In earlier drafts, the essential Narrator character from the original stage musical was still part of the story. Before the role was written out of the script, many actors were either considered, in talks, or asked to play the role including Jeremy Irons, Christopher Plummer, Geoffrey Rush, James Earl Jones, John Cleese, Sir Michael Caine, Michael Gambon, and Alan Rickman. There were even rumors about giving this role to a woman, such as Julie Andrews or Angela Lansbury, who are both Disney favorites, as well as experts on Stephen Sondheim's material.
