it usually depends on the director. They should tell you an age range before the auditions though.
she is a lonely girl that jjust wants to be with MArius. i played her last year in our big production of Les Miserable. it was a lot of FUN!!!
Eponine is a blonde, and her sister Azelma has auburnish hair.
Any part with Eponine. :)
In "Les Misérables," there isn't a character explicitly labeled as a soubrette in the traditional sense. However, the character of Eponine can be seen as embodying some soubrette qualities, as she is portrayed with charm and a lively spirit despite her tragic circumstances. Eponine's role adds complexity to the narrative, highlighting themes of unrequited love and social struggle. Overall, while not a classic soubrette, she contributes to the story's emotional depth.
There were pirated production almost immediately after publication.
The antagonist in "Les Misérables" is typically Javert, a police inspector who relentlessly pursues the protagonist, Jean Valjean, throughout the story. Javert represents the rigid enforcement of the law and serves as a foil to Valjean's compassionate and altruistic character.
It would depend on the production and director's vision. Eponine is typically portrayed by an older actress due to the character's maturity and life experiences, but some productions may choose to cast a younger actor for a fresh interpretation.
Les Miserables was written by Victor Hugo.
In the book, Eponine tells Marius right before she dies, "And you know what Monsieur Marius? I was a little bit in love with you." (or something like that.) And in the musical, she tells him through the song "A Little Fall of Rain."
yes
One main theme from Les Miserables is desperation. An example of this is Eponine's fight against trying to win over her true love, Marius, who is actually in love with Cosette. Who Eponine used to treat horribly. Even in the finale of the show, Eponine still screams the words: One more day all on my own (these words are sung by Eponine in the finale song 'One Day More.') Thsi shows her desperation in winning over her love Marius, even when she knows that she cannot have him.
Most everyone is miserable, the only people I can think about who truly show no sign of sadness are the Thenardiers. Jean Valjean has to constantly be on the run from Javert, and Cosette is one of the only lights in his life. Cosette was also a miserable child and Eponine is miserable because of her shattered love. Although these are the main characters and we see that they aren't necessarily "miserable", they do have many grievances in their lives. The poor people of France are truly who "the miserables" refers to.
