The word "seiyuu" is a Japanese term that means a voice actor or actress.  This page will have some information about the seiyuu for Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon.  In case you couldn't tell, the bar on the left has the character name, the one on the right has the seiyuu, and the space in the middle is for the other parts the seiyuu has done before.  Not all the parts they've played, I'll only list parts from anime that most people know about (not really obscure stuff).  Okay, here they are...

If I could re-cast Sailormoon...
Okay, this is something new.  This is me fantasizing that I'm the casting director for Sailormoon.  :P No, this is where I say which seiyuu I would cast as which parts if I re-cast them.  I'm only doing a few of the senshi, because some of the senshi have great seiyuu that I wouldn't want to replace (in which case I'd say why I thought this voice fits the character).  Please don't consider this an attack against the seiyuu, because I love them all and I think they're great.  This is just for fun, okay?  F-U-N, which I know some people have no concept of.  I mean, I think all the senshi voices fit their character, these are just a few...alternatives, I'd say.  Okay, I'm babbling and you're saying "Lemme see the !@#$ing seiyuu!" so I will.

Tsukino Usagi/Sailormoon
I think her seiyuu, Mitsuishi Kotono, is good as she is.  Although if I had to suggest another seiyuu I'd say Iwao Junko.  Why?  Well, she has a high voice for one thing, which is, like, absolutely necessary when you're playing a ditz character.  Though she could play Minako too, I already have someone in mind for Minako right now (see below).

Mizuno Ami/Sailormercury
Hisakawa Aya was a good choice for her.  What, does Aya-san just like to play blue-haired geniuses or what?  I mean, Kaoru Miki from Utena.  When I saw him at first and heard his voice I'm like, hey, Ami-chan.  Anyway, yes, this seiyuu has had a lot of practice with that kinda character, and I can't think of any better seiyuu right now, so...there it is. 

Hino Rei/Sailormars
Okay, Tomizawa Michie is great (and without her we might not have Fire Soul Love, which would be a bad thing).  But you know Umi from Magic Knight Rayearth.  Yeah, her seiyuu is Konami Yoshida.  I think she would be a good one for Mars because Umi and Rei are very similar.  Odd that they control opposing elements (Umi/water and Rei/fire).  So that's who I'd say for Mars.

Kino Makoto/Sailorjupiter
I'm thinking Kawakami Tomoko, definitely.  The title character from Shoujo Kakumei Utena had her voice, and she was great at that.  Now Makoto, she's very masculine like Utena, so that's why I thought about that.  Not that Shinohara Emi isn't good enough, she is and she can sing very well.  But I like Kawakami Tomoko, darnit!

Aino Minako/Sailorvenus
Okay, how about Hayashibara Megumi?  I don't know, somehow Fukami Rika's voice sounds out of place coming from Minako.  Lina Inverse's voice would fit in much better, and that's where Hayashibara Megumi comes in.  I don't really know why Fukami Rika sounds weird to me..

Chiba Mamoru/Tuxedo Kamen
Furuya Tohru is good, but you know who'd be even better?  Seki Tomokazu.  He's played the hero a lot, and in my humble opinion he's a better seiyuu than Furuya.  Like maybe...Suzuhara Touji from Evangelion, he'd make a good Mamoru voice.  And guess what, his voice is Seki Tomokazu!

Chibiusa/Sailorchibimoon
Araki Kae is a good voice for this character, but Yokoyama Chisa would be equally good.  You may have never heard of her before, but she played Sasami in Tenchi Muyo.  Or maybe Tange Sakura would be good too.  Her natural voice sounds kind of like a child's, like in Card Captor Sakura.  So either one would be appropriate for Chibiusa.

Kaiou Michiru/Sailorneptune
I don't think I'd want to replace Katsuki Masako, because I think her voice fits this character well.  She sounds elegant, refined, and just a little stuck-up, like Michiru.  I haven't heard her in anything else except for Evangelion though, so I don't know what kind of range of characters she has. 

Tenou Haruka/Sailoruranus
Ogata Megumi is an excellent seiyuu; she can play any part perfectly.  But if I absolutely had to replace her, I'd pick Sakamoto Chika.  She played Yaten later on in Sailormoon, also Nuriko in Fushigi Yuugi...both crossdressers.  And she can do both a male or female voice, equally good at both.

Meiou Setsuna/Sailorpluto
Kawashima Chiyoko did a good job as Pluto.  I can't really think of anyone who would do a better job, but then maybe I haven't heard enough seiyuu to make an "educated decision" yet.  But anyway, she sounds very mysterious and wise and all that.  Although I could think of a million people who would be better than her English dub seiyuu (same seiyuu who played Ann).

Tomoe Hotaru/Sailorsaturn
Hotaru is very similar to Hououji Fuu from Rayearth.  They're both quiet and smart, also they both have powers that heal people.  So I think that Kasahara Hiroko (Fuu's seiyuu) would be a replacement for Hotaru's.  Though Minaguchi Yuko does a good job anyway.
