sitting in a recording booth.
