Emily Buss: Les Mis, of course! Best Enjolras yet!

Emily Goss: Absolutely Book of Mormon! He would be hysterical [as] Elder Price. I think a white shirt, book, and an MTC badge is in his future!
The Book of Mormon was another popular choice for Tveit, whose preppy good looks and wholesome charm would be well-suited to the role of Elder Price. And we know he could sing a great rendition of "I Believe."
Tveit sang a moving rendition of "If I Loved You" from Carousel at his 54 Below concert and told the audience the role of Billy Bigelow is one of his dream roles. Maybe his dream will come true sooner than expected!
Even though Judas tells Jesus, "I don't like what I see," audience members would love to see Tveit tackle the intensely complex role of Judas in the Andrew Lloyd Weber musical.
Playing the murderous barber obsessed with revenge would be a new challenge for Tveit. It would be interesting to see him take on a darker role and sing the challenging score by Sondheim. He'd also make a perfect Anthony!

Another popular choice among readers, the tribal rock love musical could provide a way for Tveit to show a new side of himself onstage.
Rianelle Albaladejo: Tveit Disney Prince. Prince Eric. Or If there's gonna be an Anastasia musical, he should play Dimitri
Richard Gehrke: I heard that Aladdin was coming to Broadway and if that's true he has got to be Aladdin/Prince Ali
Anything Disney - and royalty - would be well-suited to Tveit, according to his fans.
Tveit could follow in the footsteps of his Les Misérables co-star Hugh Jackman, who played the role of Joe Gillis in Australia. Playing the down-on-his-luck screenwriter who is seduced into a world of forgotten glamour, Tveit would certainly be believable as the object of Norma Desmond's obsession.

This would certainly be a change of pace for Tveit, and the score, which includes the song, "Anything For Him," which many of his fans would want to sing along to.
If Tveit were cast as Aaron Samuels in the musical adaptation of the hit movie by Tina Fey, that casting would be so fetch.
Tveit hasn't done a non-musical yet on Broadway, and taking on the role of love-struck Benedick, or the darkly obsessed Iago, would show some talents his fans haven't seen onstage yet.

It would certainly be a beautiful morning for his fans if Tveit played the romantic cowboy in the classic musical.
Tveit is a big baseball fan and he could combine two of his loves here by taking on the role of Joe, who sells his soul to the devil so the Yankees won't win the championship. But Tveit is a Yankees fan, so could he really play the part?
Honorable mentions included Alan in Equus, Tommy in Tommy, Ramades in Aida, Charlie Price in Kinky Boots and the title role in Pippin.
