I am so thrilled, being a ENORMOUS fan of the 10th anniversary production. I posted awhile back about some of the cast. Well, while the casting is not done, all the main characters are cast, and here
they are:

So, you may be thinking, they can SING?! But be assured, most all the cast can (I am not sure about Sacha Cohen or Russell Crowe - at least, worthy Les Mis style), and I will post videos with their performances.
* Well Sam Barks. It is a great relief she was cast. It had been rumored and practically confirmed that Taylor Swift had snagged Eponine for herself. But when I was googling it, believe me, I shrieked with joy that Sam had been cast. Sam was Eponine in the 25th Anniversary Concert, along with Nick Jonas and Alfie Boe.
Then Colm Wilkinson. Never have been so excited for the first 5 minutes of a movie my entire life. Colm was the 10th Anniversary Jean Valjean, and he is AMAZING.
Frances Ruffelle, for those who do not know, was the original Eponine ever. She was the one who created the part, in fact. I am not a fan of her voice, though, so Lea Salonga and Sam are good for me.
I am personally very excited about this production, and just praying it's not somehow brought up to an R rating. Which is possible, depending on that 3 minute song, how far they decide to go.
Well ADIEU! and here are the videos.
There are a few. Though, in the Anne Hathaway clip, she says a swear word. Sorry.
